(250703) -- HEZE, July 3, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Visitors pose for photos at a peony garden in Heze City, east China's Shandong Province, April 8, 2025. The Yellow River, which flows through Heze, not only shapes the hallmark of the city in central China, but also nurtures the peonies with beauty and fragrance, creating a flower city with water charm.
As the "peony capital of China", the peony planting in Heze can be traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties (581-907). At present, the city has bred 1,308 varieties of peonies. (Xinhua/Guo Xulei)
