With lots of cool showers in long hot summers, transient wet spring spells from the sea, nice and cool autumn breezes from the northern mountains, and plentiful warm winter sunshine, it is suitable for crops, plants, flowers, as well as tourism in all the four seasons. With such a typical subtropical monsoon climate and a rich rainfall, Guangzhou is a city of fresh flowers all the year around. Guangzhou has long enjoyed the reputation of "the City of Flowers" and the kapok has been selected the city flower of Guangzhou Municipality and a symbol of the liberal spirit of the Cantonese. It is also the emblem of Southern Airlines, one of the three largest airline companies in China. By the way,
