Peonies in Luoyang City in central China's Henan Province have reached their peak bloom period. Colorful and showy flowers are blossoming elegantly, attracting people to stop and snap a few pictures.

Luoyang City is known as the "City of Peonies" thanks to its exquisite collection of the flower that has been famous since the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Every April when the peonies are in full bloom, Luoyang City holds events centered around the flowers to attract tourists.
