"Visitors have flocked to Hefei as milk vetch flowers reach full bloom, blanketing the countryside in shades of purple, lavender and pale pink. Drone footage captured on Monday reveals the vast fields, where violet hues merge into the distance, meeting the pale blue sky. Nature enthusiasts stroll through the fields, posing for photos or dancing with their friends. “Every year at this time, people from all over the province come here to have fun,” said visitor Xie Rongfang. “The scale is incredible - it’s far more breathtaking than any flower fields I’ve seen before.” “What’s most touching is the sheer number of visitors here each day - everyone loves these flowers, especially when the morning mist lingers, enhancing their beauty,” Xie added. The blooming season has become a beloved attraction, with many arriving at dawn to capture the fields at their most photogenic. Another visitor, Yu Min, described the experience as both nostalgic and uplifting. “This vast, boundless field rekindled childhood joy,” she said. “My sisters and I had a wonderful time together, and the scenery was truly delightful.” “The sea of flowers stretches as far as the eye can see, like a pink ocean,” she said. “As soon as we stepped into it, we were enveloped by a refreshing fragrance - it felt incredibly relaxing.” Beyond its beauty, vetch plays a key role in Hefei’s sustainable farming practices. Research institutions in the city, including Anhui University, study its application in rice paddies. Farmers combine Chinese milk vetch with fertilisers to enhance soil nitrogen levels and improve rice quality."
