Ginkgo Corridor (Best viewing period: mid-to-early November)
Ginkgo is the representative tree species of Qingqing Manor and is widely distributed in the kiwifruit forest. While providing a protective forest function for the kiwifruit forest, the ginkgo corridor has also become a landmark and famous landscape of the manor. There are two most famous ginkgo corridors in Qingqing Manor, namely the Classic Ginkgo Corridor and the New Ginkgo Corridor, one long and one short, straight and one curved, echoing each other.
Bauhinia Corridor (viewing period: March-April)
Cercis chinensis (scientific name: Cercis chinensis), a deciduous tree or shrub in the Fabaceae family, is native to China. It enjoys sunlight and has some cold tolerance. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and cannot tolerate flooding. It has a strong tendency to sprout and is tolerant of pruning. The flowers of the chinensis are used as medicine. They bloom before the leaves, and the purple-red or pink flowers, 2-10 or more, are clustered on older branches and main trunks. The main trunks are particularly abundant, with fewer flowers on the upper, younger branches. Flowers usually bloom before the leaves, but on younger branches or young plants, they bloom at the same time as the leaves, making them the best viewing time.
Botanical Zoo (one of the featured attractions of Qingqing Manor)
The garden adopts local garden tree species such as Chinese photinia, Ligustrum lucidum, and Ilex holly, and has been cultivated for more than ten years. It is divided into eight major sections: tropical rainforest, desert journey, ocean world, Huaguoshan, bird paradise, African jungle, dinosaur world, and animal kingdom. There are twelve zodiac animal shapes, more than 20 idiom stories such as Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl, Dominating the World, Besieged on All Sides, and Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, and more than one hundred animal shapes.
