The Enigmatic "Stinkless" Stinkweed Blooms of Maojiapu

#chinatravel

While its name suggests otherwise, the Clerodendrum bungei(aka "Stinky Peony") at Maojiapu surprises visitors with:
✓ Vibrant pink clusters that photograph like watercolor strokes
✓ Zero actual odor despite its dramatic nickname
✓ Two prime viewing spots:
1. Ancient Incense Trail entrance (near Yanggong Causeway)
2. Tongli Old Bridge area (some withered blooms add moody texture)

📍 Location: Maojiapu, West Lake (Free, open 24/7)
