Luoyang: city of Peonies

Luoyang, in western Henan Province, situated on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River ( Huanghe ), China. It was founded in 1200 BC. Luoyang was capital of 13 dynasties until Northern Song Dynasty in the 10th century AD. For centuries it languished and is hard to imagine that Luoyang was once the center of the Chinese world and home to over 1300 Buddhist temples. Today, Luoyang is both historic and rich in traditional culture and a new industrial city

  • Festival des Pivoines: Luoyang (Chine)

  • Luoyang Peony Festival On the day of Sept. 21, 1982, Luoyang People's Congress approved the decision of entitling peony as the city-flower, and holding a peony festival in every April from April 15 to April 25

  • Le 20ème Festival de la Pivoine de Luoyang s’ouvrira le 10 avril.La pivoine est une fleur noble qualifiée de « la reine des fleurs ». Selon une légende, lors de sa promenade dans le jardin impérial à Chang’an, aujourd’hui Xi’an, l’impératrice de la dynastie des Tang Wu Zetian (624-705) ordonna que cent fleurs s’épanouissent en même temps en une nuit en plein hiver. Sur son ordre, toutes les fleurs s’ouvrirent, sauf la pivoine. Furieuse, Wu Zetian décida de dégrader la pivoine en la faisant transférer à Luoyang. Dès lors, des pivoines fleurissent partout à Luoyang. Jusqu’ici, on a formé plus de 800 variétés de pivoines avec une superficie totale de 500 hectares. Durant les 19 précédents festivals, plus de 40 millions de visiteurs chinois et étrangers ont admiré les pivoines de Luoyang
