It is the original species of rhododendron, which is a horticultural cultivar and one of the top ten famous flowers in China, and has been cultivated for more than 1,000 years. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, rhododendrons have frequently inscribed poets and lyricists because of their gorgeous and colorful colors and chic demeanor. Bai Juyi praised it as "Xi Shi in the flower": "Idle fold two branches in the hand, look closely not like the world, this thing in the flower is Xi Shi, hibiscus peony are all mother-in-law."

There are many roads, parks and even residential green belts in Hangzhou where azaleas are planted, but they can become a check-in point every year, and Lingyin Road is one.

From the intersection of Shuguang Road to Lingyin Hejian Bridge, it stretches for 3 kilometers, and there are nearly 10,000 rhododendrons blooming on both sides of the road and on the sub-traffic belt.

Dai Zhixiang, a garden expert and "the most beautiful West Lake person" of the Lingyin Management Office, introduced that the rhododendron of Lingyin Road was planted in the 80s of the last century, and in the past few decades, the Lingyin Management Office has continuously improved the rhododendron landscape of Lingyin Road through the introduction of planting and soil improvement and other maintenance technologies.

Since 2014, the management office has also done an interesting experiment on Rhododendron Lingyinlu, which measured the photosynthesis, morphology, physiology and biochemistry of Rhododendron varieties, and screened out Rhododendron varieties with strong negative tolerance and drought resistance.
