More than 200,000 tulips recently sprouted up at Seyuan Garden in Nantong, local media outlets reported.

The seeds were planted in mid-December 2020 and are expected to start blooming in early spring for the garden's 13th tulips expo, which will run from March 10 to May 31.

Built in 1924, Seyuan is where Zhang Jian, a well-known local business magnate and leading academic in modern China, is buried.

The garden is home to more than 10,000 types of rare trees from over 200 species.
