Husi Suiyuan Museum Introduction
The park was established in 1978, and its inception has a rich background. More than twenty years ago, Master Zhang Daqian, a renowned Chinese painter, visited Nanzhuang but lamented not being able to see plum blossoms, which inspired the park owner to dedicate himself to planting plums. Although Master Zhang unfortunately never got to see the plum blossoms bloom in Nanzhuang, the owner gained valuable experience in growing plums and transformed the area into a place that embodies nature, culture, and art. The area planted with plum trees covers approximately 0.6 hectares, with more than 20 varieties of plum blossoms, including rare specimens such as the century-old red plum and the golden-thread weeping plum, as well as numerous exquisite plum bonsai. During the plum blossom season from December to March of the following year, the trees are adorned with beautiful blossoms, making the park a stunning sight. In addition to admiring the plums, visitors can also enjoy a unique plum tea made from budding plum blossoms, which is a delightful beverage. Outside of the plum blossom season, cherry blossoms, tung flowers, lotus flowers, maple leaves, and sweet osmanthus bloom in sequence, filling the park with diverse seasonal beauty. Besides the outdoor plum blossoms, there is a museum within the park that collects many artifacts and artworks related to plum blossoms and Bodhidharma, as well as ancient relics from the early days of Nanzhuang's booming mining and forestry industries. The museum offers periodic displays, adding a cultural atmosphere to the plum garden.
