It is now high time to visit Shenzhen's Enshang Wetland Park (恩上湿地公园) and see the blooming Chinese New Year flowers (铃儿花), reports Shenzhen Special Zone Daily on Monday.

The Chinese New Year flower (Enkianthus quinqueflorus) is the bloom of a kind of shrub native to southern and central China as well as northern Vietnam. It is also known as the "Pink Chadlier" because of its abundant clusters of pendant flowers.

The wetland park in Shenzhen's Wutong Mountain boasts 500,000 shrubs of wild Chinese New Year flowers, creating a stunning floral display.
