My 34 Photographs Of The Holland Flower Park In China

Top-down view of the park taken with my drone. The park looked absolutely stunning from above.

I found so many little places in the park that caught my eye. Here we see a beautiful combination of flowers and tulips!

From high up in the sky to close-ups, I spent days capturing all kinds of different angles. The variety of tulips impressed me. There were so many different kinds of tulips, often mixed with other flowers.

Locals come from all around to dress up and take photos with the flowers.

Lines of tulips carefully planted in combination with interesting landmarks.

Part of the park as seen by drone. You can see the Dutch buildings as a backdrop and the windmill in the foreground. All the lines of flowers are carefully planted in beautiful patterns, which look really spectacular from the sky!

When you spend a long time in such a park, you start to notice all the little details and 'hidden' corners, like the photos above. They kind of remind me of movies like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, which they are probably inspired by.

Of course, I took the macro lens and sometimes went extremely close. Here we see a dew drop on the bottom of a tulip reflecting the tulips around. The photo was flipped upside down, making it look like a glass ball.

The long, curvy rows of tulips look spectacular from the ground. When I visited, most of the park was at its best regarding the tulip bloom, with very similar timing to that in the Netherlands. The climate around Dafeng is quite similar to that of the Netherlands in spring. It can get a little bit warmer, but the tulips come out around the same time: mid-April.

Your text looks great! It effectively communicates your observations about the park's details and their resemblance to settings from movies like "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings."

Tulips in combination with blossoming trees. A true explosion of colour!

Not just inside the park, but outside of it, they built a whole Dutch village called Holland Village, including shops, restaurants, church towers, and even a cinema. Super impressive!

Every day the park was extremely crowded with people enjoying the blooming tulips. It’s always so nice to see how (dutch) flowers around the world spread happiness.

While most of the park was covered by tulips, there were also quite some other flowers. I went out during early mornings a few times to capture the dew drops on the little ones.

It's always so beautiful to see how these flower parks create this 'ball' of happiness!

In evening times most people left, but the park is still very beautiful, with a lot of nice lights and details on the buildings.

The church building, beautifully lit during the evening. Some of the Dutch landmark’s lighting can really learn from the Chinese. The lighting on this was spectacular. As you can see, this building was inspired by the looks of the beautiful Dutch churches.

The variety of tulips planted in combination with greenery and different flowers created some beautiful harmonious color palettes.

You can see the Chinese went to great lengths to replicate the Dutch atmosphere. If I didn't tell you this was China, you would probably think this was a small Dutch village in the countryside.

Of course, they had a real windmill in the park. It's funny that as a photographer, we always try to find that perfect photo of a beautiful tulip field with a windmill in the background. This is different each year as the fields are always slightly different. In Dafeng, they know what people want, and they just put the windmill right there where people want it. The paint is a little over the top for me, but awesome nonetheless.

A crazy replica of the Amsterdam Station, with lighting and everything. Very impressive. When I posted this on my social media, some people thought it was the real thing.

The Chinese know that I like fog! Ha, they are way ahead of us photographers. They use big water humidifiers in a lot of places, spraying water. Not sure if these are actually meant for photos, but I used them to my advantage. They were actually spraying the tulips around them to keep them wet, especially during the warmer days.
