Fangchenggang Golden Camellia, the "Giant Panda" of the Plant World, Limited-Time Appreciation

In Fangchenggang, Guangxi, there is a "hidden treasure" waiting for you to unlock—the Golden Camellia. This little yellow flower, known as the "Queen of the Tea Family," is a "living fossil" in the plant world and a "beauty icon" in the tea circle. Over 95% of the world's wild Golden Camellia grows here, making it the true "city flower" of Fangchenggang. It has also earned the title of "Hometown of China's Golden Camellia" and was upgraded in 2021 to a national second-level key protected wild plant. The beauty of the Golden Camellia is a visual knockout! The petals are crystal clear and glossy, as if coated with beeswax, breathtakingly beautiful when held up to the light. The buds are plump, with layers of petals in various shapes—sometimes like a small teacup, sometimes like a jade wine pot—each flower a natural work of art. When the breeze blows, a delicate fragrance spreads, enchanting even the little bees and birds. Moreover, the Golden Camellia is not only for viewing but also for drinking! It contains over 400 kinds of nutritional essences, with unique value in regulating blood lipids and blood sugar. In Fangchenggang, you can brew tea to savor its fresh and sweet taste or cook soup to enjoy its nutritious flavor. Come to Fangchenggang for a mountain and sea rendezvous, find a cup of Golden Camellia, and experience this unique natural charm!
