China National Flower Garden
中国国花园 · Zhōngguó Guóhuā Yuán
China’s largest peony garden, on the south bank of the Luo River, with over 1,000 varieties in bloom from early to late April.
No booking needed1.5–2 hours
Tip
Only worth the trip in April. It has more varieties and fewer crowds than Wangcheng Park; late bloomers keep going here after the city-centre peonies fade.
