Known as "Meirenmei" in Chinese, the Prunus × blireana cv. Meiren, which blooms in spring, is a hybrid flower. They have red leaves and their flowers are larger than common plum blossoms. In Beijing Botanical Garden, these flowers are at their full bloom, attracting many visitors. 

Beijing Botanical Garden, located on the northwest outskirts of Beijing, is one of the most popular parks in the city and is home to thousands of plants. 

About 'City of Wild'

Nature is not limited to faraway mountains and oceans, it also exists in urban cities and our daily lives. In the series, "City of Wild," CGTN not only unfolds a world of wildlife you were probably not aware of, but also highlights the theme of this year's CBD COP 15: Ecological Civilization: Building a Shared Future for All Life on Earth.
