Lanzhou One-Day Tour - The World's Largest Pear Orchard (Shichuan Pear Orchard)

Located in an ancient town to the northeast of Lanzhou, Gansu - Shichuan. Shichuan Town is about 20 kilometers northeast of Lanzhou, with the Yellow River running through it. The area is famous for its melons and fruits, and is commonly referred to as the 'Little Jiangnan' of the borderlands. What is most breathtaking is the largest pear orchard in China, spanning over ten thousand mu, known as the 'World's First Ancient Pear Orchard'. The orchard covers an area of more than 12,000 mu, with most trees being over three hundred years old. There are over nine thousand ancient pear trees that are over a hundred years old, covering an area of four thousand mu. In 2013, it was officially recorded in the 'Guinness World Records'. The pear trees in the orchard are of various shapes and forms, presenting a spectacular sight, and are acclaimed as 'China's Number One Wonder'. A Japanese botanist called it a 'miracle of the world's plant kingdom', a rare 'living plant specimen' globally, and a precious 'pear orchard museum'. This weekend, let's take a boat to the ancient Shichuan Pear Orchard to enjoy the flowers and check in.
