Dreaming back to the divine capital, peonies bloom in competition at the Wangcheng Park National Trend Festival

📍Detailed address: Wangcheng Park in Luoyang is located at No. 312 Zhongzhou Middle Road, Xigong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province 🌟Highlights: The highlight of the Peony Fairy statue in Luoyang Wangcheng Park lies in its historical and cultural value. The story of the Peony Fairy is related to Empress Wu Zetian. Legend has it that Wu Zetian issued an edict one winter, ordering all flowers to bloom. All flowers dared not disobey and bloomed one after another, but only the peony did not fear power and delayed blooming. Enraged, Wu Zetian banished the peony from Chang'an and demoted it to Luoyang. Unexpectedly, 'Luoyang's land is most suitable for flowers, and the peony is especially extraordinary in the world,' and Luoyang's peonies became renowned for their large size, bright colors, beautiful shapes, and strong fragrance.
