Ancient jujube forest flourishes at Ningxia park

A natural park with one of the world's largest and oldest jujube forests allows residents in Lingwu, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, to enjoy pastoral scenery while tickling their taste buds.

Its broad collection of jujube trees and its germplasm resource bank also contribute to scientific research and better preservation of the plant.

Built in 2009, the Lingwu World Jujube Trees Expo Park has 4,167 jujube trees. About 62 percent of them are ancient, with the oldest being 277 years old.
