China National Flower Garden
中国国花园
The largest peony viewing garden on the south bank of the Luo River, with over a thousand varieties. It is one of the core flower-viewing spots during the peony festival.
China National Flower Garden lies on the south bank of the Luo River in Luolong District, covering about 1,000 mu. It is one of the largest and most varied peony specialty gardens in Luoyang, with more than a thousand peony varieties. During bloom it offers famous cultivars, peony fields and night lighting. During the Peony Culture Festival, entry is by ticket (about RMB 50–60, subject to the year's announcement). At other times it is free as a city park. It is not far from Luoyang Museum, so the two can be visited on the same day. Bloom-season weekends draw huge crowds, so weekday mornings are recommended.
Opening hours
Bloom season approx. 07:00–19:00; open all day otherwise
