In March, the city of Foshan is adorned with the 'red makeup' of kapok flowers

March basks in the sun, and with the warmth of spring, it's the season when kapok flowers bloom in abundance. In fact, the kapok, known as the city flower of Guangzhou, is not unique to Guangzhou. In the streets and alleys of Lingnan, the bright and eye-catching presence of kapok is everywhere. Just like in Foshan, the entire month of March is draped in 'red makeup' by the kapok flowers, and the beautiful spring is also tinged with red. The kapok, hailed as the 'hero flower,' has a tall and straight trunk. When the kapok is in full bloom, the branches and green leaves of the whole tree fade away, adorned with delicate and large blossoms. The fiery red color of the flowers is particularly dazzling, like the flame burning with life on a torch, inspiring people to strive upwards. It also lights up the city's annual beautiful scenery. Several trees are half-dyed in red, as if painted, and the locals say it's the kapok flowers. In the old town of Foshan, at the corners of streets, along the main roads, and in parks big and small, every spring, this passionate red is indispensable. The kapok flower truly deserves to be the most eye-catching blossom in the world of flowers. It represents people's most vivid longing for spring, the cultural accumulation of the old Lingnan towns, and the symbol of the city's robustness and romance. Flower viewing recommendations: Lujing Road, Foshan Avenue, Jihua Garden, Zhongshan Park, Leigang, Asia Arts Park, Cultural Park, etc.
