The season of winter doesn't necessarily mean dropped temperatures and frigid winds.

In Xiamen, a coastal city in East China's Fujian province, visitors can hardly find any traces of the winter as most plants in the city are still green.

Recently, cypress trees in city areas including Yuanboyuan and Nanhu park have entered the best viewing period in a year, adding splashes of red.

Xiamen, dubbed the "Garden on the Sea" is surely an ideal destination for a seasonal get-away. Following are some pictures depicting its winter views.
