Among the blooms are rare varieties, including a blue chrysanthemum and one that contains green, yellow, pink, red and blue in one flower.

The park's Honghua Avenue is special treat to walk along. It's flanked on both sides by chrysanthemums.

There are also displays of chrysanthemums in pots, configured into the shapes of elephants, peacocks, rhinos, tigers and pandas.

Modern agricultural techniques now prolong the bloom season up to an extra month.
