Mailing, Xizang: Rare Yellow Peonies in Their Annual Full Bloom
The 18th Yellow Peony Tibetan Medicine Culture and Tourism Festival opened on May 28 in Mailing City, Nyingchi, Xizang.
As the world’s only concentrated distribution area of wild large-flowered yellow peonies, Mailing experiences its annual peak flowering season in May.
Stretching across the hillsides, the golden sea of flowers sets off the snow-capped mountains, forests and canyons in a breathtaking plateau tableau.
As an important birthplace of Tibetan medicine culture, Mailing is also using this festival to showcase the unique charm of its millennium-old Tibetan medicine heritage to visitors and to advance the deep integration of “Tibetan medicine and tourism.”
