Covering an area of 233,000 square meters, it took 3 years to turn the deserted lakeshore into a quality example of leisure agriculture. The park has also provided jobs to local flower farmers and allowed a small but profitable rose product business to thrive.

Through producing goods and becoming a tourist attraction, the rose park has managed to achieve a balance of economic and social benefit.
