Tiantai Mountain (Zhejiang Province)

The blooms Tiantai Mountain is famous for are actually Fortune's rhododendron - in Chinese known as "yunjin dujuan." The mountain has the tallest, largest and the most ancient Fortune's rhododendron in the world. Some trees date back 1,000 years and are still growing on the mountain top, 1,200 meters above sea level. Every May the mountain erupts in flower, bright yellow and pink flowers complement each other, like cloud patterns on brocade work.
