Giant Red Flowers 🌺

Mornings are best for a walk. Shenzhen Lychee park has giant red flower trees! #discoverchina ❤️❤️ These trees are Mumian (木棉花） They are special to Guangdong province. They are blooming in late spring. What’s neat is that all the trees leaves will fall before the flower blooming. Then, the surprise of seed pods follows the flowering. Birds and insects like to drink the sweet nectar inside. Bird watchers would catch stunning photos of small birds flying among the giant red flowers. Best time to see the trees is morning when the flowers are fresh. Sit beneath and catch a few flower heads fall and twirl to the ground below. If you’re quiet enough you can hear them splash into the pond. 💦 Lychee park has fitness zones, walking paths, small shore for water play, picnic fields, fish ponds and pavilions for rest. Location By metro: Grand Theatre station exit D Hongling station exit B and F Hours Open 6am - 10pm Free admission Please care for the natural environment. Use littler bins or reduce single use plastics in green spaces. TY ☘️
