On Saturday, July 27th, at Sunflower Village, the yellow petals of the sunflower buds in the Jumbo Maze near the tourist center were eagerly waiting to bloom.

As the buds begin to swell, yellow petals gradually appear and disappear... lined up like musical notes, they play a melody.
In the fields on the hill, which are completely covered in yellow, many tourists are enjoying the sunflowers in bloom.
