The Ten-Thousand-Mu Pomegranate Garden of Yicheng sits on the sunlit slopes of mountain ranges more than ten li west of Yicheng District. Stretching 30 li from east to west and 4 li from north to south, the garden covers an area of 100,000 mu. It houses over 350,000 pomegranate trees of 43 varieties, ranking as China’s largest pomegranate garden and earning it the reputation of "The No.1 Pomegranate Garden Under Heaven".

When pomegranate flowers bloom, visitors stepping into the garden are greeted by a vast sea of blossoms. The red blooms blaze like rosy sunset clouds, while white blossoms cluster like auspicious snowflakes. The rugged, gnarled pomegranate trunks and twisting ancient branches take countless vivid shapes, resembling crouching tigers and coiled dragons. Winding paths lead deep into the groves, where mountain streams murmur delightfully. In golden autumn, heavy fruits hang all over the trees, making this an irresistible tourist destination hard for visitors to leave.

Attractions inside the garden include Qingtan Temple, Yiwang Pavilion, Central Garden, Concubine Quan Mausoleum and Sanjin Academy
