Hometown of Peony in Shandong, China

Peony in Shandong does not refer to a country or a city, but is a distinctive area in Shandong Province of China known for its peony culture, with Heze City and Jining City in particular as the core. Heze is known as the "Peony Capital of China", with nearly 1,000 years of cultivation history, and is the world's largest peony planting, scientific research and export base, hosting the International Peony Fair in April every year. Jining (including ancient Caozhou) has inherited the peony culture since the Tang Dynasty, and its peony varieties cover nine color families and ten flower types. Peonies in Shandong have both ornamental and economic values, and have given rise to deep-processing industry chains such as peony seed oil and cosmetics, which have become special industrial business cards for rural revitalization.

Cultural heritage and industrial characteristics

Shandong peony culture is deeply integrated into Qilu culture. More than 100 species of century-old plants exist in Heze Peony Park, and famous products cultivated in Zhaolou and Hundred Flowers Garden, such as "Ge Turbine Purple" and "Kunshan Luminous", are renowned both at home and abroad. In terms of industry, peony cultivation in Shandong covers an area of more than 250,000 mu, with an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan, and science and technology empowerment promotes the development of the whole industry chain from ornamental to medicine and food. Every year, the flower sea landscape in spring attracts more than ten million tourists, forming the ecological economic model of "peony + tourism".
