YUNNAN is well known as the kingdom of flowers, home to 1,500 species including roses, lilies, chrysanthemums, camellias, carnations and orchids.

Located on the highlands at an average of 2,000m above sea level with year-long temperature of around 23°C, adequate sunshine and rain have made it an ideal ground for flower farming.
