On a sunny spring day in April, why not visit Junshan Mountain in Nantong, Jiangsu province, where the blossoms are in full bloom?

The paths are lined on both sides with large patches of orychophragmus violaceus, which sway like purple waves in the gentle breeze. The delicate flowers have four petals arranged in a cross shape, with golden stamens scattered among the blue and purple flower sea.

The camellias can be found everywhere you look on the mountain. Some bloom alone on branches, while others gather in small groups. The flame-like bright red petals, set against the backdrop of green leaves, are more vibrant and eye-catching than ever. Each flower is like a piece of art, showcasing the delicacy and beauty of spring.

Standing at the summit of the mountain, one can admire both the flowers and the mountains and waters. This April, while the flowers are in full bloom, hurry to Junshan Mountain for a romantic rendezvous with orychophragmus violaceus and camellias.
