Fringe trees bloom at the base of Queshan Mountain

More than 50 Chionanthus trees, commonly known as fringe trees, are in full bloom at the foot of Queshan Mountain in Qingzhou, a county-level city of Weifang, Shandong province. They are known for their delicate, white and fragrant flowers.

Most of the trees were planted during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) according to local historical records, with the oldest having been there over 1,000 years.
