Guancheng Xichenglou Park. Under the embellishment of kapok, the ancient buildings are more charming.

Let's go to Qiaotou Town for this warm feast of spring!

在萬江，東江邊的十余株木棉樹迎風而立，花朵怒放。

The ancient kapok is in full bloom, and the safflower is scorching.

The ancient kapok tree in Eagle Village is 166 years old.

Guangzhou Daily News (all-media reporter Ma Jun, correspondent Jin Ma) is another year of kapok red! The reporter learned from Macong Town yesterday that a 166-year-old ancient kapok tree in Ouyong Village of the town stands proudly and safflowers, coexists and prospers with the countryside, silently witnessing the changes and glory of the years.

　　儘管已歷經百餘年歲月，但這棵古木棉依舊身姿雄壯。舉目望去，它的樹榦遒勁有力，透露著蓬勃的生命力；花朵繁密紅豔、綴滿枝頭，花紅似火、蕊紅如焰。

Under the kapok tree, its "ID card" hangs, the data shows that the tree is 18.0 meters high, 0 centimeters in chest circumference, 0 meters in the east and west crowns, and 0 meters in the north and south crowns, and the trunk is so thick that two adults need to open their arms to barely hug it. Nowadays, this ancient kapok has been listed as a third-class ancient tree in Dongguan City.

　　百餘年來，這棵古木棉在河邊靜靜佇立，與鄉村共生共榮，承載著數代村民的集體記憶。“在我小時候，這棵樹就已經有將近兩層樓高了，是陪伴我們幾代人長大的一棵樹。”村民謝叔站在樹下，抬手比畫著記憶中的場景，“那時候每逢木棉花開，老人們會來這裡撿拾花曬乾煲湯泡茶，孩子們也經常來這裡玩或是在河裡遊水嬉戲。”

As time flies, this ancient kapok tree has taken root here, standing tall and growing vigorously, like the guardian of time, witnessing the development and changes of Ouyong Village year after year, and quietly telling the story of the years.

In order to protect the ancient trees so that they can better take root and grow, Macong integrates the protection of ancient and famous trees into the vivid practice of the "Millions and Thousands of Projects", so that these ancient trees will glow with new opportunities and promote the construction of ecological civilization in Machong to a new level.

In the Xichenglou Park in Guancheng, the vermilion tower holds up the flames in the sky, and the green tiles reflect the purple and red of spring. In Keyuan, in the depths of the curved corridor, Kapok obliquely probed through the moon cave door, and the flower shadow painted an ink painting on the window. In Dongguan People's Park, the branches of the kapok tree are full of red and bright flowers, and taking a photo of the flowers and the sky can easily get a cinematic blockbuster.

The spring breeze blows, the red cotton blossoms, and Wanjiang ushers in the warmest scenery of the year - crimson kapok dots the branches, adding a touch of warm color to the city. On the embankment of the Dongjiang River, the kapok trees on both sides of the river are blooming one after another, looking at it from afar, it is like a burning red cloud, and the Jinaozhou Tower and the statue of Jinao not far away reflect each other, painting a magnificent Lingnan spring scenery. Ms. Li, a citizen who came to take pictures and check in, said that the Dongjiang kapok in March is very distinctive, especially the hanging branches are also full of red flowers, forming a unique landscape painting.

Not only the embankment of the Dongjiang River, but also the scene of kapok blooming can be seen in various community parks, streets and banks of the Wanjiang River.

In Qiaotou Town, the kapok trees in the streets and alleys have also entered the full blooming period in recent days, and the trees are full of flowers and bloom in the wind, putting on a dazzling coat for the city. The fiery red kapok of a tree jumps up the branches like a burning flame, which makes people intoxicated at a glance.

It is understood that this year, due to the suitable temperature, the kapok in Qiaotou Town is particularly luxuriant. Walking on the street of Qiaotou, you can see the figure of kapok everywhere, and when you look up, you can see that it is full of trees and flowers, and the blue sky and white clouds complement each other, forming a beautiful spring picture.
