Located in Dongwang Village, Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province, lies a world-class rapeseed flower sea landscape that allows travelers from around the globe to admire the breathtaking view of an endless golden sea of flowers. Since rapeseed flowers in Jiangsu typically bloom at the end of February, the best time to visit Dongwang Village is around mid-April, making it one of China’s most popular tourist destinations during the Qingming Festival holiday.

Rapeseed, used for making butter and biofuel, is a traditional agricultural activity dating back to ancient times. Rapeseed farming is not only found in Jiangsu Province but also widespread across other regions of China such as Yunnan, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Sichuan. This has made China the world’s second-largest producer of rapeseed.

The main highlight of Dongwang Village lies in its unique terrain. The rapeseed fields are actually formed by thousands of small islands created by numerous rivers and lakes, prompting locals to name the area the "Qiandao Rapeseed Flower Scenic Area" (Thousand Island Rapeseed Flower Area). Tourists here can take boat rides or stroll along riverside paths to experience the unique golden sea of rapeseed flowers in Dongwang Village.
