Meanwhile, magnolia flowers have been blooming in Shanghai recently, heralding the imminent arrival of spring.
The blossoming time of the flower this year is slightly later than usual due to the city's average low temperatures in January, experts said.
The best time to appreciate the flower is expected to be early March.
The flower has bloomed at the Shanghai Botanical Garden, Jinqiao Park and the Sanlin Binjiang green area.
