Beijing's Dongjiao Wetland Park has become an unexpected autumn sensation as 5,000 square meters of pink muhly grass burst into full bloom, painting the landscape in vibrant rose hues. The delicate plumes create a surreal contrast against the season's golden foliage, with sunlight filtering through the feathery grass to create what visitors describe as 'a living watercolor painting.'
Local horticulturists explain that the warm-toned autumn spectacle results from careful ecological planning, blending ornamental plants with the wetland's natural ecosystem. The phenomenon has quickly become a social media favorite, attracting photographers and nature enthusiasts seeking unique seasonal vistas.
For business analysts, the bloom highlights growing opportunities in China's eco-tourism sector, while cultural observers note its alignment with urban residents' increasing demand for accessible natural spaces. The park administration has extended visiting hours through November to accommodate the surge in visitors.
