In the spring of 2020, due to a sudden epidemic, I stayed at home for more than a month. I really wanted to go out and find a place with flowers, grass and trees to experience spring. Everyone has a garden in their hearts. Which garden should I go to enjoy flowers this spring? At the foot of Fengqi Mountain, 70 kilometers south of Nanjing, there is a village that seems to be hidden in the world. Together with all things in heaven and earth, it has been nourished by the spiritual green mountains and clear waters for thousands of years. This is Lishui's Sanye Menghuayuan.

When I came to Sanye Menghua Garden, I saw that the scenery in the garden was carefully carved and orderly. Begonia, magnolia, cherry blossoms, and roses are blooming in full bloom in the garden. It brings together the essence of famous gardens from 15 countries around the world and carefully builds it into a Chinese "Buchat Garden".

Menghuayuan was built by Jiangsu Sanye Garden Co., Ltd. over 14 years. It transformed 8000 acres of low-yield fields into a nursery stock base, planted precious tree species such as crabapple, magnolia, cherry blossoms, and beech trees, becoming a distinctive forest park. Every spring, the flowers here open one after another, creating a gorgeous sea of flowers, becoming a new landmark for scenic tourism in southern Nanjing.

Walking into Sanye Menghuayuan, follow Mengdie Lake, Yulan Lake, Rock Garden, Mirror Pond, Rose Garden, Dutch Garden, Manhua Slope, Azalea Slope, all the way to enjoy the lakes and mountains, stroll among the sea of flowers, and experience the composition of gardens. Fairy tale beaches, camp accommodation, sweat park and fun park. Every grass and tree in the park have been carefully selected and carefully crafted. In the garden, you can appreciate the beauty of Western-style gardens and traditional Chinese gardens at the same time. The two styles of east and west coexist harmoniously in Menghuayuan.

There are more than 2000 species of plants from all over the world in Menghuayuan. There are nearly 50 varieties of cherry blossoms alone. Among them, hanging branches like willows are rare in Jiangsu, but more than 300 trees are planted here., it is currently the place with the most concentrated hanging cherry planting in China. Various varieties of cherry blossoms compete for beauty in Menghuayuan, forming a 3-kilometer-long cherry blossom avenue.

The roses in the park are the world's top variety of Austin roses introduced from the UK. They have been planted on more than 100 acres to form a rose field. Bulbous flowers such as tulips, hyacinths, lilies, green onions, etc. were introduced from the Netherlands and other countries. From spring to autumn, Menghuayuan has flowers in full bloom every season. When the garden was not yet built, many tourists came to watch it. In the spring and summer of 2019, tens of thousands of tourists a day at most.

Sanye Menghuayuan has a garden with the theme of Dutch bulbous plants. There are more than 10 types of tulips, lilies, fritillaria, daffodils, crocus, hyacinth, grape hyacinth, amaranthus, and large flower onions. The varieties, quantity, quality and arrangement of various bulbous flowers such as tulips are all excellent. There are more than 100 varieties of tulips. Every mid-March, tulips of various colors bloom competitively, swaying in the wind, and hundreds of flowers compete for beauty, presenting a colorful and lively scene, forming a colorful picture.

The Natural Rose Garden is mainly composed of Austin roses, equipped with various flowers and high-quality lawns. It is full of romantic flowers in spring, summer and autumn, making it an ideal place to hold Western-style outdoor weddings.
