Why is Chengdu called Rongcheng?

Because Chengdu planted hibiscus all over the country during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Chengdu was named Furong City because of its flowers, also known as Rongcheng.

After 932 AD, Meng Zhixiang, the emperor of Shu, died, and his throne passed to his son Meng Changjun. Emperor Houshu proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu for 32 years. Meng Chang has been proclaimed emperor for 32 years, but he has never had a good reputation, but it has made Chengdu people all over the world, which has become his political achievements. In fact, people planted hibiscus trees first, not Meng Chang. Chengdu is full of hibiscus flowers, and has since become the city of hibiscus, referred to as Rongcheng.

After a long time, the name Rongcheng will never be erased. Meng Changjun ordered the planting of hibiscus for his enjoyment. Based on the historical influence of Hibiscus in Chengdu, on May 26th, 1983, Hibiscus was officially named as the city flower of Chengdu. Now, in Longquan section of Shudu Avenue, especially on both sides of Jinniu Avenue, every autumn, rows of hibiscus flowers meet the autumn sun, which is very beautiful in red or white.
