Shakou town, Yingde of Qingyuan city, Guangdong province

Time to See: from early February to end of April

Lying in a remote town of China's southern Guangdong province, the only rape flower-themed tourist attraction is part of the Huashui Mountain nature reserve inside the Yingde National Forrest Park.

As many as 3,000 acres of land are scattered with rape plants, creating a striking scene in Guangdong province. Before 2005, local residents used to plant rape for cooking oil, and since then the beautiful flowers have developed into a tourist attraction.
