With various kinds and marvelous colors, the Luoyang Peony enjoys the honors as "King of the Flower Kingdom" or "Luoyang Peony Ranking the First under Heaven". The flower now has more than 500 species and blooms in mid-April. During the annual Peony Festival (April 15- 25^th), people from all over the country meet in Luoyang to see the peonies and so the city livens up with a spectacle of seas of flowers and tides of people. The most famous place to view and admire the Luoyang Peony is Wangcheng Park. Located on both banks of Jian River on Zhongzhou Road, Wangcheng Park gains its name only because it is now on the relics of the Imperial City in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Covering an area of 67 hectares, it is the largest comprehensive park in Luoyang. There is a zoo, peony yards, swimming pools and an underground exhibition room of the Han Tomb. In the peony yards on both sides of Jian River, there are thousands of rare and precious peonies named"Yellow Yao "and "Purple Wei". These two peony yards become the main spots of the annual peony fair. The ancient architectural complex in the western part of the park fully displays the lingering charm of the Zhou's architectural style. The tablet named Hetu and Luoshu is another attractive spot there. Hetu and Luoshu is a famous legend of ancient Chinese civilization. Some 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, a horse with a picture-scroll named Hetu on its back sprang out of the Yellow River, and an immortal turtle with a book named Luoshu on its back swam in the Luo River. Later, Fuxi, known as the ancestor of Chinese, deducted the Eight Diagrams of Yin and yang (the positive and negative) and thus the universe was divided into two, the Heaven and the Earth. However, according to the doctrine of Luoshu, Dayu, the first king of the Chinese Nation, drew up a constitution named "Hong Fan Jiu Chou" to rule the country and from then on began the Chinese civilization. So during every Pure Brightness Festival-held in the 5th of the 24 solar terms, personages of various circles gather here to worship their common ancestors. Opening Hours: 05:00 - 20:00 Bus routes: 4, 9, 11, 50,101, 102, 103
