The Enigmatic "Stinkless" Stinkweed Blooms of Maojiapu

#chinatravel While its name suggests otherwise, the Clerodendrum bungei(aka "Stinky Peony") at Maojiapu surprises visitors with: ✓ Vibrant pink clusters that photograph like watercolor strokes ✓ Zero actual odor despite its dramatic nickname ✓ Two prime viewing spots: 1. Ancient Incense Trail entrance (near Yanggong Causeway) 2. Tongli Old Bridge area (some withered blooms add moody texture) 📍 Location: Maojiapu, West Lake (Free, open 24/7)
