A touch of drooping purple

It’s so beautiful!” Recently, a reporter of Chongqing Evening News saw that at the entrance of Zhongxing Road, Shancheng Footpath in Yuzhong District. The red and purple bougainvilleas hanging from the fort ridge above the entrance attracted many tourists.

Mr. Li, a resident nearby, told the reporter that bougainvilleas have been growing for years near the entrance of Shancheng Footpath and bloom most brightly at this time of a year.

Near Beiqiaotou of Shibanpo Yangtze River Bridge not far from Shancheng Footpath, except for the colorful bougainvilleas on the guardrail at the bridgehead, if you look up, you will find that bougainvilleas growing on the cliff under the footpath are more spectacular.

It goes well with rail trains

Bougainvilleas in the Liziba Anti-Japanese War Ruins Park in Yuzhong District look coy and quiet, and complement the historical and cultural sites in the Park.

In Yuzhong District, next to SML Plaza, Jiaochangkou, a huge purple bougainvillea tree became the most dazzling presence in the business circle.

In Niujiaotuo, Yuzhong District, bougainvilleas became a new scene on both sides of the road at the Entrance and Exit of the Tiyu Road Tunnel opened last year. Standing on the Tunnel Entrance of Tiyu Road, you will find that bougainvilleas are well matched with the rail train running nearby.

It brightens slopes of the mountain city

According to Management and Protection Department of Banan District Green Garden Construction Administration Office, more than 8,000 bougainvillea trees have been in full bloom on the slopes of more than 30 places in this area.

During this time, people take photos every day at the slope of Longzhouwan Park. “In the past, these slopes were either overgrown with weeds or bare, and bougainvilleas were planted after remediation. Bougainvilleas were in full bloom, and the slopes were turned into gardens. It is quite beautiful,” said a resident nearby.

Red and purple are main colors of bougainvilleas. In people’s eyes, the bright and beautiful flowers are not real flowers. The real flowers are the small ones hidden in the gorgeous bracts. Three small flowers are arranged in triangle symmetry, so it was named bougainvillea. (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
