From October to November every year in each fall, a small chrysanthemum exhibition is held along the major streets, and in the parks of Xiaolan. But a "small" one does not mean that it is literally small, for there are about 100 thousand pots of over 1 thousand varieties. Besides, at this time, you not only are lucky enough to enjoy the miens of the illustrious chrysanthemums, but have the fortune to enjoy the chrysanthemum fish balls, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum meats, chrysanthemum-brewed wine, and other chrysanthemum-related dishes at a chrysanthemum banquet.
