Peony is known as the "national flower" and blooms from April to May. During the flowering period, the fragrance of peony fills the air everywhere in Beijing, outlining a colorful spring painting.
There are many varieties of peonies in Beijing, including classic varieties such as Yaohuang, Weizi, and Zhaofen. Yao Huang is like a golden robe, with bright colors, showing the royal nobility; Wei Zi, with its deep and rich purple, exudes an elegant and noble temperament; Zhao Fen is tender and delicate, with layers of petals, just like a shy girl, very charming.
When the peony flowers bloom every year, whether in the flower beds of the park or in the corners of the garden, the peony flowers bloom wantonly, with huge flowers hanging on the branches, competing for beauty. The surrounding quaint pavilions and the delicate peonies complement each other, making people feel as if they have traveled back to ancient times. It is a double feast of vision and smell.
