Location & Accessibility

Chang'An Flower Valley is tucked inside the Xi'an World Horticultural Expo Park, located in the Chanba Ecological District of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. To get there, you can take the metro to Shiyuan Road Station (Line 3) and then hop on a short taxi ride—just mention “Xi'an Shiboyuan” to the driver. If you’re driving, plug the address “Shibo Avenue, Xi'an World Horticultural Expo” into your GPS, and you’ll spot the entrance near the iconic Big Goose Pagoda-inspired architecture.

Natural Landscape: A Colorful Diamond Sea

This place is literally a flower paradise! Spanning 66,000 square meters, Chang'An Flower Valley is divided into 111 diamond-shaped plots, each filled with vibrant blooms. Over 70 flower species are carefully planted to match the “colors of the diamonds,” creating a rainbow-like effect. Walking through the valley feels like stepping into a living painting—every turn offers a new burst of pink, purple, yellow, or red. The best part? The flowers change with the seasons, so each visit feels fresh.

What makes Chang'An Flower Valley special isn’t just the flowers—it’s the creative layout. Each diamond-shaped area is like a tiny garden, designed to mimic a giant, colorful gem. Locals say the shape reflects traditional Chinese motifs, but here, it’s all about the modern “wow” factor. You’ll also find hidden paths and wooden bridges that let you dive deeper into the floral sea without stepping on the plants.
