Yunnan jacaranda liked by ambassador

During the recent Yunnan cultural and tourist promotion in Riyadh, Chang Hua, Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia, praised the jacaranda in central Yunnan’s Kunming city. Let’s see the beauty together.

The jacaranda was first introduced into Kunming from Algeria in 1984, and the deed was done by botanists at the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After four decades of cultivation, these once-alien trees have blossomed into the city’s floral emblem.
