Sisters [DoubleHearts], listen to me! This "Fairy’s Back Garden" hidden in the suburbs of Chengdu lets you shoot stunning photos that will blow up your social feed for just about 50 RMB per person! As a "flower fanatic blogger" who visits five times a year, here’s a detailed guide to help you avoid crowds and make the most of Manhua Manor’s beauty on a budget!

1. Attraction Overview: The "Little Provence" just 1 hour from downtown
Why visit? 600 acres of flower sea, over 5,000 varieties of precious flowers, changing with the seasons! Spring brings tulips and cherry blossom rain, summer has roses and hydrangeas, autumn features pink muhly grass clouds, and winter offers a sea of violets—365 days of oil painting scenes.

Real experience: "Standing on the glass bridge overlooking the entire flower sea, I suddenly understood the meaning of ‘romantic to death’!"

2. Best Blooming Period + Suggested Visit Duration
📅 Year-round Flower Bloom Guide (accurate to the month!):
Mid-March to Mid-April: Top tulips + cherry blossoms! 3 million flowers form a rainbow carpet, paired with a purple train 🚂 and Japanese-style wooden houses for Kyoto vibes.
April to May: Rose maze 🌹! European arches + heart installations, a must for couples.
September to October: Pink muhly grass! A whole pink mist, perfect for fairy-like photos in white dresses.
⏰ Suggested duration: 3-4 hours for pure photography; 1 full day if with kids or friends (many activities inside).
✨ Golden time: After 4 PM! The sunset backlight shines through petals, even your hair glows~

4. Must-Check Photo Spots: 100% photo success locations
