Heze hotels like a local.
Heze is Shandong’s peony capital, a practical regional city that becomes all about Caozhou’s flower gardens for a few weeks in spring.

About Heze
Heze, historically called Caozhou, sits in southwest Shandong and works best when you plan around its strengths: peonies in April, county heritage, local food and straightforward rail or road travel. Mudan District is the main urban base for travellers, while the wider prefecture covers two districts and seven counties. Outside flower season, you should expect a modest regional city rather than a polished international break, with buses, taxis and short county trips doing most of the work.
