Visiting
August has brought a vibrant gift to Guilin Garden Expo Park - endless fields of sulphur cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus Cav.), painting the landscape gold and marking the perfect prelude to autumn.

These orange and yellow blooms resemble tiny suns dancing in the breeze. Already partially open, they'll reach their full splendor by Aug 10, with a 15-day flowering period.

Wander through the flower sea via dedicated paths, where butterflies flit between blossoms, the scent of summer lingers, and every snapshot is a wallpaper-worthy scene.
Spanning 1,200 acres, the expo isn't just about flowers. Its 185-acre water area and 14 city-themed gardens showcase various aspects of Guangxi, from its coastal charm to its rich history. Rent a bike or a golf cart to explore effortlessly, soaking in both the natural beauty and impressive craftsmanship.
