Clusters of jacaranda flowers are in full bloom like soft clouds of blue and violet swaying in the wind, adding a touch of "romantic purple" to Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province.

In the bustling city center lies a quiet lane famous for its jacaranda trees. Their beautiful flowers grace the streets and decorate residential areas, parks, and campuses across the city.
