“I just feel so surprised that apart from the fun of farming, I could also see such a wonderful Dendrobium forest." Alex, a video influencer from the UK said frankly during his visit to the Tieding Liuliu Paradise in Xiashantou Village, Dajing Town, Yueqing City.   

Alex was not the only guest for this wonderful trip. We also had Jonny, a street photographer from the U.S. to join us on the trip to Yueqing. 

The Tieding Liuliu Paradise covers an area of about 2,000 acres. It is a pastoral complex project with Dendrobium officinale (a kind of Chinese traditional medicine) as its core and integrates themed amusement, pastoral leisure, residence & vacation, and popular science education. The name of the paradise is derived from the combination of Dendrobium and Liuliu. During this one-day trip, Alex and Jonny enjoyed the local traditional farming customs and had a try of the puffed rice by themselves and hand-grinding soy milk, and so forth. 

In addition to the farming experience, the two of them have also tried an exciting project called Hu Liuliu. The Hu Liuliu pipes are meandering from the top of Hutou Mountain to the foot of the mountain, with a total length of more than 1,620 meters. The tourist just slides down with the help of gravity during the whole process. It makes this sliding experience totally different from other roller coaster projects. Alex exclaimed: "I really want to try it again!"

Our two guests not only visited the various cultivation methods of Dendrobium candidum in the area but also learned about the characteristics and varieties of Dendrobium and experienced the making of Dendrobium mask.
