The scent of osmanthus fills the autumn air in Nanchang

Autumn in Nanchang is all about the "fragrance of osmanthus"! This year, the osmanthus blooming period is a bit later than usual. Currently, the silver osmanthus and red osmanthus have started to bloom, and the peak blooming period for the sweet osmanthus will arrive by the end of the month. In the golden autumn season, the fragrance of osmanthus pervades everywhere in Nanchang. Along the Ganjiang Citizen Park, clusters of slightly opened osmanthus flowers look like babies just waking up—adorable and sweet-smelling. Ms. Zhao, a local resident, pays attention to the osmanthus trees every day on her way to and from work. She noticed the flowers blooming during her morning exercise, accompanied by the scent of osmanthus all along the way. Many morning exercisers slow down, look up to find the petals, and use their phones to capture the beautiful autumn scenery. The rows of sweet osmanthus and red osmanthus along Ganjiang Middle Avenue form an "Osmanthus Avenue," with clusters of pale yellow flowers emitting a sweet fragrance, though it is not yet at its most intense. The 500-year-old "ancient osmanthus" tree in Fenggang Village, Shigang Town, Xinjian District, is also in its early blooming stage. Standing 10 meters tall, its gnarled and sturdy branches and green leaves are dotted with tiny flowers, and even the village elders can smell the fragrance at home. Come to Nanchang and encounter this "osmanthus-scented" autumn romance!
