Wucun Agricultural Collection｜Check in at the Sea of Hangbaiju Chrysanthemums Hidden in the Ancient Village of Wuzhen

Later, I told everyone I met that the Hangbaiju chrysanthemums at the entrance of the Agricultural Collection were the most romantic thing I saw in Wucun this winter. Winter in Wuzhen hasn’t snowed yet, but everywhere is a "sea of snow" with the "soaring fragrance." 1️⃣ About Hangbaiju Chrysanthemum Hangzhou’s "Longjing Tea" is world-famous, and historically, "Hangbaiju" was once equally renowned. It is one of the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs known as "Zhe Ba Wei." Records of Hangbaiju date back to the Song Dynasty’s "Collection of Chrysanthemums," and by the late Ming Dynasty, the "Supplement to the Book of Agriculture" recorded its cultivation in Tongxiang, stating, "Sweet chrysanthemum is sweet and warm in nature, and long-term use is most beneficial." The cultivation and use of Hangbaiju have a history of over 300 years. 2️⃣ Effects "There are hundreds of chrysanthemum varieties... each with different qualities," and Hangbaiju has always been one of the medicinal varieties, commonly used in medicine and tea. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions its medicinal effects, mainly treating dizziness caused by wind, swelling and pain, dead skin, rheumatism, and promoting blood circulation. It mainly targets symptoms such as headache, dizziness, red eyes, and chest heat. Therefore, people often say chrysanthemum can clear heat and brighten the eyes, soothe the throat with a sweet and refreshing taste, and help calm the mind and relieve irritability. 3️⃣ Profile ✅ Scientific name: Chrysanthemum ✅ Other names: Little White Chrysanthemum, Little Tanghuang, Chuju, White Chrysanthemum, Green Peony ✅ Family: Asteraceae, Genus Chrysanthemum ✅ Origin: Tongxiang, Zhejiang ✅ Fragrance characteristics: fresh, sweet aroma 4️⃣ Check-in Guide 📍 Main entrance of Wucun Agricultural Collection (next to Rose Restaurant) ⏰ Viewing period: Early December to mid-December Mom, this is Wucun Agricultural Collection.
