When it comes to Huangshan, Anhui, the most famous one must be the "welcoming pine" growing on the cliffs. It has also been listed in Chinese textbooks because of its "perseverance". Recently, according to the @ Guangguang video report, the welcome pines in Huangshan have blossomed. They are golden. From afar, they look like wearing golden armor , which is really beautiful.

It is understood that the flowering period of Huangshan pine is from early April to early June every year. Tourists can see the golden scenery on the tree crown.
Pinus taiwanensis is a monoecious gymnospermous plant. Therefore, it can not only blossom, but also be divided into female and male cones. The cones are diverse in color, and will change with the flowering period. The newly born male cones are red and yellow, and gradually become golden yellow and finally become yellowish brown .
The female Strobil appeared a little later. It was born near the top of the new branch and was as slender as a finger. When the pollen was mature and pollinated, the female Strobil would rapidly grow into an egg shaped cone, it would take about 2 years for the cone to mature , and gradually turn brown during this period, which is the common pine cone.
The blooming of the welcome pine not only added beautiful scenery to the tourism of Huangshan, but also effectively fought back the rumors on the Internet that the welcome pine was a "fake tree".
