The Northern Hemisphere is entering the cold autumn and winter seasons, while the Southern Hemisphere is gearing up to welcome the bright and blooming spring. In Pretoria, South Africa, during October and November each year, the entire city is covered with jacaranda blossoms, like blue-purple flames, passionately and dazzlingly setting the whole city aglow with extraordinary romance.

 South Africa’s capital city, now renamed Tshwane, still retains its title as the Jacaranda City, with over 70,000 jacaranda trees planted throughout. Also known as the Brazilian jacaranda, the tree is native to tropical and subtropical regions, blooming from spring to early summer. The flowering period lasts about two months. When in full bloom, each jacaranda tree transforms into a massive bouquet of blue-purple flowers, swaying gently in the breeze, with delicate petals releasing a faint fragrance — a breathtaking beauty.

In Pretoria, there is the most beautiful jacaranda tunnel. Just as the golden ginkgo leaves create a breathtaking sight in autumn, when jacaranda flowers bloom, the sky, the ground, and everything in your line of sight will be filled with dreamy blue-purple blooms, as if you’re in an incredibly magical dream. If you want to see a different kind of autumn scenery beyond maple leaves and ginkgo in October and November, why not fly to the Southern Hemisphere and admire the beautiful jacarandas?
