I think I love Guangzhou’s Kapok Flower Avenue even more.

Spring in this city never arrives quietly—
It comes blazing in, like fire on the trees,
Crashing gloriously into every pair of eyes that dare to look up. 🌺🔥
While plane trees in Nanjing are still slowly awakening,
Guangzhou’s Lingyuan West Road has already ignited into a street of flame.
The red that floods from Exit D of Martyrs’ Park Station isn’t the gentle drizzle of Jiangnan’s springtime charm—
It’s a declaration of spring, watered with a century of blood and courage from this hero city.
🩷 “When Hero Flowers bloom in a Hero City.”
Look up—300 meters of blazing red blossoms form a canopy that blocks out the sky.
Guangzhou’s Kapok Flower Avenue left me absolutely speechless.
📍 Location: Lingyuan West Road, Guangzhou
🚇 How to get there: Take Metro Line 1 to Martyrs’ Park Station, Exit D — step out and be greeted instantly by the sea of red kapoks.

Guess what this place is called?
Heroes bloom in the city of heroes, and the kapok flowers of Guangzhou are blooming on the branches! As the city flower of Guangzhou, the kapok flower is also known as the 'hero flower', because its bright red blossoms are not vulgar, and its colors are as heroic as the heroes themselves. Its strong trunk stands tall and upright, fully displaying the heroic spirit.

🌸Two good spots for flower viewing:
1⃣️ 'Little Palace' Nongjiangsu: The ancient buildings with red walls and green tiles, paired with the fiery red kapok flowers, give a sense of 'spring cannot be shut out', full of ancient charm and poetic ambiance! You can also go to the opposite Xinghuo 1926 fourth-floor platform to take an overhead shot without the need for a drone, easily capturing the panorama, with an amazing overhead view!
2⃣️ Lingyuan West Road: Every spring, the most magnificent kapok flowers in Guangzhou bloom beside the Martyrs' Cemetery. The road is lined with kapok trees, which are dense and spectacular. The blooming hero flowers accompany the Martyrs' Cemetery of the Guangzhou Uprising, making the nickname 'hero flower' even more powerful.

❶Dongshankou: A trendy place that's great for photography, very photogenic
❷Lingyuan West Road: The whole street is full of kapok flowers, very spectacular.

Early spring in the city of flowers, the most striking feature is the red kapok
The red cotton camera position that was asked about ❗Heroic flowers bloom in the hero city❗❗||| Early spring in the flower city, the most beautiful thing is a touch of red kapok. March is coming soon and kapok flowers are in full bloom in Guangzhou. To borrow a poem from Mr. Huang Zhenwei, an expert on the history of the Party: Heroic flowers bloom in a heroic city, a heroic city breeds heroic people, heroic people create heroic careers, and heroic careers are carried on by heroes.
The flowering period of Kapok is from the end of February to March. Welcome to see the Guangzhou Hero Flower🌸
