Kai'pua (Kayfa) system: a day that lasts a century, and the flower that blooms once every hundred years

Kai’pua is a pilgrimage destination for the Xi’an. Under the Messers, it was one of their most heavily fortified systems, a sign of its cultural importance. Its best-known export: the Centennial Bloom, a plant that blossoms for just one night every hundred years.
