This afternoon, bathed in the warm winter sun, came to the "International Chaoqing Forest" on the side of the East Park of the Children's Park on Taishan South Road, only to see a continuous number of trees large and small, growing on the undulating mounds, among which there are Chongyang wood, there are strings of money willows, and there are many trees that cannot be named, lush and lush, cool breeze XiXi, forming a unique natural landscape with charming scenery.
The location of this forest is very unique, with the upper bridge section of the Shenhai Expressway Bay Bridge to the east and the heavily trafficked Sino-Thai overpass to the north. Since the forest is separated by hills and tall and dense trees, car noise has little impact on the park, forming a unique scenery in the middle of the noise. In the meantime, the natural scenery is particularly charming, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the sea breeze is blowing, the air is exceptionally fresh, and the mood is very relaxed.
Chongyang wood flowers and leaves bloom together, the flower color is light green, the autumn leaves turn red, gorgeous and eye-catching, fast growth, as an ornamental tree species is very ornamental. This kind of tree is a unique tree species in our country, the tree posture is beautiful, the crown is like an umbrella cover, the leaves are broad, flat, stiff, not easy to shake in the wind, there is a fast-growing Bingfu, there is the ability to resist wind and humidity, the folk so-called tree big wind, in fact, the tree is also windproof.
String of money willow, also known as weeping peach branch melaleuca melaleuca, is an evergreen plant that can grow for many years, good ornamental effect, maintenance and worry-free, can greatly delight us and play a decorative role. This tree is also called the Campbell Tree, and its meaning is that wealth is rolling and it is a symbol of wealth and good luck. Its name comes from its unique fruit. When the wooden capsules are formed, they are slightly round and numerous, as if they are strung together with copper coins from ancient China, and the soft branches are like willows.
The International Chaoqing Forest has a beautiful environment and is a good place to relax, which is very pleasant. Since this green space is not currently named after the park, it is still some distance from the central city, and most of them pass by by car, so I don't know much about it. The origin of this international Chaoqing forest is the 6th International Chaoqing Friendship Annual Conference held in Shantou on December 14, 2010, one of the activities is that the participating talents and Shantou young friends unveiled the "International Chaoqing Forest" commemorative stone monument, and planted 150 saplings by hand, which not only expresses the common aspiration of the "root homeland" of Chaoqing in various places, but also celebrates the 150th anniversary of the opening of Shantou. More than 10 years have passed, and the saplings that were planted in the past have now grown into towering trees. With the eastward expansion of the city, the greening facilities of the new residential area and the various flowers and trees artificially planted at the corners of the road are connected with the "Chaoqing Forest" to form a large piece of garden green space.
