It's not that you can't see lavender outside of Provence, France, but the area around Guangzhou and Foshan offers better value for money

After spending too much time in the city's hustle and bustle, you increasingly long for a sea of flowers where your soul can rest. Unexpectedly, such a romantic purple sea of flowers can also be found in Guangdong. Recently, I stumbled upon the Verbena flower sea at Zhongshan Talent Park and was instantly captivated by that dreamlike purple world. Now, I can't wait to share this springtime exclusive romantic guide with everyone! This is a sea of blooming Verbena, a seemingly ordinary little flower that plays the role of a vampire slayer in the American TV series "The Vampire Diaries," very sacred and elegant!
