In September, Guangzhou hosted the 2017 Guangzhou International Floral Art Exhibition and the World Flower Council’s (WFC) Annual Summit.

The month of October, dreary in most places, is still alive with flowers in tropical Guangzhou, with cosmos sulphureus, ceiba insignis and bougainvillea all coming into season. So where can you best admire (and of course photograph) these flowers during these (hopefully) cooler autumn days? Here are several fine choices:

Wushan Campus, South China University of Technology
