Chapter 643 Xiangshan Villa

• Yarwood, Xiangshan Park.
• This vast park on the western edge of Yarwood spans nearly twenty thousand acres. It’s gorgeous, serene, a real sight for sore eyes. Legend says the slopes are carpeted with apricot trees, and when they bloom, the whole mountain smells rich and sweet—hence the name Xiangshan, Fragrant Mountain.
• Back in the Ming and Qing eras, this spot was a royal retreat, the perfect place to cool off in summer. Time moved on, history settled, and the place took on a quiet, weighty dignity.
