Guyi Garden
In cooperation with the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Guyi Garden in Jiading District is holding a "Peony Flower Show."
The garden is displaying 2,000 tree peonies, known as mudan in Chinese, and over 500 herbaceous peonies, known as shaoyao in Chinese.
Guyi Garden is famous for its five main features: a bamboo forest, winding brooks, ancient buildings, couplets written on scrolls and artistic sidewalks.
In the coming summer and autumn, there will be more flowers blooming in Guyi Garden such as lotus and sweet osmanthus, so visitors can be surprised by floral beauty in whatever season they visit.
