brief introduction

Plum blossom is the city flower of Nanjing. The plum blossom mountain in the eastern suburb of Nanjing has been famous since the Republic of China. It is also known as the four most beautiful places to enjoy plum blossoms, such as Donghu plum garden in Wuhan, Wuxi plum garden and xiangxuehai in Suzhou. During February and March every year, it attracts millions of tourists to go there to search for plum blossoms.

The South expansion of plum blossom mountain extends the plum blossom mountain scenic area to the famous Ming Xiaoling Shixiang Road, Zhongshan Mausoleum Avenue and the Shanghai Nanjing expressway connecting line, and connects with the Ming City Wall scenic belt, Qianhu and other scenic spots, so that the plum blossom base has changed from a mountain peak - Plum Blossom mountain to the whole valley in the southwest of Zijin Mountain - plum blossom Valley, from 513 Mu to 1533 mu, which is worthy of the name of "No.1 in the world" "Plum garden".

In addition to 400000 new trees planted here, more than 1000 big plum trees have been transplanted. The number of plum blossoms in Meihua Valley has increased from 15000 to 35000, and the number of varieties has increased from 230 to 330, many of which are newly cultivated. This makes Meihua Valley much larger than Donghu plum garden in Wuhan, Wuxi plum garden and xiangxuehai in Suzhou in terms of number, variety and area.

The most eye-catching place is the use of existing terrain artificial enclosure of an 80 mu artificial lake - yanque lake.

Sun Quan of Soochow was buried here. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan and Mrs. Bu were buried here. In 1946, the Kuomintang government bombed Wang's grave and built a "guanmeixuan" in the cemetery, which is now on the top of the building. Plum blossom mountain is located in Xiaoling of Ming Dynasty and beside Shixiang road. The plum blossom inside and outside is luxuriant. It covers an area of nearly 140000 square meters and has planted more than 13000 plum trees of more than 200 varieties. Every spring, there is an endless stream of tourists here to enjoy the plum blossom.

Plum blossom is the flower of Nanjing City (adopted at the second session of the eighth Nanjing Municipal People's Congress in 1982). Exploring and appreciating plum is a folk custom in Nanjing. Nanjing has a long history of planting and appreciating plum. According to historical facts, meilinggang in the south of the city and meihuawu at the foot of Zhongshan in the north of the city are both good places for planting and appreciating plum. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei painted the picture of plum blossom on Zhongshan Mountain, drawing the landscape of "dragon pan resort, plum blossom in spring". Nowadays, in Nanjing, there are plum temples in Pearl Spring Tourist Resort (wanzhumeihai) and Gulin Park (Meiling), especially in Meihua Mountain, one of the four major plum gardens in China. When the plum blossom is in full bloom in spring, ten thousand plum blossom trees in Meihua Mountain are in full bloom. There are many flowers in the mountain. There are as many as 40000 or 500000 people who come to explore and appreciate the plum blossom. The Management Office of Zhongshan Mausoleum planted a large number of plum blossoms in Meihua Mountain. Since 1958, more than 100 mu of barren hills have been opened up, and a large number of precious varieties have been planted, such as orangutan red, gulihong, zhaoshui, Gongfen, Tiaozhi, Chiba red, Changzhi, rouge, Yudi, Songchun and so on. Among them, "biejiaowanshui" is the only one in China, which is particularly precious. In spring, when the plum blossom is in full bloom, the mountains are full of flowers. Tourists come here to enjoy the plum blossom, and the peak season is more than 100000 every day. For the convenience of tourists, in 1982, the cemetery management office built a new tourist restaurant in the north of the east of Meihua. It was named "dark fragrance Pavilion" after the Song Dynasty poet Lin Bu's poem "thin shadow, clear water, dark fragrance floating in the evening" The restaurant is a two-story building. You can enjoy the intoxicating scenery of Meihua Mountain by the window. Downstairs, there are yongmeizhai, shuyingtang and Zhichun Pavilion. The pavilion and pavilion are connected by winding and falling corridors. The whole building area is about 1 540 square meters.

Since 1992, Zhongshan Cemetery Management Office has opened a new plum garden on the east side of plum blossom. New plum garden is not only the continuation of plum mountain, but also a natural landscape plum garden. The whole garden covers an area of 72309 square meters, with more than 2500 newly planted plum trees. Together with the original plum mountain, it forms a thousand mu garden with ten thousand plum trees. At the same time, ornamental plants such as cherry blossom, Albizia julibrissin and Taxodium ascendens are planted in the new plum garden, and lawns are laid to make up for the gap caused by seasonal changes and make the whole garden have scenery in four seasons. The park also opened up an artificial water surface of 6672 square meters, divided into a number of small ponds, forming a unique waterscape. Linchi also has a fragrant endless Pavilion and a cold fragrant Pavilion, both decorated with colored paintings, and the top of the pavilion is covered with yellow glazed tiles. According to historical records, Meihua Mountain was the site of the tomb of Sun Quan in the eastern Wu Dynasty. In order to commemorate this historic site, a new Sun Quan story garden was built at the eastern foot of Meihua in 1993. At the same time, more than 100 kinds of Japanese plum varieties were introduced to Sun Quan story garden, which provided rich variety resources for plum research. Now, Meihua Mountain covers an area of 420 mu, with more than 200 varieties and 13000 plants. With its unique natural and cultural advantages, Nanjing Meihua Mountain is attracting more and more tourists at home and abroad, and gradually becoming the National Center of Mei culture.
