Pedaling through the spring breeze, reveling in the golden rapeseed fields. The blooming rapeseed flowers in Qilin Water Town have drawn large crowds of visitors eager to admire the blossoms and capture the beauty in photographs. The Water Town has become a popular getaway near Qujing, ideal for spring outings, flower appreciation, and cycling. Amid the vast sea of rapeseed flowers, many visitors pause on the winding boardwalks, striking various poses to frame their most picturesque moments with the golden blooms.

According to the Qilin Water Town Scenic Area management, a new development model has been introduced this year. During the fallow period of lotus ponds, rapeseed flowers were planted, not only enriching the city's spring landscape but also boosting rural tourism. This initiative has invigorated local businesses, including farm-to-table dining, countryside lodgings, and fruit-picking experiences, increasing income opportunities for nearby communities. The vast rapeseed fields have quickly become a major attraction, drawing visitors not just from Qujing but also from neighboring Sichuan and Chongqing. On average, the site welcomes nearly 1,000 tourists per day, and so far, over 100,000 visitors have come to admire the blossoms, bringing renewed vitality to the Water Town.

It is reported that after the rapeseed flowers fade, visitors to the Water Town can enjoy space lotus in summer and the colorful metasequoia in autumn. The scenic area is evolving into a year-round destination, with a growing number of visitors.
