The 39th Shantou Chrysanthemum Exhibition will run until December 21 (Winter Solstice). More than 40,000 pots of chrysanthemums bloom with the season, weaving streams of color among pavilions and waterside gazebos, enhancing the autumnal atmosphere of this historic city.
Upon entering Zhongshan Park, a group of majestic chrysanthemum horses comes into view. Some are sculptures adorned with flowers, while others are entirely made of chrysanthemums in orange, white, and light purple, all captured in rearing, prancing poses.
Walking further along, a flower-lined path stretches for hundreds of meters. Every snapshot captures a frame brimming with the essence of autumn.
The most enchanting scene awaits in the large playground. Interactive tree installations complement clusters of chrysanthemums, while the playful "Big Eyes" delights visitors with its whimsical appeal. Five themed floral landscapes unfold in succession; as you wander through them, the scenery shifts with each step, and every corner hides a new surprise.
