Adrenaline surges through my entire body like the sluices being opened on the Three Gorges Dam. I have a hard time bringing my weak knees to put one foot in front of the other as I walk across the tarmac to the small helicopter.

And it is true, for every year, thousands of tourists to this unique part of the word gasp in amazement at the spectacular beauty of countless flowers seemingly arranged for the exclusive viewing pleasure of all visitors.
