No need to visit Netherlands to see tulips

Chinese people eager to enjoy the beauty of tulips have another destination that's closer to home than the Netherlands — Jinyuan county in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

Currently, tens of thousands of tulips and daffodils are blossoming in Migang village in Jinyuan. Views for tourists are expected to last until the end of May.

As the first experimental area for poverty alleviation through tourism in China, Jinyuan county joined hands with Ningxia University in introducing tulip varieties from the Netherlands and daffodils from other parts of Europe to develop local flower industry and tourism.
