There is a five-story-high waterfall of bougainvillea with white staircases behind it. No matter which floor you are at, simply a causal snapshot beneath the floral cascade can capture the most beautiful and romantic scenery of a summer day in Spring City. 

Currently, it is the blooming season for bougainvillea, and the five-story-high bougainvillea on Yinghai Road in Kunming has become a sensation. Clusters of bougainvillea cling to the exterior walls of buildings, cascading down like a waterfall or resembling a misty haze. Just a fleeting glance at the street corner is enough to feel the full summer vibe. This vibrant waterfall of flowers blooms one after another, densely packed, and when the wind blows, they look like waves of magenta flowers rolling in a green sea. Such a beautiful bougainvillea waterfall attracts many citizens and tourists to take photos. Especially when standing on the stairs, the contrast of magenta flowers against the white buildings creates a stunning picture. Additionally, the bougainvillea spilling over the walls nearby looks even more dazzling and fiery under the midday sun.

Residents in the neighborhood said these bougainville vines have been growing exuberantly on this wall for over 10 years. The bougainville bloosoms on schedule every summer, becoming an enchanting scenery in the alley.
