Walking into the land of flowers and trees is like walking into a big garden without walls. Elegant, detached, fresh and pleasant environment reminds people of the "Peach Blossom Garden" of Tao Qian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But Tao Gong's "Peach Blossom Garden" is a distant dream, and xinhe town's modern "Peach Blossom Garden" is realistic and the "source of famous trees" in the fiery world.
After entering the "big garden without walls", there are countless "walled" scenic spots. There is no need to "buy extra tickets" for these attractions. Whether it is an institution, a school or a villagers' neighborhood committee, it is a colorful "garden in the garden". There are 10 administrative villages in the town, and almost every village has a "flower boutique garden" or a flower market, flower company, etc. In several "bonsai" such as Tong Huai and Zhou Quan.
Garden and flower market, you can see Tao Qian's unimaginable exotic flowers and plants, as well as many lifelike bonsai of flowers and trees, such as dinosaurs, galloping horses, giraffes, camels, lying cows, lions, pagodas, mountains and dark clouds, which really amazes poets and painters.
According to the examination, farmers in xinhe town have been focusing on flowers for more than 400 years. Hu Lian (1469- 1542), an anti-Portuguese hero in Ming Dynasty, was a strategist, politician and amateur gardener. At that time, he was defeating Portugal. When Xinhe triumphed, he bought many famous flowers from Hainan and planted them at home. Usually, in addition to cultivating their own sentiments, they also teach farmers in their hometown to grow flowers. At present, nine Sabina chinensis in Zhouquan Garden have a history of more than 300 years, and their "provenance" is in the south. Some people say that they are the "second generation species" left over from the Hu Lian era. These nine kinds of Gu Song bonsai are vigorous and soft, which can be called "living fossils of plants". According to the old man guarding the garden, there is a pine pile bonsai in Zhouquan with a history of more than 300 years. In 1960, the Guanyun County People's Government built a martyrs cemetery in Dayi Mountain. On behalf of the people of Shuyang, Zhouquan Brigade presented two plants, and no one in Zhouquan would sell them unless a large sum of money was paid. It's just that they didn't say anything about Meng Tu. From this incident, we can see that the people of Xinhe are passionate about the revolution and love flowers and trees.
Walking into the hometown of flowers and trees, we can not only see more than 50 traditional flowers and trees that never stopped 300 to 500 years ago, but also thousands of rare domestic and foreign varieties newly introduced in recent 20 years, such as Brazilian wood, Belgian rhododendron, Japanese pine and cactus, Vietnamese and Korean rose, Cambodian rose and Taiwan Province Golden Pagoda bamboo. Experts from Nanjing Botanical Garden said: xinhe town can be called the world flower garden.
