Peach Blossom Spring Introduction
Peach Blossom Source is the backyard of Majia Township. Located at an altitude of 1,077 meters, amidst misty mountains, it covers about 0.67 hectares, where many peach trees, red-fleshed plum trees, apricot trees, and wild lilies are planted, offering a beautiful view. Why is it named "Peach Blossom Source"? It begins with a love story of peaches and apricots. Mr. Pan Yongfu, the owner of Peach Blossom Source, planted many peach trees on his hillside. After much effort, he was finally able to produce a bountiful harvest, but it was ruined by a group of uninvested shareholders (monkeys), resulting in losses every year with no harvest. In the end, he had to change his approach and tried grafting peach trees onto apricot trees, only to find they bloomed without fruit; the flowers appeared in white, red, and pink shades, with petals having 32 petals (original peach flowers had only 5). Thus, he named it "Peach-Apricot Multi-Petal Flower," which is both beautiful and romantic. Originally, he used to prune and sell flowers before the New Year, enjoying being a happy flower farmer. After some time, he had an unfulfilled dream of developing the community's industry. Therefore, he gathered like-minded individuals from the community to establish the "Wada Tribal Industry Development Association," changing the industry strategy to open the flower viewing for tourists during the blooming season, charging a 50 NTD cleaning fee per person. From then on, Chairman Pan no longer sold flowers or fruits but devoted his efforts to invigorate the community's industry, providing tourists with a chance to appreciate the beautiful and romantic sea of flowers, creating a paradise in the back mountains of Majia Township.
