Pucheng Osmanthus Expo Garden
Nanping’s Pucheng County enjoys the reputation of being the “Hometown of Chinese Osmanthus.” With a long history of osmanthus cultivation, the local flowers are large, thick-petaled, bright crimson, and richly fragrant. Locals also call them “osmanthus.” In the golden autumn season, rows of orange-red blossoms burst into bloom, filling the air with the enchanting scent of osmanthus.

The people of Pucheng have a special emotional connection to osmanthus. They have infused this sentiment into their tradition of hospitality with a “cup of osmanthus tea for loved ones,” passed down through generations, and into various forms of art including poetry, dance, opera, calligraphy, painting, paper-cutting, and photography—forming a profound and unique osmanthus culture.
