Kaichuang Peony Garden

Kaichuang Peony Garden is the largest peony and tree peony viewing park in northern China. The garden is located west of Qiaozhen Town Government, covering an area of approximately 1,700 acres. It houses nearly 1 million plants of nearly 100 varieties from the four major peony groups across China: Central Plains, Northwest, Jiangnan, and Southwest. Among them, there are over 6,000 peony clusters that are several years old or even over a century old. Based on their blooming periods—early, mid, and late—the garden cultivates peonies in nine color series: black, green, yellow, white, blue, pink, red, purple, and multicolor. Some of the more precious varieties include Yao Huang, Dou Lv, Wei Zi, Da Mo Feng Yun, Wu Long Peng Sheng, Guan Shi Mo Yu, Shou An Hong, Lv Mu Yin Yu, Xue Ta, and Jin Yu Jiao Zhang. The peony blooming season generally lasts from mid-to-late April to early May, while the tree peony season extends from early to mid-May. “Of all flowers, the peony alone deserves the name; when it blooms, the capital goes wild with praise.” Visitors here can not only admire the noble beauty and grand splendor of peonies but also learn about their 1,500-year cultural history.
