Crateva religiosa, a deciduous tree of the Rutaceae family, is native to tropical regions and blooms around the time of the Qingming Festival, transitioning from pure white to goose yellow. During full bloom, the trees are filled with flowers, creating a spectacular sight with blossoms resembling cascading clouds.

In the Yuntai Garden of Baiyun Mountain, Crateva religiosa flowers planted in 1994 are in full bloom, resembling layered "flower towers" when viewed from afar. Inside the Oriental Resort Guangzhou, several Crateva religiosa trees encircling the lake are also in full bloom, complementing the shimmering lake waters and painting a serene picture at water's edge.

The Crateva religiosa trees at the Songbei Cooperative in Songzhou sub-district are also in full bloom. They are believed to have been brought back and replanted from Southeast Asia long ago. Now flourishing, they exude a unique charm, with two blooming Crateva religiosa trees forming a golden corridor.

To best capture the beauty of the Crateva religiosa flowers, visitors are encouraged to wear long light-colored dresses and take photos on the lush green lawns. However, it is important to note that the bark and fruit of Crateva religiosa trees are toxic, so it is important to maintain a safe distance for viewing and avoid touching the branches or plant secretions.
