This year’s Xinshe Flower Sea is designed with the spirit of a celebration, themed “A Field of Blooms, One Heart, One Joy,” featuring 5 hectares of vibrant flower seas. The endless floral landscape is divided into a “Broadcasting Landscape Green Manure Area” dominated by green manure crops such as sunn hemp, sunflowers, and rapeseed, creating a golden, dazzling countryside sea of flowers, as well as an anticipated cosmos area with blossoms swaying in the wind. Another section, the “Landscape Flower Area,” will plant a variety of flowering plants in geometric patterns, using contrasts in depth and elevation to highlight a rich, colorful palette. Winding pathways are interspersed throughout, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of the flower sea from multiple perspectives.
