Yellow fields of ancient city

The breathtaking scenery of rapeseed flowers in Hanzhong has seldom failed to pack in travelers from far and wide over the years.

The city in the south of Northwest China's Shaanxi province is home to more than 60 square kilometers of rapeseed flower fields that create splendid scenery.

This year, the local government is holding the canola flower tourism and culture festival, an annual fair, which runs through May 1. About 50 observation spots have been designed for tourists and 29 visiting routes have been created throughout the city to ensure the best possible views of the spring landscape.
