Harbin Provence Lavender Farm
Provence is birthplace of world famous lavender, located in south of France, Provencal lavender is also synonymous with beauty and romance.
In summer of 2020, my mother and I also made a romantic trip to a Provencal lavender estate, but this beautiful Provencal lavender estate is not far from our Harbin.
Provence Lavender Manor Scenic Spot is located on 164-kilometer extension of Changjiang Road in Xiangfang District of Harbin City. This is first lavender manor in northeast China built in recent years. I have been there three times. nice place, so I chose a sunny day and took my mother to play.
This time I took my 93-year-old mother with me on trip, and I did my homework. Considering that my mother, although she can walk on her own, is already old. For convenience of her travels I bought a folding wheelchair online. I usually put my wheelchair in back seat of my car. When I take my mother to play, wheelchair helps me. I don't have to worry about places I can't get to. With exception of mountaineering, other things are just too convenient.
Due to impact of epidemic, many tourist attractions in Harbin are out of service, I contacted homestead by phone in advance, and after receiving a clear notice of opening of park, I prepared various documents and prepared food. Mom is leaving.
It was almost noon when I arrived at estate, and sun was shining brightly. Since I am a medical staff, tickets are free, and my mother's old age card is also free. I helped my mother take pictures at gates of estate.
The estate, with a radius of 1200 mu, is planted with almost 50 varieties of flowers, mainly lavender and sage, and layout of garden does not change much every year. As soon as I arrived at homestead, I saw a sea of colorful lavender flowers, it was just a sea of flowers and a world of aromatherapy.
Due to epidemic, there were not many people in huge estate, which only gave us a chance to have a good time.
Take a sightseeing battery car equipped with a homestead. Having left at first picturesque place, I began to walk to different picturesque places on foot with my mother. My mom's biggest advantage is that she is obedient and cooperative when taking pictures. We stop every time we visit a scenic spot. I went down for a while to rest and ate some of fruit and food I had brought. It was also supposed to reduce burden. I traveled all over estate without knowing it. I was also very excited, pushing my mother in a wheelchair without feeling too tired.
Before epidemic, estate had a 10,000-meter-long food court, which attracted famous snacks from all over country to settle in. The previous few times we've been here, we just couldn't get close to him. This time, all stores were closed and only soft drinks and soft drinks were sold, kiosk is still open, and my mother and I bought ice cream, tasting it, slowly admiring patchwork beauty of whole estate.
They say that traveling is "from a place where you are bored to a place where others are bored." We spent a lot of money to see lavender farms in France. If we could travel through beautiful landscapes around us, that would be amazing.
In homestead, you can enjoy romance of sea of lavender flowers, an interesting children's paradise, sacred and solemn white wedding chapel of lovers, wooden Dutch windmill and pure white giant "LOVE" among tens of thousands of letter-shaped flowers, sit on 20-meter windmill a windmill that echoes church and you can enjoy panoramic views of beautiful scenery in park!
There were dark clouds in sky, and we sat on battery car of estate to enjoy panorama of estate for last time. fun music, planning your next trip on earth!
