Wuhan East Lake Peony Garden, the premier peony garden in the south of the Yangtze River

Wuhan East Lake Peony Garden is located on the south side of Liyuan Square in the East Lake Scenic Area, just a 10-minute drive from the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge No. 2, bordered by the Wuhan Second Ring Road to the west and the vast and beautiful East Lake to the east, serving as an important gateway to the East Lake Scenic Area. Occupying more than 100 acres, the East Lake Peony Garden focuses on peonies, integrating peony history, culture, and garden landscape, fully showcasing the beauty, purity, and tranquility of peonies, and is renowned as the 'Number One Peony Garden in the South of the Yangtze River'. The garden layout within East Lake Peony Garden is exquisitely designed, ingeniously blending the graceful elegance of southern gardens with the majestic grandeur of the 'King of Flowers' from the north. The winding paths lead to secluded spots, the terrain undulates gracefully, the landscape rocks are imposing, the vegetation is lush and layered, and the ponds are shrouded in mist. Scattered throughout are famous cliff inscriptions, peony legend statues, and ancient trees, presenting a splendid array of attractions such as 'National Beauty', 'Fang De', 'Li Chun', 'Forest Square', 'Pond Spring Colors', 'Huanhua Creek', 'Viewing Waterfalls and Listening to Flowers', 'Danxia Welcoming the Sunrise', 'Yao Tai Fairyland', 'Han Shang Hall', 'Peony Fairy', and others. Particularly noteworthy is the 68-ton natural landscape rock located at the main gate plaza, on which Mr. Bai Zhishan, a famous couplet writer, composed an ode, and Mr. Chen Yijing, a 92-year-old calligrapher, inscribed 'Ode to Wuhan East Lake Peony Garden', bearing the history of peonies and the hardships of their relocation from north to south.
