A wonderful Peony (牡丹) Culture Month starts in Taiyuan. It is held at Yongzuo Temple (永祚寺). There are seven old peony trees in the temple. They are over 400 years old. Peonies are special cultural treasures in China. They mean good luck and happiness. The oldest peony tree here was planted in the Ming Dynasty.
Every year, lots of people come here to enjoy beautiful peonies. An 82-year-old grandma likes peonies a lot. She often draws nice pictures of peonies here. A young lady wears beautiful Tang-style clothes. She looks great with these lovely flowers.
