A garden dedicated to peonies built on the Sui-Tang city ruins; the main venue of the China Luoyang Peony Culture Festival, held since 1983. Peonies in nine color groups bloom together, with famous cultivar plots such as "Yao Huang" (Yao's Yellow) and "Wei Zi" (Wei's Purple) displayed in concentration; the illuminated night peony viewing is distinctive—early to mid-April is the best viewing window.
