English Name: Huashujiao Village of Dongshan Town in Xuanwei County, Qujing

Huashujiao Village(花树脚村) is a village located at the foot of flowering trees, named after the presence of a cotton tree (scientific name: Magnolia delavayi) within the village. The flowers of this tree (花树脚) are white with a hint of pink, enchantingly colorful, and have multiple layers of petals and stamens. The flowers are large and abundant, blooming from February to March. The Yi people believe that the bark of this tree has medicinal properties and consider it a sacred tree. Efforts are currently underway to develop Huashujiao Village into a distinctive tourist destination showcasing the culture of the Yi ethnic group and the beauty of the cotton tree.
