🍓 Blooming Season: Early April to late May, with peak bloom around mid-to-late April ❤️ Recommended Spots: Beihang Road: As Xichang's most famous jacaranda avenue, it's perfect for capturing stunning photos.

In the bright May, I caught the tail end of the Jacaranda. The Jacaranda in May has passed its blooming peak Although most of them have withered, they are still very beautiful One can imagine what the city looked like during the peak blooming period, covered in blue and purple mist I am really happy, and I guess it's a small success in flower chasing - 📸 About shooting: 📍Hangtian North Road Actually, the Jacarandas here have almost all fallen, only at the entrance bus station there are still two trees that are blooming quite well Here they have Jacaranda-themed creative ice cream, cute and fitting for the scene . 📍Tingtao Town·Zhongshufang Actually, I came here just for the blooming flowers by this window And it did not disappoint me, the Jacaranda in May is gradually withering It can't compare to the grandeur and shock of the peak blooming period, but it still amazed me Zhongshufang is a two-story white bookstore, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides of the second floor One whole side of the window faces the flowering trees outside, as if surrounded by a sea of blue and purple flowers, just sitting here makes one feel the romance that comes unexpectedly The bookstore is quite niche, not too crowded, a good place to read and enjoy the view - 🎫: Free (drinks available for purchase) 🕐: 09:30-18:00

"After the snow of moutan peonies, spring is about to leave, but the jacaranda trees are still full of blossoms." Women always love flowers, regardless of their color, admiring their graceful branches. Whether you are naturally flamboyant or not, the very essence of flowers can sincerely evoke love in you, helping to dispel the gloom. In recent years, jacaranda has become an annual top attraction in Xichang. It can be said that jacarandas are found almost everywhere in Xichang, filling one's view, but the most beautiful tree shapes, densest blossoms, and most pervasive presence are found only on Hangtian North Road, which also happens to be the most chaotic with the heaviest pedestrian and vehicle traffic, making it the hardest place to take pictures. However, people still rush to crowd this purple path, perhaps because the chance to see this purple haze, which only appears once a year, is truly rare. Just like its flower language 'Waiting for love in despair,' having hope means having expectations, and despite all the obstacles, it finally appears before your eyes.

Who hasn't yet visited the hometown of Naomi to see the jacarandas?💜 Xichang's April is really too beautiful❗️ It's a romantic sea of purple flowers💕 The best viewing period is around April 20th during the full bloom. Viewing locations include Beihangtian Road, Jianchang Road, Wenhui Road, Dengyue Road, Jiankanghuan Road, and Chuangxin Chuangye Road. 📍The location I photographed is on Beihangtian Road. 📝Camera position reference The spot by the window, away from the crowd, is really great for taking photos - and the traffic lights opposite the gas station and the zebra crossing are also very picturesque! 🍀The jacaranda trees are quite large and tall, so if possible, it's suggested to bring a small ladder or stool for photography; this way, the photographer can take pictures from a low angle, making the frame much cleaner～ Little Tips Wearing light colors can make the photos stand out more - Xichang's sun is very strong, so don't go at noon; it's better to go early or after four o'clock when portrait photography will be a bit easier

The Jacaranda! It refers to the sea of flowers that blanket the trees on both sides of the streets, where you can hardly see any leaves, creating a dreamy and atmospheric vibe. Among woody plants, only cherry blossoms and jacarandas can achieve this effect. However, compared to cherry blossoms, jacarandas may be even rarer. This is because there are few woody plants with purple flowers in nature, and jacarandas have high climate requirements. In China, probably only Xichang and Kunming have such landscapes (where the whole tree is covered with flowers, and you can hardly see any leaves). Cherry blossoms, on the other hand, are found everywhere, and there are many alternatives to cherry blossoms, such as pear, apricot, plum, and crabapple blossoms, which can achieve a similar effect.

Use a telephoto lens to make the Jacaranda trees appear denser and create the feeling of a Jacaranda tunnel. If possible, it is recommended to go at 5 pm, when the setting sun shines on the fluttering petals of the Jacaranda trees, and the passers-by, the scene is absolutely stunning. Post-processing tips: The main thing is to handle the purple of the Jacaranda trees well, to prevent the background and sky from turning purple like the flowers. A background and sky that lean towards cyan-green, contrasting with the purple of the flowers, looks very good. Increase the overall exposure a bit to make it bright and clean.
