Flower fields seen in hot-spring town, central Yunnan

Pictures taken on October 25 show continuous flower fields in the distinct tourist town of hot springs, central Yunnan’s Anning City. The flower varieties, including chrysanthemums, oil-seed flowers, sunflowers, roses and more, invited in flower admirers. 

Another reason to visit the destination is that the Anning hot spring town offers tourists free parking places, so that they can fully dip themselves into the hot springs or flower fields during weekends or vacations. 

Anning is a model city for sound ecology and rural tourism in Yunnan. As an approach to improve its ecology and living environment, the city has planted flowers and other vegetations in bulk over the years.

And the tourist town of hot springs is also a popular site for hosting international sports events, such as the 2019 Kunming Tennis Open and the coming Kunming International Tennis Tournament.
