Camellia Villa Introduction
The Camellia Garden is located along the mountain road from Meizhuqi to Xinliao in the Upper Linli area, about two kilometers from Shuangxi Station. The cultivation area for camellias covers 2.5 hectares, featuring 800 varieties from around the world, including excellent foreign cultivars from China, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. The flowers come in a variety of colors, with unique petal shapes and sizes, creating a picturesque display that is truly captivating. Moreover, through grafting techniques, many camellia bonsais are cultivated, allowing visitors to appreciate them even outside the blooming season, which lasts from December to April of the following year. The garden includes areas for camellia forests, camellia walking paths, digital camellias, medicinal plant sections, organic vegetable zones, osmanthus groves, colorful ginger flower areas, river ecological zones, birdwatching spots, and firefly zones. Professional guides are available to lead tours and help visitors learn about various animals and plants. The owner of the Camellia Garden is a descendant of Zhuang Tingcan, a贡生 (gongsheng) from the Qing Dynasty, and next to the garden stands an ancestral hall built in the traditional Sanhe courtyard style, featuring a stone wall with a carved camellia relief, which visitors can also explore while enjoying the flowers.
