Location: West of Yiwu City, near the Yiwu International Expo Center, Zhejiang Province After enjoying the calm of Yiwu’s parks, I decided to explore the Yiwu Botanical Garden—a spacious, beautifully maintained green space that offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s pace. Walking through winding paths lined with colorful flowers and towering trees, I felt like I had stepped into a living painting. The garden is thoughtfully arranged with themed sections showcasing native plants, exotic blooms, and serene water features. It was a perfect spot for a slow, contemplative walk. I especially enjoyed the butterfly garden, where delicate wings fluttered all around, and the small pond filled with blooming lotus flowers. Along the way, benches and shaded gazebos offered restful spots to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Locals and visitors alike were strolling or simply relaxing, soaking up the fresh air. The garden felt like a quiet oasis—ideal for nature lovers and anyone needing a break from busy streets.

In ancient Greek mythology, the name of the rainbow goddess is Iris. On earth, the iris flower is also called Iris. In the paintings of famous artists such as Monet and Van Gogh, the iris is a recurring subject. Monet filled his private garden in France with colorful irises. At the turn of spring and summer, the plants are joyous, and in the blink of an eye, it's the peak blooming season for irises. Along the ponds and paddy fields of Yiwu Botanical Garden, clusters of deep blue, light purple, and yellow irises quietly unfold. Each iris, light as a butterfly and elegant as an orchid, appears exceptionally dazzling against the backdrop of lakes and mountains. The blooming period of irises is very short, about 7 days before they wither, so come and admire the splendid beauty of the rainbow goddess. 📍Detailed address: Yiwu Botanical Garden, Zhejiang Province Opening hours: Open all day Ticket price: Free

Speaking of the flowers that best represent autumn, osmanthus and chrysanthemums naturally take the lead. Osmanthus wins in its fragrant aroma, while chrysanthemums win in their colorful and varied forms. This year's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, Yiwu Botanical Garden has become one of the most popular parks in Jinhua City, because there are not only fragrant osmanthus, but also beautiful chrysanthemums. The first Chrysanthemum Art Festival in Yiwu Botanical Garden, themed 'Chrysanthemum Charm Intoxicates the Golden Autumn, the Commercial Capital Plays a Brilliant Chapter', opened on September 29, 2023. 'It is not that I favor chrysanthemums among flowers, but when this flower blooms, there are no more flowers.' In the deep autumn when all flowers are at rest, that touch of prosperity one after another is the most beautiful persistence among flowers.
