In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the arrival of spring breathes life into Ningbo Road, a modest 260-meter alley, now renowned for its stunning display of 42 magnolia trees. These trees burst into bloom in early March, offering a fleeting, yet breathtaking view that lasts just over ten days. While Hangzhou is home to a venerable 500-year-old magnolia at Faxi Temple, Ningbo Road has recently emerged as a must-see destination for witnessing the spectacular beauty of these "Jade Orchids" or "Yulan," as they are locally known. The area's magnolia trees, standing tall and proud, create a visual feast, heralding the season with their lush, white blossoms.
