Last weekend, Xiao Fan walked around the corners of the mountain
It was found that the azaleas on the mountain were blooming one after another
Because the temperature on the mountain is generally low this spring
As a result, this year's azaleas bloomed slightly later than in previous years
According to the current temperature on the mountain and the opening of the azaleas
It is expected that the peak of the azaleas this year may not be until the end of April or mid-May
Although it is not yet in its heyday
But at this time this cluster of azaleas bloomed on the mountain
It's really good too!!
Meitu crit
[The shy cuckoo opens quietly]
Although occasionally a few clusters of blooming cuckoos can be seen on the ropeway
But because the sea of flowers has not yet been connected, it is only a flash
Now the azaleas bloom best in the mountains
We can get up close and personal with the azaleas in the Mushroom Stone area!
On the cold cliff of ten thousand books and heaven-shaking seals
Clusters of pink-white azaleas have bloomed
In the mist of the mountains, pink white cuckoos sway in the wind on the rocks
The fresh petals sparkle in the mist
The flowers that bloom on the cliff wall always have the interest of a tiger sniffing roses
It's especially poignant
It's not just 10,000 books
The azaleas next to the viewing platform also reveal their aromas early
From a distance, it looks like a cliff is covered with stars
It is also like the white splash of green spring
Leaning over and taking a closer look, the flowers are splendid and the fragrance is striking
If you find the right angle, you can also photograph the mushroom stone behind the flower branch
Take a secret photo, as if the pair of lovers who have been together for thousands of years received a bouquet of spring flowers
In addition to these two, two rhododendrons on the side of the Marlboro viewing platform have also opened
However, because the amount of flowers is small, and the location is more remote
It's easy to miss if you don't pay attention
Affected by the weather
The azaleas in the rhododendron gallery are basically in a budding state at present
If you want to bloom into a sea, it is expected to wait until around May Day
Xiao Fan will also keep an eye on the progress bar of the azaleas blooming on the mountain
Report to everyone in a timely manner
Rhododendron spectrum
[Learn quietly and amaze everyone]
Although at the moment the alpine azalea is not fully open
But before it is a sea of flowers, read the Fanjing Mountain alpine azalea group in advance
When you enjoy the blossoms, you can see the excitement and understand the doorway
Quietly make a big move and amaze everyone
There are dozens of species of alpine azaleas in Fanjing Mountain
Due to the different growth altitude and location
Different varieties of azaleas also have different flowering periods
The earliest large bell cuckoo can be frosted in March
The latest rhododendrons are still in full bloom in June
Now, follow Xiao Fan to learn about the flowering period and characteristics of several alpine rhododendron species common on the mountain
Next time I can act as a half botanist
Call the name of the flower, and the mountains are all your sisters!

Flower viewing guide
【Self-help flower viewing does not ask for people】
ropeway
If you want to overlook the sea of flowers, the ropeway is definitely the best place to enjoy the flowers. When the ropeway rises slowly, a sea of azaleas can be easily seen through the glass window in the lush woods.
The ropeway overlooks the entire Vanjing Mountain, where the azaleas bloom around mid-April to mid-May, during which time the mountain rhododendron blooms and the romantic pink flowers do not wither.
Rhododendron promenade
If you want to kiss the azalea, you must enter this romantic rhododendron promenade. In this short path, there are countless azaleas on both sides, and when the flowers bloom, they are full of dazzling, and entering here is like stepping into a sea of azaleas.
The rhododendron promenade is generally in full bloom from late April to mid-to-late May, the entrance of the promenade is narrow, the blue-gray stone steps are a little slippery after rain or fog, and you should pay attention to the safety of your feet when viewing the flowers.
Ropeway boardwalk
Compared with the azalea corridor where azaleas are densely forested, the boardwalk is less quiet and wet. The wooden boardwalk has a wide view, and the blue sky and white clouds and delicate azaleas are painted in the bright spring light. The plank path has a wide view, and the azaleas generally bloom from the end of April to the middle of May.
So much has been said
It can be summed up in one sentence
May Day just came to see the sea of flowers!
This spring, Fanjing Mountain experienced two snowstorms
Nor did it stop the blooming of the cuckoos
Spring is shining, and the azaleas are blooming just in time
With anticipation, over thousands of mountains and seas
Wait for a spring breeze to double the speed
The romance of this mountain
