Once the imperial capital of 13 dynasties, Luoyang is home to the country's best peony trees. The flower was preferred by royal families for its luxuriant blossoms, which symbolize prosperity and wealth.

The "city of peonies" holds an annual festival to celebrate the blooms. This year's event kicked off earlier in April.
