The purple trumpet trees in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin are now at their peak, with the blooming season lasting just one to two months. If you're planning a visit, here's a handy guide to the best spots.

As winter lingers and a cool breeze still drifts through the streets, the trumpet trees have quietly ushered in a romantic overture, transforming the Tianmu River into a dreamlike ribbon of purple.

The main viewing area is located along the north bank of the Tianmu River, on the eastern section of Haojiang Road. The most popular photo spot is around the Tianmu Qintai.

In full bloom, the blossoms stand out beautifully against the modern lines of the Tianmu Qintai, turning this waterfront stretch into a scene rich with charm.

Beyond the Tianmu Qintai area, a stroll along the riverside floral trail reveals swaying waves of purple blossoms on one side and the gentle flow of the Tianmu River on the other.
