The silk floss trees in Bijia Mountain Forest Park in Gaozhou, a county-level city in Maoming, South China's Guangdong Province, have now entered their prime viewing period, covering the hillsides in vibrant pink blossoms and adding a romantic touch to the winter landscape.
"The flowers are beautiful—the green leaves and pink blooms are stunning," said a local resident exercising in the park, pausing to take photos.
Known as the "beauty tree," the silk floss tree blooms from late autumn to winter, with peak flowering from mid-November to early December.
