Visitors to Maoshui village in Sichuan province are greeted by fields of roses stretching 268 hectares in every direction.
"Roses are the symbol of romance to many, but my affair with roses was accidental," said village head Chen Wanghui, 44.
"Planting roses is simply a way to lift locals out of poverty."
