Basking under the sun in Meidaizhao in Tumd Right Banner, Baotou, in Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is a tourist must-see in the form of a veritable sea of flowers.

The cornucopia of color is located at a site known as Rainbow Color Ground, which covers a total area of 2,000 hectares.

Enthusiasts of flower power can go and take in the spectacle, which is conveniently located, north on the Beijing-Tibet highway and bordering the southern part of national highway 110.

Boasting 16,000 fine flowers -- including begonias, magnolias and rhododendrons, as well as 10,000 various trees – it has become the favorite place for many, both from home and abroad, to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Lush purple, red, yellow and white flowers interlace with each other, forming a rainbow-color living sea of flowers that stands before the grandness of Daqing Mountain in the distance – proving to be an irresistible draw for visitors to come and take pictures.

“A weekend trip to enjoy such fantastic flowers is a wonderful plan for my family”, said a visitor from Hohhot, capital of Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
