A 10-kilometer-long road in Leshan City, southwest China's Sichuan Province, distinguished by its harmonious integration of a natural flower sea and a creative graffiti wall, has gone viral online and emerged as a popular destination for both local residents and visitors.

The wall by the highway linking Leshan's districts of Shizhong and Shawan is covered with bougainvillea or paper flowers in full bloom. Clusters of bright magenta blossoms cascade the wall, on which are colorful graffiti artworks.
The view has attracted a steady stream of tourists, all coming to snap pictures and mark their visit.
"It's our first time here. We passed by before and saw the landscape here was pretty, so today we came with friends to check it out," said Xu Shanfeng, a tourist.
