On September 14th, 1984, the elegant and stately camellia was selected as the City Flower of Ningbo and the evergreen camphor tree was selected as the City Tree in the 8th Conference of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Ningbo. Both the camellia and the camphor tree are local plants well representing the historical culture and natural appearance of Ningbo. In addition, the bright and colorful camellia and camphor tree are easy to plant and control and immune to many diseases. At present, the camellia and the camphor tree are widely planted throughout the city, and thus form gorgeous roadside scenery in Ningbo
