Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea 簕杜鹃花

Bougainvillea, the city flower of Shenzhen, blooms in almost every corner of the city, creating marvelous spectacles even in places beyond expectation. In Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park, bougainvilleas carry pink and white flowers. Lianhua Hill Park, which has been hosting the city’s annual bougainvillea shows since 1999, has a large variety of bougainvilleas. Shenzhen also has a bougainvillea-themed park called Bougainvillea Valley, which is located in Bao’an District. Photos by Liu Xudong, Lin Songtao
