A sea of purple flowers has appeared at Shuxi Lake, perfect for photos!


Hefei in March is the perfect blend of spring's warmth and clear skies.
Today, I discovered a vast field of flowers in Shuxi Lake Park.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, small purple flowers sway in the breeze.
Their name is actually "Orychophragmus violaceus."
The purple blossoms exude a refreshing fragrance,
Adding a unique touch of color to spring.
At a glance, they spread across the roadside,
Attracting every passerby.

They are also the "February orchids" described by Ji Xianlin:

🌿In the blink of an eye, somehow, the entire Yenching University campus became a kingdom of February orchids. February orchids are a common wildflower. The flowers are small, a mix of purple and white... but their strength lies in their numbers. Every spring, with a gentle breeze, small flowers bloom; at first, only one, two, a few. But in an instant, overnight, they can transform into hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. They seem to reign supreme over all other flowers.

‼️Right now, you can also enjoy these at Shuxi Lake:
▫️✨️Shuxi Lake has many magnolia flowers, both white and red, scattered or clustered together!
▫️🌺Shuxi Lake also has many purple-leaf plum blossoms. When the wind blows, the swaying branches create a shower of petals.
▫️⛳️Camping, spring outings, flower viewing, sunset watching—Shuxi Lake has a mound where you can stand and overlook the park's scenery.
(The last picture shows the exact location!)

‼️How to get there?
📍Address: No. 1880, Changning Avenue, High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Shushan District
👉Transportation recommendations:
1️⃣Take Subway Line 2 to Guizhuang, then walk or cycle to the destination!
2️⃣Drive directly to the Sand's Outlet parking lot, then walk into the park to see the flowers.
