Heilongtan Park is a famous landscape plum garden in China. There are more than 15,000 plum blossoms, more than 5,000 potted plants, and a total of more than 200 plum blossom varieties. The annual Plum Blossom Festival has become a famous flower brand for citizens to enjoy plum blossoms in spring.

Currently, the wintersweets in Heilongtan Park have begun to bloom. In the bonsai garden, more than 30 exquisite pots of wintersweets are blooming one after another, and the faint fragrance is wafting in the breeze. In the wintersweet garden, more than 200 clusters of wintersweet branches are intertwined. , the branches are full of yellow flowers. According to the relevant person in charge of Heilongtan Park, the wintersweet leaves can fall off automatically at low temperatures, revealing the classic wintersweet landscape with only branches. The brown branches set off the yellow and white flowers, which is gorgeous and elegant. The low temperature in Kunming cannot meet the requirements for natural shedding, so the wintersweet grown in Heilongtan Park generally requires manual picking of leaves to complete this process. In addition to wintersweet, seasonal plants such as red maple and ginkgo in Heilongtan Park are also in their best viewing period.
