The main venue of Luoyang's Peony Culture Festival, built on the ruins of the Eastern Zhou royal city. It has a wide variety of peonies, and the crowds during bloom season are like a sea.
Wangcheng Park is on Zhongzhou Middle Road in Xigong District and takes its name from being built on the ruins of the Eastern Zhou royal city.
