Hollyhocks are flowers that symbolize glory and prosperity. In imperial palaces and the gardens of wealthy families, their absence would make it difficult to achieve a truly magnificent and splendid beauty. To admire the grandeur of hollyhock seas, head to Tianzhong, Changhua! The annual Tianzhong Hollyhock Sea Art Festival has kicked off. In addition to the stunning hollyhock maze, there are also romantic bald cypress trees, as well as DIY activities such as hand-thrown pottery and wood-fired bread baking—perfect for great photos and fun.
Hollyhocks, also known as "One-Zhang Red," have flowers as lovely as roses but bloom even more abundantly, reaching heights of one to two meters. Their bold presence replaces delicacy, and they are usually planted in garden corners or along fences to serve as screens. The tall, gorgeous hollyhock blossoms exude an air of grandeur. With their pink, red, and peach hues, strolling through the vast flower sea heals the heart.

In addition to the flower sea, the Tianzhong Hollyhock Sea Art Festival also offers hands-on experiences such as pottery throwing and painted doll DIYs. Wood-fired bread baking requires advance reservation for both individuals and groups. Upon entering the park, visitors will receive a “Lucky Unfalling Egg” symbolizing good fortune for the Year of the Rooster. Why not visit the Tianzhong flower sea on a weekend to admire the noble and captivating presence of One-Zhang Red?
