Recently, a visual feast has arrived at the east gate of Nanning People's Park, with a sea of snapdragons and a 100-meter-long firecracker flower wall adding a touch of romance to the New Year.
The mixed-color snapdragons include red, pink, yellow, white, and other colors. The flowers bloom along the terraces, layer upon layer like waves, and look like a giant oil painting in the sunlight. The petals sway gently in the breeze, like a group of "little goldfish" playing in the water. Snapdragons are not only named for their fish-like shape, but their colors also carry beautiful meanings: pink symbolizes "a happy life," yellow represents "wealth and prosperity," and purple signifies "good fortune," all of which convey blessings for life.
Accompanying the snapdragons is a nearly 100-meter-long firecracker flower wall at the east gate. The orange-red firecracker flowers cluster together like firecrackers hanging from branches, forming a vivid picture of "spring on the branches" in stark contrast to the softness of the snapdragons. This flower wall has become a popular spot for citizens, who wander among the flowers, stopping to admire or take photos to capture the colorful spring scenery. The park's walkways are cleverly designed, allowing visitors to walk up the terraces and appreciate the three-dimensional beauty of the flower sea from different angles. The lush trees in the distance and the nearby flower fields create a natural picture with distinct layers, full of vitality.
In addition, the park has integrated New Year themes to create garden landscapes, with decorations such as lanterns with the Chinese character "Fu" (meaning "good fortune") hanging from the trees, combining traditional New Year flavors with natural wildness. It is reported that the snapdragons will bloom until late February, so citizens can take advantage of the sunny weather to visit the park, feel the vitality of spring in the sea of flowers, and experience the poetic time of "walking in a painting."
