‘Lush, vibrant, truly beautiful’ - Sea of blooms draws crowds to peony gardens in northern China

"Hundreds of visitors poured into the peony garden in Fengfeng Mining District on Saturday, as more than 300,000 flowers reached peak bloom, transforming the landscape into a vibrant display of spring colour. Footage shows steady streams of visitors walking through sweeping fields of pink, yellow and red blossoms in Yijing Town, many stopping for photos among the densely planted rows. “The flowers here are especially lush, vibrant, and truly beautiful. Being here lets me experience spring up close and enjoy the stunning scenery of a sea of flowers,” said visitor He, who shows up at the garden every year. Inside the premium viewing area, which features nine colour categories and ten major flower forms, over 100 varieties such as Zhaofen, Haihuang, Huawang and Qingtianfen are on display. The blossoms range from fiery red to cloud-like pink and snow-white, blending together like a vibrant tapestry across the garden. “I’ve also visited peony gardens in other places, but compared with the Fengfeng Peony Garden in Handan, the difference is quite clear,” He added, saying that “The peonies here cover a larger area and there are many more of them, including a lot of rare varieties.” Another first-time visitor added that the garden’s reputation had drawn them to make a special trip, calling the experience ‘worth the visit.’ According to the staff, the peonies in the garden are now 11 years old. Through careful cultivation and maintenance, each plant produces full buds, with some individual plants blooming more than 20 flowers at once. To improve the visitor experience, the park has built dedicated walking paths allowing close-up viewing of the flowers, along with landscaped leisure areas including a wisteria corridor and themed photo walls. Visitors can rest, take photos, and immerse themselves in the sea of blossoms as they move through the garden. With its large-scale plantings and carefully designed scenery, the Fengfeng peony garden has become a popular seasonal destination, offering a vivid encounter with spring in full bloom."
