Flowers such as tulips and rapeseed are blooming across China, attracting a large number of tourists looking to enjoy the early spring scenery.

Among these, Taiziwan Park in Hangzhou city of Zhejiang province hosts an annual tulip flower exhibition from March 8 to April 14, becoming a major attraction for locals and tourists. This year, the event imported 400,000 tulip bulbs, covering a planting area of 8,000 square meters.

In Chongqing's Tongnan district, 20,000 hectares of rapeseed flowers are in bloom. Recognized in 2022 as a national-level rapeseed breeding area, Tongnan leverages its rapeseed flower economy to boost farmers' income and rural revitalization through integrated agriculture and tourism.
