Peach Blossom Spring Introduction
Peach Blossom Source is the backyard of Majia Township. At an elevation of 1,077 meters, amidst the misty mountains, it covers an area of about 0.2 hectares, where many peach trees, red-fleshed plum trees, apricot trees, and wild lilies are cultivated, offering a beautiful view. Why is it named "Peach Blossom Source"? It starts with a love story involving peaches and apricots. The owner of Peach Blossom Source, Mr. Pan Yongfu, planted many peach trees on his hillside. After much effort, the trees finally began to bear fruit, but a group of non-investing shareholders (the monkeys) caused great losses, resulting in no harvest each year. Eventually, he had to change his approach, trying to graft peach trees with apricot trees, but unexpectedly, they only bloomed without producing fruit, displaying flowers in white, red, and pink, with an incredible 32 petals (original peach blossoms have only 5 petals). Thus, he named it "Peach-Apron Cluster Flower," both beautiful and romantic. Initially, he spent his time before the Lunar New Year pruning and selling flowers, enjoying his life as a happy flower farmer. Over time, he always had an unfulfilled dream of boosting the local industry. Consequently, he gathered like-minded individuals within the community to establish the Wada Tribe Industry Development Association, changing the industry strategy by opening to tourists during the flowering season, charging a cleaning fee of 50 NT dollars per person. Chairman Pan then stopped selling flowers and fruits, dedicating his efforts to invigorating the local industry and providing visitors with the chance to enjoy the beautiful and romantic flower sea, creating a paradise in the back mountains of Majia Township.
