The azalea period in Jinggangshan is from mid-April to mid-June, with a long flowering period. When azaleas are in full bloom, clusters of red, pink or white in the green hills sway with the wind, green is about to drip, red is about to burn, white is like jade, and pink is like a sunset. In particular, the pearl of Jinggangshan-Bijiashan Scenic Area in Shili Du Fu Corridor is unique.

Rhododendron is the city flower of Jinggangshan City. At present, there are 32 species of rhododendrons in Jinggangshan, including white-flowered rhododendrons from Jiangxi, red-flowered rhododendrons, pink-flowered rhododendrons from Cornea and Jinyun, pink-flowered rhododendrons from Hericium erinaceus, red-purple rhododendrons from Mao Dujuan and fragrant rhododendrons from Jinggangshan, many of which are unique to Jinggangshan.

Affected by the epidemic, Jinggangshan will hold the 11th Jinggangshan Rhododendron Festival in 2020 online on April 25th. With the theme of "azaleas bloom and swim in Jinggangshan", it is sponsored by Jinggangshan Administration and Jinggangshan Municipal People's Government, and undertaken by Jinggangshan Tourism Development Corporation.

The Jinggangshan Rhododendron Festival has been successfully held for ten times, and it has experienced a beautiful "butterfly change" from scratch to excellent, and has become an important tourism festival brand in Jinggangshan. This year's Rhododendron Festival will continue to adhere to the development concept of "red leading and green rising", comprehensively display Jinggangshan tourism resources and tourism industry with rhododendron as the medium, and will also introduce preferential policies for scenic spots and promotion policies for Rhododendron Festival to fully blow the tourism horn of Jinggangshan.
