On the scene of Jinsha Sun Festival, the reporter intends to seek for the most suitable place in Chengdu for lovers to take photos.

2018 Jinsha Sun Festival is launched firmly under the theme of Pompeii Ancient City, without exception for garden and floriculture. According to the introduction of the staff, the Pompeii Ancient City, situated by the Mediterranean Sea, was founded in the 6th century BC and included into the territory of the Ancient Roman Empire in 89 BC. Endowed with pleasant climate, fertile land and convenient transportation, it attracted numerous ancient Roman aristocrats with courtyards and villas constructed overwhelmingly. In Pompeii during the ancient Roman period, only the most luxury houses can be found with gardens, giving exclusive access to the most respected and highest-status celebrities, for which numerous garden building sites featured by Greek-Roman style and classic frescos under the theme of gardens are left.

As a result, the Pompeii garden serves as the cultural theme of this Jinsha Flower Market, a key part of Sun Festival. Relying on the distinctive, abundant and various garden themes, Jinsha Flower Market hogs the limelight of large visitors as usual.
