In March, the camphor trees in Guangxi's Xingzhong (Guangxi City District) are changing leaves. After a heavy rain on the morning of March 9th, the red and golden leaves on roads like Wangcheng Scenic Area and Binjiang Road fluttered in the wind, creating a colorful, dazzling landscape – the brightest sight in Guangxi City, attracting tourists and citizens to stop and admire, taking photos with their phones.

According to the Guangxi Forestry and Landscaping Bureau, camphor trees are native to Guangxi and are widely used in urban greening. The camphor trees in Wangcheng Scenic Area were planted in the late 1960s and early 1970s, approximately 80-90 trees, while the 400+ tall camphor trees on Binjiang Road were planted in the 1960s and 70s. Every spring, the fallen camphor leaves flutter like dancing butterflies, bringing people a poetic and colorful experience.
