Luoyang is renowned as the city of peony. The city has long been famous for its beautiful peony flowers. Peony has been called the King of Flowers for its gorgeous charm and unbelievable beauty. The Flower is a symbol of prosperity and wealth in China. Ancient Chinese poets once compared peony with the beautiful and elegant ladies and thought the two were equally pleasant to the eye.

However, peony is only the tip of the iceberg. Luoyang is well known but because of its long history and profound culture.
