The Hanjiang Green Valley is an excellent destination for relaxation and fun.
Reporters have learned that the scenic area is located in Yunyang District, Shiyan City, covering a total area of about 9,100 acres. It is a green industry experience zone integrating ecology, livability, leisure, and recreation. The park has planted over 300 varieties of chrysanthemums and features three major themed gardens: the Chrysanthemum Expo Garden, the South-to-North Water Diversion Theme Garden, and the Premium Chrysanthemum Exhibition. In particular, the chrysanthemum festival at Hanjiang Green Valley attracts chrysanthemum enthusiasts from all over the country.
It is reported that the chrysanthemums in the park are distributed across three main exhibition areas: the Chrysanthemum Expo Garden, the South-to-North Water Diversion Theme Garden, and the Premium Chrysanthemum Exhibition.
