I stayed in Guangdong for a long time and went to Guangzhou to see kapok in April. I have the following suggestions:

1. The best time to see flowers is in the middle and late April, when kapok is in full bloom. The kapok in Guangzhou is mainly distributed in Baiyun Mountain, Yuexiu Mountain and other places. The kapok forests in these two places are beautiful and are good places to enjoy flowers.

2. The best way to enjoy flowers in the mountains is hiking. You can choose Baiyun Mountain Nigang Ancient Road or Yuexiu Mountain Villa Ancient Road. During the flowering period, there are many kapok trees on the mountain road, and the scenery is beautiful. If you are tired, you can also choose the cable car to go up the mountain and enjoy the flowers at the top of the mountain.

3. Remember to bring flowerpots and picking tools. You can pick kapok in Longchuan Mountain and other places. But be careful not to pick too much, so as not to harm the trees. Wear long-sleeved clothes when picking, and the white floc of kapok is easy to stick to the clothes.

4. In hot weather, you should take sunscreen products, rain gear and supplies to prevent pollen allergy when going up the mountain to enjoy flowers. Guangzhou has entered the early summer in April, and the temperature is high during the day, so it is necessary to prevent heatstroke. And there may be short-term showers, it is recommended to bring an umbrella or raincoat. People with pollen allergy should wear masks and glasses.

5. You can taste delicious food with the theme of kapok, such as kapok glutinous rice paste, kapok bean jelly, kapok bean curd and so on. These foods are all made of kapok, which is sweet and delicious and very popular with tourists.

6. In addition to kapok, Guangzhou in April is also worth visiting. You can visit plum trees, Chaozhou House, Jiangnan water towns and so on, and experience the charm and life rhythm of Guangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
