Birds revel in the beauty of camellia flowers in Yunnan

Lured by the floral aroma, birds flit and dart among the branches, skillfully dipping their beaks into the blossoms to sip nectar. Their crisp calls echo through the forest, breathing life into spring.

Since the camellia flower base opened for free on Feb 2, nearly 130,000 visitors have come to admire the blooms. The visual feast is expected to continue until mid to late March, according to local authorities.
