Pingshan River (坪山河)

The pink trumpet trees are quite common in Shenzhen, although the shapes and colors of their flowers can vary. During their peak blooming period, which typically lasts through March, these trees burst into full bloom, resembling a beautiful canopy of vibrant “wind chime” clusters. A great spot to enjoy the dazzling pink flowers is Qilong Road (启隆路) by the Pingshan River.
