Xiangshui Village in the Jinning District of Kunming, Yunnan Province, opened its third Rapeseed Flower Festival on March 2. Nestled amidst mountains and lush forests, the village is home to the Yi ethnic group and boasts over 66 hectares of vibrant rapeseed flowers in full bloom this early spring.
The festival offers city dwellers a refreshing escape from the urban jungle, allowing them to immerse themselves in the serene rural culture of Xiangshui. Visitors can stroll through the golden fields, participate in local cultural activities, and enjoy the picturesque landscapes that make this region a hidden gem in southwest China.
As the rapeseed flowers paint the village in brilliant hues, the festival also highlights the rich traditions of the Yi community, blending natural beauty with cultural heritage. This annual event not only celebrates the blossoming season but also fosters a deeper connection between urban residents and the tranquil countryside.
