A cactus "waterfall" appears in a thousand-year-old town, said to have been growing for over 40 years

Last week I went to play in 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 ancient town. In recent years it has been developed into a tourist attraction, 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 ancient town, I found a cactus "waterfall." It is really not easy for these cacti to grow this big. They are basically rooted in cracks in the wall, and there is very little soil above.

It is said that this cactus "waterfall" has been planted for more than 40 years. At first it was just a tiny one, planted in a pot, and later, as time slowly changed, it has now grown into such a large patch.

It has also produced many cactus fruits.

Saying that it has grown for more than 40 years may make some people disbelieve it, but this is indeed true. It grows in cracks in the wall, has little nutrition, basically lives on whatever the weather provides, and grows relatively slowly. Being able to grow into such a "waterfall" is really not easy.
