The blooming bougainvillea terraces at Xiamen Botanical Garden

Bougainvillea is the vibrant autumn color that blooms wildly in the south, with bold and passionate large patches of color striking the eyes of passersby, stunning the entire city. The sea of bougainvillea flowers in the Flower Garden of Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite distinctive, covering more than 20,000 square meters. It is designed as a waterfall-like flower belt using terraced terrain and is said to include over 500 varieties. Although most of the colors are familiar, it is the first time to see each flower tree labeled with so many variety names. The brilliantly colored flowers and leaves spread out along the high and low, horizontal and slanting terrain lines, creating a very powerful visual impact.
