Anning: “Camellia” blooms in rapeseed flowers

As spring comes，blooming rapeseed flowers begin to decorate valleys of Yunnan with golden color. In Shankou Village, central Yunnan’s Anning County, locals have created a blooming “camellia flower” by planting horse beans among rapeseed flowers. Seen from a bird’s eye view, the field is like a scroll of painting, lifelike and beautiful. 

Shankou Village is titled as the demonstration site of Yunnan beautiful villages. To promote the development of rural tourism, the locals began to create the art by planting rapeseed and horse beans in the shape of a camellia flower last October. And this spring, the flower “blooms”.  

Besides Shankou, there are many other places in Yunnan to enjoy the beauty of rapeseed flowers. And the Luoping County in northeast Yunnan is one of them. In the 164,736 acres of rapeseed flowers, hills, villages, trees and roads contrast beautifully with each other, attracting thousands of tourists to the county in every spring.
