Bauhinia is the city flower of Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there is a story about Bauhinia: 100 years ago, Hong Kong residents struggled to resist the British invasion, making countless martyrs die heroically.

Later, people built a big tomb in Guijiao Mountain to bury the dead martyrs. Later, a tree with purple flowers grew on Guijiao Mountain, especially around Tomb-Sweeping Day, so people named it Bauhinia to commemorate those martyrs who died.
