"Xiangcheng" is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

This year, the summer in Chengdu was extremely hot and continued until mid-September, causing primary and secondary schools to postpone the start of school for a week. Even the osmanthus that blooms every year in the eighth month of the lunar calendar could not open on time, making this year a "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "National Day" without the fragrance of osmanthus. Nature seems to have played a joke on us. I thought that the hot weather this year would prevent the osmanthus from blooming. I didn't expect that the osmanthus in Chengdu would bloom during the "Double Ninth Festival", which was more than a month later than in previous years. Speaking of osmanthus, the people of Chengdu know that the best place to enjoy osmanthus is "Guihu Park" in Xindu District. The nickname of Xindu is "Xiangcheng", which is named after the fragrance of osmanthus in Guihu and its surroundings. It is also one of the "Three Capitals of Ancient Shu" and has a history of nearly 2,800 years. I was fortunate to come to Xindu Guihu Park twice before and after the Double Ninth Festival these days. This is the former residence of Yang Shengan, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that in his garden, "osmanthus trees are planted along the embankment", so there is Xindu Guihu. Influenced by it, the people of Xindu planted osmanthus trees in a grand manner. Every year before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the osmanthus fragrance is fragrant, and there are endless tourists who come to enjoy the lake and osmanthus. Although the osmanthus bloomed late this year, the osmanthus flowers and the scale of blooming are better than in previous years. The entire park is surrounded by a strong fragrance, making it an ideal place for citizens and tourists to find autumn romance and warmth. It is: Osmanthus in August and September, only because of the heat and fragrance, Worried that osmanthus has no stamens, I know that it is more fragrant when it is late. Guys, if you have the conditions and time, you must go to Guihu Park to take a look and feel the fragrance of osmanthus in "Xiangcheng"..., calm down and let your heart and lungs enjoy the fragrance of osmanthus, take a good look at the four-petal shape of the small osmanthus, and taste Yang Shengan's "The rolling Yangtze River is eastward, and the waves are all heroes". Because with the autumn rain and autumn wind in autumn, the osmanthus will soon wither, and it will be goodbye next year.
