What is the city flower of Chengdu?

The city flower of Chengdu is Furong, so Chengdu is also called Furong City and Jincheng, or Rong for short.

1983 On May 26th, the Standing Committee of the Ninth People's Congress of Chengdu decided to officially designate hibiscus as the city flower of Chengdu.

Meng Changjun, the Emperor of Shu after the Five Dynasties, had a concubine named "Mrs. Huarui". She is not only charming, but also likes flowers. One year, she went to the flower market. Among the flowers, she saw clusters of hibiscus flowers rolling in like colorful clouds in the sky, and she especially liked them. In order to win the favor of the beloved princess, Meng Changjun ordered to plant hibiscus in Chengtou, Chengdu. After Meng Chang's Greentown Project was completed, she and Mrs. Huarui boarded the tower together and saw dozens of colorful hibiscus flowers in Chengdu. Since then, Chengdu has gained the reputation of "City of Furong". Later, after the demise of Shu, Mrs. Hua Rui was swept into the harem by the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Mrs. Hua Rui often misses Meng Chang and secretly treasures his portrait to express her feelings of missing him. When Zhao Kuangyin found out, he forced her to hand over the portrait. However, Mrs. Huarui refused, and Zhao Kuangyin killed her in a rage. Later generations respected Mrs. Hua Rui's loyalty to love and regarded her as the "hibiscus flower god", so the hibiscus flower was also called the "love flower".
