Rhododendron King Tree & Ancient Rhododendron Forest
杜鹃王树与古杜鹃林
The 'Rhododendron King' in the World Wild Ancient Rhododendron Park on Jinfo Mountain. This centuries-old tree is part of a summit where tens of thousands of wild rhododendrons bloom together in spring.
Jinfo Mountain is an important habitat for wild rhododendrons, with more than 40 species. The World Wild Ancient Rhododendron Park on the western-slope summit has groves of large tree rhododendrons more than a hundred years old. The 'Rhododendron King' stands over ten meters tall with a wide crown, and it is covered in flowers during the bloom season. Flowering runs from late April to mid-May each year, and a rhododendron festival is often held. It is included in the Jinfo Mountain ticket and can be reached on foot from the upper station of the west slope cable car. You can link it with Jinfo Temple and the cliff walkway to form a loop. Weekends during the bloom season are crowded, so visiting on a weekday is recommended.
