March to April for rape flowers and peach flowers

Rape flowers are the most common crop found in the countryside. Patches of rapes are planted in the early spring and late March and April. These seeded fields are covered with bright yellow flowers giving off a fresh aroma and tempting the busy bees flying among them.

Peach trees' green leaves tenderly hold the pink flowers, luring bees lingering among the sweet flower cores.

Recommended places: Countryside for rape flowers; Hucheng River, Motou Peach Flower Forest for peach flowers

April to May for tulips

About 10,000 tulips in Jindao Ecological Park will be in full bloom. Strolling along the flower avenue is a great way for people to take a break from their busy lives.
