In the season of blooming flowers, the national beauty and heavenly fragrance of peonies always come late, but they still claim the crown among all flowers. May is the perfect time to enjoy peonies, and you can admire them without leaving Dalian. Pictured are the blooming peonies at Dalian Huayun Peony Garden.
Currently, the garden has planted 320,000 peony flowers in nine color systems, 110 century-old peony trees, over 800 peony varieties, and the garden's treasure: the Purple Spotted Peony King, first planted in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, over 500 years ago. Pictured is one of the century-old peonies at Dalian Huayun Peony Garden.
