Changdong Park: Urban Whispers

Changdong Park is filled with the moist fragrance of greenery, with dewdrops hanging precariously on the edges of azalea petals, ready to fall but holding on. On both sides of the cobblestone path, fallen camellia petals form a dark red velvet carpet atop the moss. By the artificial lake, the willow branches gently brush the water's surface, startling a few mallards preening their feathers. Ripples break the reflection of the morning glow into golden fragments. In the afternoon, the osmanthus bushes release a sweet and rich aroma, attracting swarms of pale-striped butterflies fluttering among the flowers.
