The decision was: "The camphor tree" is designated as the "City Tree" of Shangrao City; "Sanqing Rhododendron" and "Camellia" are jointly designated as the "City Flowers" of Shangrao City.
The rhododendrons of Sanqing Mountain are a precious treasure of the entire city. Among all the rhododendron viewing spots in the country, the rhododendrons of Sanqing Mountain are undoubtedly the most extraordinary and beautiful. No matter from which angle you appreciate them, the rhododendrons of Sanqing Mountain will make you feel an unparalleled sense of amazement!
The largest flower-viewing spot
No one really knows exactly how many thousands or even millions of plants there are. The entire mountain is covered with rhododendrons, which always leave people dazzled. Many rhododendron viewing spots throughout the mountain are so captivating that people find themselves reluctant to leave. The scale of such a large mountainous rhododendron forest is truly astonishing.

The longest period of flower viewing
From the end of May to July every year, the flowering period lasts for nearly a month, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the flowers for a long time. The Rhododendron trees in Sanqing Mountain have a lifespan of over a thousand years. Before blooming, they go through a process similar to "pregnancy for ten months". The Rhododendrons here bloom in late May every year, and by the time the flowers wither, new flower buds will sprout. By the end of May or early June of the following year, they will bloom again, which is exactly ten months of gestation.
