Meihailing is located in the middle of the Dongping Mountain Range in Siming District, Xiamen. There are a great variety of bougainvilleas. It is famous for being covered with bougainvilleas throughout the four seasons. “Three red – petaled flowers with stamens, charming the whole city in the breeze.” Here is a sea of flowers. The pink ones are like rosy clouds, and the red ones are like fire.一朵朵、一簇簇花儿盛开在枝头上,开在山谷。Bougainvilleas bloom in clusters on the branches and in the valleys. This is a true portrayal of “Meihailing”, the garden of Xiamen.
Bougainvillea is the city flower of Xiamen. Every deep winter month, along the roadsides, in parks and many shady places, the blooming bougainvilleas are just like the azaleas covering the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River in March. At this time and place, it is not spring, but it is more charming than spring.


More than 10,000 bougainvillea plants of over 50 varieties are planted in Meihailing. Here, many rare varieties of bougainvilleas on weekdays are really eye – opening, such as Mandarin Duck Cherry Blossom Bougainvillea, Variegated Tower Bougainvillea, Lemon Yellow Bougainvillea, Golden – leaf Purple – flower Bougainvillea, etc.


Opening hours: Open 24 hours a day, throughout the year
