East Luo Creek - Kapok Flowers

Location and Scale: The Kapok Flower Path stretches along East Luo Creek for about 4–5 kilometers, connecting Pitou and Erlin. There are over 600 kapok trees, most of which are around 20 years old. • Blooming Season: The flowers typically bloom from late February (earlier in the Pitou section) to mid-March. The Erlin section usually blooms a few weeks later, with the overall blooming season lasting about a month. Fiery Tunnel: The orange-red blossoms cover both sides of the road like a tunnel, resembling flames on the ground, with petals seemingly floating in the air. • Scenic Fields: On one side, there are lush green rice fields, and on the other, a gently flowing creek. The natural planting creates a dreamlike landscape. 📍 Transportation and Parking • How to Get There: Take National Highway No. 1 and exit at Beidou Interchange. Follow the signs to Pitou and Erlin to reach the destination. • Parking: Roadside parking is available along the flood prevention roads. On weekends, it’s recommended to arrive early to secure a parking spot. 🌅 Travel Recommendations • Segmental Flower Viewing: Start with the Pitou section (which blooms earlier), and visit the Erlin section a few days later to enjoy the dual-phase flower season. • Combine with Nearby Attractions: Pair your visit with Beidou Old Street, Tianwei Highway Garden, or Zhutang Chinaberry Flower Sea for a delightful one-day spring trip.
