Are These Azaleas?

 In the Suzhou Industrial Park, they've put a lot of effort into the landscaping.   They sidewalks are for the most part bordered with trees on one side and hedges on the other.  Several weeks ago, the trees blossomed and I was able to pick out that there were cherries, plums, magnolias, and crab apples.

In just the past week or so, the hedges have started to bloom.   With a vengence they've bloomed.  They form a trail of purple that goes on for miles at some points.  And the air is heavy with the smell of flowers.  (either that, or it's the smell of a chemical spill.)
It's very pretty.  I'm thinking these are azaleas, but I'm not sure. Answer anyone?
