Rhododendron has a very sad love story in China, and from ancient times to now, many literati and poets in history have used many poems to describe or admire Rhododendron. Many places in Chinese mainland also have a large number of azaleas growing in the wild. Today, I will introduce you to the very famous azaleas viewing place in China.

In the past, you could see this kind of flower in full bloom in the mountains, but now you can see this kind of flower in the cities. The very famous rhododendron viewing resorts include Bijie in Guizhou, Macheng in Hubei, Jinggangshan in Jiangxi and Dawei Mountain in Hunan.

Dawei Mountain

The azaleas bloom from April to May every year. In the middle of the mountain forest, clusters of azaleas are so colorful that you can see the colorful azaleas all over the Dawei Mountain.

In Dawei Mountain in April, azaleas are in full bloom on the hillside. At this time, azaleas are already an ocean of flowers!

It is reported that more than 3 species of rhododendrons have been found in Dawei Mountain, and rare and unique rhododendrons are also growing on Dawei Mountain. Rhododendron varieties like this can only be seen on Dawei Mountain. Those who are very fond of rhododendrons may wish to go there and have a look.

Because of the different altitude there, the flowering time of rhododendron in Mangshan Mountain is staggered, and here it also shows the characteristic of long flowering period.

From April to May, from low altitude to high altitude, the azaleas on Dawei Mountain bloom in turn, and the azaleas grow between alpine green forests and waterfalls, and the azaleas bloom in them. The azaleas are also particularly beautiful.

Rhododendron viewing is another good part. Personally, I would especially recommend going to Qixingling area, where the growth of Rhododendron is called a stretch of ten thousand mu. The scale of flower opening can be regarded as a flower wonder in South China and even in China.

The species and communities of rhododendrons in Dawei Mountain are widely distributed, with patches and scattered shapes, especially in the valleys and slopes above 1,2 meters above sea level in Qixingling, Honglian Temple and Wuzhishi Scenic Area.
