Two century-old wisteria trees are now in full bloom at the Nantong Museum in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, attracting many visitors.
The stunning purple and white flowers cascade down Haonan Bieye, a three-story British-style villa built in 1914 with a floor area of more than 2,000 square meters.
Haonan Bieye, which literally means "another property to the south of the Haohe River", was the former residence of Zhang Jian, an industrial magnate and scholar of modern China. According to historical records, the wisteria trees were planted by Zhang the same year the villa was built.
According to experts, now is the best time to admire the blossoms, as the florescence will last only about 20 days. Don't miss it!
