Qingjing Little Switzerland Garden has prepared 15,000 macaron-colored windmills for park decorations this year. Carefully selected flower-shaped windmills were paired with macaron hues to create uniquely designed installations that blend with the garden’s goldfish flowers and angel flowers, forming a vibrant floral world. Highlights include a 2,000-plus-windmill “Welcome Avenue” serving as an entrance feature, a 50-meter-long “Spinning Macaron Lakeside Path” made up of over 5,000 windmills, and a yellow windmill flower sea composed of 1,314 yellow windmills set against a European-style pavilion backdrop to create a romantic scene. Other features include a crescent-shaped “Windmill Wooden Bridge” and various macaron-hued windmill flower zones.
