Introducing Tangshan Cuigu

Nanjing Tangshan Cuigu Ecological Tourism Resort, covering an area of 3,000 acres, was built on the basis of a modern agricultural high-tech ecological tourism park with large scale, high technological content, beautiful ecological environment and complete sightseeing and leisure facilities.

The park boasts expansive views and a well-planned layout, with rows of fruit and tea trees and extensive greenhouse facilities. Broad grape trellises are laden with fruit, while rolling hills are blanketed in lush greenery and covered in fruit and tea. A computer-controlled drip irrigation system imported from Israel sprays nectar, completely controlling the irrigation of hundreds of acres of fruit and tea gardens. This is Nanjing's first agricultural tourism and leisure park dedicated to flower viewing, fruit tasting, tea tasting, and fishing. The air is fresh and the scenery is delightful, reminiscent of a paradise. In spring, there are strawberries, cherries, and tea; in summer, loquats, apples, grapes, peaches, and melons; in autumn, chestnuts, pears, and kiwis; and in winter, Egyptian sugar oranges, mandarin oranges, and navel oranges. A myriad of fruits fill the air year-round. The artificial lake with an area of nearly 50 acres is embedded between the green mountains and orchards. The lake water is sparkling and jumping, like a crystal clear pearl shining brightly. The winding lakeshore is lined with pavilions, waterside pavilions, graceful weeping willows and blooming pomegranates.
