Location & How to Get There

Fu Mei Mansion Dragon Fruit Specialized Cooperative is tucked away in the serene Da Zhai Community of Xiang’an District, just a 30-minute drive from Xiamen’s city center. The address might sound tricky, but it’s easy to reach: look for “No. 1-6 Da Zhai Lane” near Xinlian Road. If you’re coming from Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, take the taxi (about ¥40) or hop on Bus 751 to Xindian Town and walk 15 minutes. The rural roads are narrow, so driving here feels like a mini-adventure—passing rice fields and small villages along the way.

Natural Scenery: A Sea of Red and Green

This place is all about dragon fruit paradise! Imagine rows of tall, cactus-like plants climbing trellises, covered in vibrant pink or yellowish-red flowers in summer. During peak season (May to October), the farm transforms into a sea of fire-dragon-fruit-filled branches. Even in off-seasons, the green fields and hilly backdrop make it a great Instagram spot. Bonus: there’s a small lake nearby where lotus flowers bloom, adding a touch of tranquility.

Cultural Vibes: Farm Life Meets Community Spirit

Fu Mei Mansion isn’t just a farm—it’s a local success story. The cooperative started when villagers banded together to grow high-quality dragon fruit. You’ll see traditional Chinese farming techniques blended with modern setups, like greenhouses and drip irrigation. Don’t miss the little museum inside, where old tools and photos show how life here has changed. On weekends, they sometimes host dragon fruit festivals with dances and local snacks—a window into Xiamen’s rural charm.

What to Do Here

Pick Your Own Fruit

For ¥50 per person, you can wander through the fields, snipping ripe dragon fruit straight from the plant. Tip: Wear sunscreen and a hat—it’s sunny out here!

Taste Testing & Shopping

After picking, head to the gift shop for dragon fruit ice cream, dried slices, or even liquor infused with the fruit. The on-site café sells smoothies made with fresh fruit. Pro tip: Buy the “dragon fruit cactus steaks”—thin slices to grill at home!

Photo Ops

The best shots? Sunset over the fields when the sky turns orange (matching the fruit!). There’s also a giant dragon fruit statue by the entrance—silly but fun for pics.

Facilities for Travelers

The farm is tourist-friendly. You’ll find clean restrooms, shaded picnic areas, and free Wi-Fi in the café. Parking is free too, though buses are less frequent, so plan your return trip ahead. Families will love the kid-sized tractor rides (¥20) and petting zoo with ducks and goats.

Why Visit Fu Mei Mansion?

If you’re tired of crowded cities and tourist traps, this is your fix. It’s relaxing, educational, and perfect for foodies or nature lovers. Spend 2–3 hours here: wander, snap photos, taste dragon fruit in every form, and chat with the friendly farmers who run the place. Just remember: wear comfy shoes—there’s no pavement, only dirt paths!

Pro Tip: Weekdays are less crowded, and mornings are cooler. Avoid noon heat by scheduling your visit for late afternoon.
