Wenhuacun: A Floral and Rural Tourism Paradise

Wenhuacun is located at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan, adjacent to Jiezi Ancient Town. It is a large-scale ecological buffer and living breathing space on the edge of the basin in the Greater Qingcheng tourism economic belt. It is a rural complex that has been continuously built, upgraded, optimized, and improved under the protection of the ‘Two Bombs, One Satellite’ and a rural tourism and sightseeing world themed around flowers. Plum blossoms and begonias are the ‘atomic bombs’ and ‘hydrogen bombs’ of Wenhuacun, and its core competitiveness. Wenhuacun is a large-scale collector of scarce horticultural resources of plum blossoms and begonias and a master of variety resources. It is a leader among the world’s specialized theme gardens for plum blossoms and begonias.
The combination of Pink Lady Cherry, Sunshine Cherry, and Somei Yoshino Cherry in Wenhuacun forms a farmland forest network. The demonstration base for rotation of rape flowers and rice and the demonstration base for coexistence of rice and fish are characteristic and innovative in the integration of rural scenery at home and abroad. ‘Cherry blossoms + rape flowers’ are the main attractions, and other flower series are supplementary.


What always blooms and never withers in Wenhuacun is the flower of rural revitalization. The Beginning of Spring marks the start of spring, and the time sequence enters spring. Although it is still chilly at this time, the cold winter has ended, spring has returned to the earth, all things have revived, and nature is full of vitality.


[Plum Garden]


The dragon-shaped weeping plum is one of the most important core competitiveness of Wenhuacun. It was a flower exclusive to the imperial gardens in ancient China. The plum garden in Wenhuacun is the world’s specialized theme garden with the largest number of weeping plums in horticultural shapes, filling a domestic gap. It was planned to plant 1,200 trees, and more than 1,000 trees have been planted.


The scale is grand and spectacular, and the beauty is unparalleled and irreproducible. The weeping plums in Wenhuacun mainly include Kaiyun Weeping, Pink Weeping, White Jasper Weeping, Remnant Snow Weeping, and Brocade Red Weeping. The flower colors include pink, red, and greenish-white varieties. The main feature is that the branches naturally droop or slope down like willow branches, forming an independent umbrella-shaped crown.



People often say that a young girl’s heart is always like a poem, a pink poem. The pink weeping plum blossoms are like young girls with budding feelings and a fluttering heart. Their S-shaped figures are graceful and charming. The branches like a weak willow in the breeze are like beautiful long hair, floating and lively. They cover their faces and lower their heads, full of shyness, as if painted, and gentle as water. The flower shapes are beautiful and diverse, the flower postures are graceful and varied, the flower colors are gorgeous and colorful, and the smell is fragrant and attractive. Being among them is pleasing to the eye, evoking boundless reverie and making people reluctant to leave. Under the brilliant sun, it stirs the heart and expresses the young girl’s heart vividly.


[Begonia Garden]


The second core competitiveness of Wenhuacun is the begonia. Begonia flowers are charming and moving, and they are both magnificent and dignified. They have always been known as the ‘Fairy in Flowers’ and the ‘Noble Concubine among Flowers’. After rain and dew, their delicate fragrance still lingers. The Spring Festival is a good time to visit Wenhuacun to enjoy the begonias.
