Camellia Villa Introduction
The Camellia Garden is located along the midway road to Xinfangzi in Meizhuqi, about two kilometers from Shuangxi Station. The tea flower planting area covers 2.5 hectares, cultivating 800 varieties of camellia from around the world, including excellent foreign varieties from China, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. The flowers come in a variety of vibrant colors and diverse petal shapes and sizes, showcasing a stunning display that captivates visitors. Utilizing grafting techniques, many camellia bonsai are also grown, so even though the camellia flowering season is from December to April each year, visitors can enjoy the bonsai throughout the rest of the year. The garden features areas such as a camellia forest, a camellia trail, a digital camellia exhibit, a herb garden, an organic vegetable area, a osmanthus grove, a colored wild ginger flower area, a river ecology area, a bird watching area, and a firefly area, with professional guides leading tours to help visitors learn about various plants and animals. The owner of the garden is a descendant of Zhuang Tingcan, a tribute scholar from the Qing Dynasty. Next to the garden is a traditional Sanhe courtyard known as the Tribute Scholar's Old House, with a stone wall carved with camellia reliefs, making it a wonderful spot for visitors to explore while enjoying the camellias.
