Tulips everywhere. The Tulip Festival started in 1988 when a group started a flower and greenery campaign in the city.
|
|
The tulip fields cover about 23,000 sq. meters. These are originally rice paddies. The tulips are grown when the rice paddies are not used during Nov.-May.

|
Quite overwhelming with about 360,000 tulip bulbs.
