[Zhengzhou Rose Garden | An Underrated Summer Hot Spot! Fewer People, More Flowers, Come Quick!]

"Who says you have to go to Provence for romance? There's a Monet garden hidden in the center of Zhengzhou!" Address: Zhengzhou Rose Garden (No. 80, Xizhan Road, Zhongyuan District) Best time to view the flowers: May–June (Now is the perfect time to catch the full bloom!) Tickets: Free! Free! Free! (Important things must be said three times) Photo Tips 1. The rainbow rose wall at the South Gate entrance is amazing! Wear a light-colored dress for an oil painting effect. 2. The heart-shaped flower corridor next to the central fountain is less crowded and great for photos. The light and shadow at 4pm come with a soft focus. 3. Hidden spot: Walk 200m east to the white pavilion for an aerial view of the flower sea. Outfit Suggestions Recommended: White/light purple dress + straw bag (a perfect color combination with roses) Hanfu lovers must come! The height of the flowers is perfect for taking twirling photos in a Qi Yao Ru skirt. Useful Tips The park is not big, but it is full of flowers! It is recommended to set aside 2 hours to stroll around. Remember to bring mosquito repellent! There are mosquitoes under the trees. Go before 9am or on a weekday to have the entire flower sea to yourself. "The moment when 10,000 roses bloom at the same time, even the wind is sweet." Rose Garden
