Location & Accessibility

Rongjie Taiwan Fruit Sightseeing Garden is tucked away in a serene village near Xiamen, specifically at Doumen Natural Village, Lianqian Village, Neicuo Town. It’s right next to the Lianxi Bridge exit on Haixiang Avenue, making it easy to spot if you’re driving. The garden sits by a quiet coastline, so you’ll get views of fields and the sea—talk about a double treat!

How to Get There

  • By Car: Punch “Rongjie Taiwan Fruit Sightseeing Garden” into your GPS, and follow Haixiang Avenue until you hit the Lianxi Bridge exit. Free parking is available, which is a huge plus.
  • Public Transport: Take the bus to Neicuo Town and call a ride-share (like Didi) for the final 5-minute ride. The driver will know the place if you say “Taiwan fruit garden.”
  • Bike Rental: If you’re up for a fun ride, rent a bike in Xiamen Island and pedal along the coastal road. The garden is about 30 minutes from Wuyuan Bay by bike.

Nature’s Playground

This place feels like a living postcard! The garden spans hundreds of acres of vibrant orchards, with fruits like mangoes, papayas, and dragon fruits growing year-round. Depending on the season, you’ll see different crops:

  • Spring: Pink peach blossoms and ripe strawberries.
  • Summer: Juicy dragon fruit and mango trees heavy with fruit.
  • Fall: Sweet citrus and sun-kissed bananas.
  • Winter: Cool-weather veggies like taro and sugar cane.
    There’s also a tiny bamboo grove and a pond with koi fish—perfect for photo ops.

Cultural Highlights

What makes Rongjie special? It’s a bridge between Taiwanese farming traditions and Xiamen’s local culture. The owners are a Taiwanese family who’ve introduced rare fruit species (like sweet sapodilla) and sustainable farming techniques. You can:

  • Learn how they grow organic fruits without pesticides.
  • Try DIY fruit-picking (staff give you a basket and guide you).
  • Visit the Taiwan-style farmhouse, which has old tools and vintage photos.
    They even host fruit-carving workshops, where you’ll learn to turn a watermelon into art!

Practical Perks

The garden is super tourist-friendly:

  • Free Wi-Fi: Available in the main area.
  • Snacks & Meals: A small cafe sells fruit-based treats (think mango ice cream and fresh-squeezed juices). There’s also a picnic area with tables.
  • Souvenir Shop: Buy dried fruit, jams, or tiny potted plants to take home.
  • Clean Restrooms: Always a win for outdoor spots in China!

The Experience

Visiting Rongjie feels like stepping into a slower, sweeter world. Unlike crowded tourist spots, it’s peaceful—you’ll hear birds and breezes, not loud crowds. Families love it because kids can run freely (there’s even a small playground). Couples come for romantic walks under fruit trees, and photographers will die for the golden-hour shots.

Pro Tip: Go on a weekday morning. The light is soft, and you’ll have the orchards almost to yourself. Oh, and don’t miss the sunset by the pond—it’s magical!

Whether you’re a nature lover, culture buff, or just looking for a breath of fresh air, Rongjie Taiwan Fruit Sightseeing Garden is worth the trip. Pack comfy shoes, a hat, and lots of phone storage—you’ll want to snap every corner!
