Peach Blossom Spring Introduction
Peach Blossom Land is the backyard of Majiang Township. At an altitude of 1,077 meters in the misty mountain peaks, it covers an area of about 2 hectares and is home to many peach trees, red flesh plum trees, apricot trees, and wild lilies, offering a stunning view. Why is it named "Peach Blossom Land"? It starts with a romantic love story about peaches and apricots. Mr. Pan Yongfu, the owner of Peach Blossom Land, planted many peach trees on his hillside. After much effort in nurturing them to bear fruit, he faced ruin due to a group of non-investing shareholders (monkeys) that caused him annual losses. Eventually, he had to change his approach and tried grafting peach trees with apricot trees. To his surprise, they only blossomed with flowers but did not bear fruit. The flowers appeared in white, red, and pink colors, and surprisingly had 32 petals (the original peach blossoms had only 5 petals). He called this the "Peach Apricot Cluster Flower," both beautiful and romantic. Originally, he cut flowers and sold them before the New Year, enjoying life as a happy flower farmer. Over time, he held a dream of revitalizing the industry in his village. Therefore, he gathered some like-minded individuals from the community to establish the "Wada Tribal Industry Development Association," aiming to change industry strategies by opening the area for tourists to enjoy the blossoms 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 invigorate the local industry while providing visitors with the opportunity to admire the beautiful and romantic sea of flowers, creating a paradise in the mountains of Majiang Township.
