Travel tips: Sites of spring in China (16)

Oilseed rape flowers

Oilseed rape was originally grown in China purely for commercial not aesthetic reasons. One of the most significant oil crops in China, it is widely distributed in the middle and east of the country. But in recent years, many cities and counties have been turning to oilseed for the ornamental value of its vivid yellow flowers. Trips to seas of oilseed blooms are among the most popular spring outings in China.

Shanghai and neighboring areas

Fengxian District is Shanghai's most popular oilseed rape site. After roaming around the golden fields, visitors can go to nearby villages and sample some fresh country fare.

Places such as Tongli and Xinghua in Jiangsu Province, also promote spectacular fields of oilseed as tourism attractions.
