Compared to Nanjing, I prefer Guangzhou's kapok avenues.

Spring in Guangzhou never arrives quietly🌿🌿—it bursts forth with a blaze of color🌺🌺, captivating every eye that looks up. In March, Guangzhou belongs to the kapok flowers, and among the many flower-viewing spots, Lingyuan West Road is undoubtedly the most dazzling "star," a must-visit for kapok enthusiasts! There are many places in Guangzhou to admire red kapok flowers, but Lingyuan West Road is almost universally recognized as a must-see for kapok lovers. In the eyes of many long-time Guangzhou residents, Lingyuan West Road, with its red kapok blossoms adorning the trees along the entire street, is Guangzhou's most beautiful "kapok road." The hero flower from elementary school textbooks, the kapok flower dyed red with the blood of martyrs, the city flower of Guangzhou, a continuous stretch of red—the image from the textbook is materialized on Lingyuan West Road. Stepping onto Lingyuan West Road is like entering a magnificent painting. Tall and straight red kapok trees line both sides of the road, their thick branches stretching towards the sky. When in bloom, the trees are covered with vibrant kapok flowers, large and brilliant, like burning flames that paint the sky red. The wind blows, and the petals flutter down, carpeting the ground in red, creating an incredibly romantic scene. The beauty of Lingyuan West Road lies not only in the flowers but also in its tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by residential areas and parks, it's free from the hustle and bustle of busy commercial streets. Even with a constant stream of visitors taking photos, everyone tacitly maintains a quiet respect, orderly seeking the best angles, gently pressing their shutters, as if afraid to disturb the serenity unique to spring. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing one to fully immerse themselves in the joy of flower viewing. For photography enthusiasts, Lingyuan West Road is an excellent location. The changing light throughout the day brings out different facets of the kapok flowers' beauty. In the morning, the soft sunlight bathes the blossoms, outlining them with golden edges; in the afternoon, under direct sunlight, the colors become more intense; in the evening, the setting sun drapes them in a warm orange veil, creating a romantic ambiance. Photographers, cameras in hand, crouch and stand, searching for the perfect angle to capture these beautiful moments. After taking photos on Lingyuan West Road, take a stroll into the adjacent Guangzhou Uprising Martyrs Cemetery. Inside, towering kapok trees stand proudly, witnesses to the passage of time, guarding the souls of the martyrs. The red kapok blossoms on the branches, like the unyielding spirit of the heroes, shine brightly in the spring breeze. Walking among them, pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their precious lives for the country and its people, and feel the profound red heritage of this heroic city. In this early spring, the red kapok flowers of Lingyuan West Road offer a unique and limited-time beauty in Guangzhou. Don't hesitate any longer!
