A vibrant cascade of orange flowers has turned a residential building in Weifang, Shandong Province, into a summer sensation! 🌞 The Chinese trumpet creeper (lingxiao) has spent two decades scaling the five-story facade, and this year, its fiery blooms are stealing the show. Locals say the vine’s trumpet-shaped flowers create a ‘natural curtain’ that dazzles everyone who passes by.
