Located in Heping Town, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Chengshangou Valley is nestled against the mountains and waters, boasting beautiful scenery. To the east, there are over two hundred acres of peach blossom lake, and to the west, there stands the thousand-year-old cultural temple, Chengshan Qingliang Zen Temple. Particularly during the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, the hillsides are adorned with a sea of pink peach trees, beneath which are clusters of yellow rapeseed flowers and white radish flowers, presenting a picturesque rural landscape.
