Azaleas

We recently visited the Black Dragon Pool park on the north side of town to see the azaleas in bloom:AzaleasThis is one of the nicest parks in our city, with a variety of terrain and things to see.  There are some peaceful old places (look for the stone dragon head):dragon head Ancient Tower Old Temple

It is also traditional to do the “Asian squat” and take close-ups of the flowers with your mobile phone:Squat PicturesAzaleas up close
