Recently, Xiyanshan Urban Garden in Xiang'an, covering nearly 200 acres and about 800,000 sunflowers, has ushered in the best viewing period.

The reporter learned that the variety planted in Xiyanshan Urban Pastoral is "Glory Days Sunflower", with a flower disk diameter of more than 20 centimeters, a single-pole type, and a plant height of 1 to 1.3 meters. This variety has thicker leaves, shorter plants, and smaller flower disks, but has remarkable flowering ability. A single plant can bloom dozens of flowers at the same time, and the flowers are shaped like small suns. "The flowering period is expected to last until the middle to late this month. There is still a small patch of sunflowers in the back that have not yet bloomed. Citizens and tourists can enter the park for free to watch." A staff member of the Xiyanshan Urban Pastoral Project Operation Unit told reporters.
In addition to the sea of sunflowers, more than 100 acres of upland rice in the park has also entered its peak growing season and will be harvested around the end of November. The vast rice fields combined with windmills, hot air balloons, etc. form a beautiful pastoral picture. The reporter saw that many tourists were walking along the trail, stopping from time to time to pick up their mobile phones and take beautiful photos.
"This month we will hold a pastoral concert, three fan support meetings, and a Xiangjin Poetry and Wine Cultural Festival here." According to the staff, the park operators will continue to improve and enrich the park's playability and service guarantees, and promote more activities in the park.

In addition, the reporter learned that the 2,000-square-meter sea of sunflowers in Xianyue Park was also in stunning bloom. According to the staff, the golden-label oil sunflower was selected for this flower sea. The plants are tall and straight, the flower disk is huge, the flowers are golden and bright, and they are highly ornamental. The flowering period is expected to last until around the 20th of this month. Citizens and tourists may wish to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to come here to watch and leave splendid memories of Xiamen in autumn.
