The city of Shenzhen has blossomed into a lively mosaic of hues, extending a warm welcome to flower lovers attending the 2024 Shenzhen Rose Show.

The exhibition featuring Chinese roses commences this Friday and will continue through March 17. It is arranged with a principal location at Shenzhen Renmin Park in Luohu District and subvenues at Honey Park in Futian, Songgang Rose Garden in Bao'an, Qinghu Cultural Park in Longhua, and Kaiming Park in Guangming.

Xu Jingjing, director of the Renmin Park management office, remarked, “By staging the show across five parks, we are broadening the involvement of various districts, and concurrently giving the community more chances to revel in the beauty of the flowers.”

At the main venue, Renmin Park's natural ecological features are leveraged to showcase an impressive assortment of over 300 Chinese rose species. These can be admired at the principal entrances, within the dedicated rose garden, and by the meandering streams. Additionally, attendees can enjoy a collection of exquisite potted rose bonsais on exhibit. The park offers a substantial viewing space spanning 23,300 square meters.

The rose celebration offers more than just a visual feast of fresh blooms — it's a vibrant center of cultural happenings. Events planned include a Qipao exhibition, a fair featuring traditional Chinese cultural artifacts, and a fashionable marketplace among other diversions that promise to encapsulate a blend of historic customs and modern lifestyle essences.

Renmin Park invites visitors from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. However, the venue's parking lot will be closed for the duration of the rose show. Additional details about the event can be accessed via the WeChat account “美丽深圳” (mlszgzh).
