| This article based on three farmhouse tourism sceneries-"five golden flowers" in Sansheng County, agricultural villages in Pi County, North Lake Park in Chengdu, using principles and methods of ecology, sociology, tourism science and basic statistics, expored the plant community character and homogenization, investigated the importance of plant landscape by surveying the visitors in order to detect the requirement of different populations for the plant landscape. We found:(1)The typical plant species in agritainment farmhouse in Chengdu contain 56 tree species,83 shrub species and118 herbaceous species, summed up 257 species which belongs to 184 genus and 91 families. The most species (≥7 species) in three plots belongs to Rosaceae, Compositae, Gramineae and Oleaceae. The trees with higher occurence frequency are Cinnamomum japonica, Osmanthus fragrans, Eriobotrya japonica, Ficus viren; high frequency shrubs are Camellia japomica, Loropetalum chinense, Rhododendron sp., Rhapis excelsa, Fatsia japonica; the high frequency herbs are Stellariamedia sp., Youngia japonica, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Gnaphalium affine, Cardamine hirsute, Ophiopogon bodinieri etc..(2) There were mean 5.1±2.47 (N=60) species of configuration tree in Chengdu typical farmhouse and 5.25±2.34 (N=12),4.65±2.3 (N=20),5.36±2.68 (N=28) species respectively in North Lake Park in Chengdu, agricultural villages in Pi County, "five golden flowers" in Sansheng County. More than 50% of tree species were shared by three plots or two sites. There were mean 8.77±3.41 (N=60) species of configuration shrub in Chengdu typical farmhouse and respectively 7.83±4.13 (N=12),10.25±2.69 (N=20), 8.11±3.29 (N=28)species in North Lake Park in Chengdu, agricultural villages in Pi County and "five golden flowers" in Sansheng County. More than 55% of tree species were shared by three plots or two sites.There were mean 11.83±6.75 (N=60) species of configuration shrub in Chengdu typical farmhouse and respectively 13.92±10.05 (N=12), 9.7±3.61 (N=20),12.46±6.59(N=28) species in North Lake Park in Chengdu, agricultural villages in Pi County and "five golden flowers" in Sansheng County. More than 58% of tree species were shared by three plots or two sites. The result showed that the plant composition is highly similiar which indicated that there is strong homogenization phenomenon in plant landscape.(3) Using AHP method, we analyzed 445 questionnaires and calculated the weight assignment of six factors which had important impact on the Agritainment Tour. The order of the weight of factors are:health condition> service quality> landscape plant> flavor dining> transportation> entertainment, suggest that health condition is the most significant factor affected agritainment. Through correlation analysis showed there were no significant relationships between the plant landscape and tourist characteristics (gender, age, education, etc.). Looking from the age point of view, adolescents (18 years of age) and older tourists (46 years) demand more strong for landscape plants, middle-aged (18-45 years old) demand less for the plant landscape. Looking from the gender point of view, male tourists demanded more than female.visitors to the requirements of landscape plants than women. Looking from the monthly income point of view, tourists with monthly income between 4,000-5,000 yuan demanded more for landscape plants. Viewing from the level of education, highly educated visitors make more emphasis on landscape plants. Viewing from Per capita daily consumption, the consumption level and attention to landscape plants is significantly positively related to per capita daily consumption level when the per capita daily consumption level were below100 yuan, but not significantly when more than 100 yuan/day. Over 90% of the proportion of visitors expressed wills to increase consumption when the landscape plant configurations were improved.
