Spring’s grand finale is here! 🌸 Vibrant peonies are stealing the spotlight at Beijing Garden Expo in Fengtai District, where thousands of blossoms have transformed the park into a pastel paradise. Visitors are flocking to snap photos and soak in the capital’s floral magic before summer kicks in.
These extravagant flowers aren’t just Insta-worthy—they’re cultural icons. Known as China’s "flower of wealth and honor" for over 1,500 years, peonies symbolize prosperity and elegance. On April 23, Beijing launched a citywide Peony Cultural Festival across 17 parks, showcasing 800+ peony varieties. Think themed tours, art exhibitions, and creative merch blending nature with trendy design. 🎨🌿
With its mix of history and aesthetics, the festival highlights how traditional gardens are reinventing themselves for Gen-Z travelers. Ready to join the bloom brigade? Grab your camera—the petals wait for no one! 📸🌆
