Gentle breezes stir the swaying spikes of purple blooms, creating rolling waves of color that blend harmoniously with distant moving trains and modern skyscrapers — a breathtaking urban floral tableau.

Many residents and visitors flock to the park for the flowers, capturing memories with cameras and basking in this early summer purple romance.
