Rhododendron in Gu Lei
Rhododendron blooming time:
Every year from mid-May to the end of June.
Gulei Mountain in Egou, Tanchang County is located in the southeast of Tanchang County, with an altitude of 4 154 meters.
Gushan, 4 153 meters above sea level, stands in the southeast of Dangchang, which is the boundary mountain between Dangchang and Zhouqu in Gannan. The towering peaks and the snow that does not melt all year round form a beautiful scenery with the virgin forest and canyon waterfall at the foot of the mountain.
The azaleas in Gulei Mountain are in full bloom for the second time. Clusters make Gulei Mountain a sea of flowers, with bright colors, pink or crimson, especially enchanting; Or crowded in the depths of the forest, or blooming on the roadside, like a burning flame, like a red wave, intoxicating!
Rhododendron is a very hardy plant. She grew up in cold, wet and alpine meadows. The smallest is only a few centimeters high, and the largest is several feet high. Roots are developed, leaves are lush, and flowers are red, purple, yellow and white. White is refreshing white, noble white, petals like horns, pink stamens are soft, elegant and unobtrusive, as quiet as a lovely girl in a boudoir, without any charm. Purple is wild and full, open and free, and passionate.
Ornamental azaleas
The azaleas are blooming, and the mountains are full of colors, like a palette overturned by God. Exquisite Clivia, tall calla lily and flawless lotus are not as good as pure azaleas. They absorbed the essence of the snow-capped mountains. It is the soul of the mountain and the embodiment of simple farmers.
You see, the roots attached to the black soil are old, the freely spreading branches are young, and the blooming flowers are children.
We lay on our backs, listening to the sounds of heavy mountains, soft grass and fragrant azaleas, but there were no more spring, birds singing and pine trees in the wind except for the occasional two songs of Bleicken coming down the mountain in the distance.
We remembered the famous saying: "I dare not speak loudly for fear of scaring people." In the pine forest on the mountain so close to Gu Lei, enjoying such a wonderful and quiet beauty makes people feel detached and refined.
