Cactus Waterfall Hidden in a Thousand-Year-Old Town, Said to Have Been Growing for Over 40 Years

Last week I went to Minghe Ancient Town in Cixi. Minghe Ancient Town is located in the south of Guanhaiwei Town, Cixi City, Ningbo City. It is a thousand-year-old town that has been developed into a tourist attraction in recent years, and it has been done quite well. There are many authentic Ningbo foods here, such as rice cake dumplings, wild vegetable rice cakes, and thousand-layer cakes, all of which are pretty good. It is just that the variety is a bit limited...

These are cherry blossoms blooming near the parking lot. Beautiful, right?

In this thousand-year-old town, I found a cactus "waterfall." It is really not easy for these cacti to grow this big. They are basically rooted in the cracks of the wall, with very little soil above.

It is said that this cactus "waterfall" has been growing for over 40 years. At first it was just a tiny plant grown in a pot, and then as time slowly passed, it has now grown into such a large patch.

It has also produced many cactus fruits.

Some people may not believe that it has been growing for over 40 years, but this is indeed true. It grows in the cracks of a wall, with no nutrients, basically relying on the weather, and grows relatively slowly. It is really not easy for it to grow into such a "waterfall."
