China's Top Blossom-Viewing Spots: Yellow, Pink, Red, and White Dominate Spring

How long has it been since you last went out?

How much do you miss the world outside?

Before you know it, March has arrived.

After being cooped up for so long,

I casually opened the window and was greeted by a burst of blossoms.

It turns out spring is really right before our eyes.

Heine said: What winter takes from here,
spring will return to you.
No matter how lonely and harsh the winter, come March,
it all turns into a bright and lovely sight,
as if darkness had never been.
Grass grows, orioles fly, rain falls like butter,
a hundred flowers bloom in a riot of color…
This is China’s March sky,
the flowers are all in full bloom!
This spring scenery is simply mouthwatering!

▲ If you can’t be there in person for now,

then feast your eyes on this!

The most beautiful March days are filled with blooming flowers and lingering charm.

Some say it’s because March fills the world with fragrance

that Bai Juyi wrote, “All flowers have withered by April.”

March in China belongs to all kinds of blossoms—

red, yellow, white, pink…

It feels like a rising force,

bringing all the beauty of the world right before your eyes.

March holds a cherry blossom wish

for everyone!

Dense cherry blossom petals fall from the sky,

Romanticizing the entire spring,

Healing weariness, awakening the girlish heart.

The cherry blossoms at Wuhan University must be in full bloom by now.

I really wish I could go and enjoy a cherry blossom rain with you there.

Looking up, it’s a beautiful paradise; looking down, it’s a lively world.

I missed the chance this year—how about next year?

Recommended spots for flower viewing: Wuhan University, Jiming Temple, Yuantouzhu.

Everyone’s March

should include a pastoral dream, one with rapeseed flowers!

That’s the vast rapeseed flower fields of Wuyuan,

blooming into an endless sea of blossoms,

nestled among the rolling hills—

what a picture of spring in the Jiangnan countryside!

That’s the bellwether of spring in China—

in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, a tide of blossoms is brewing.

Flower fields, farmhouses, homes…

It feels like the most peaceful time has arrived.

It was at the Jiangling ten-thousand-mu terraced fields,

with snow-white pear blossoms and pink peach blossoms in front and behind the houses,

paired with golden rape flowers,

making this the most special place in spring.

The beauty of March

Is nothing but a ten-mile peach forest, with lush leaves.

The human face knows not where to go, yet the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how the times change,

Spring cannot do without the beauty of peach blossoms,

They bloom with purity, and also with passion.

If there is a “Peach Blossom Land” on earth,

it must be Nyingchi in March.

The white of snowy mountains, the blue of the Nyang River,

the green of the meadows, the red of peach blossoms…

No matter how beautiful the words, they can’t compare to Nyingchi in March.

▲ Nyingchi, Tibet

Recommended flower-viewing spots: Nyingchi, Tibet; Changde, Hunan; Longquanyi, Chengdu.

March’s beauty can’t miss the stunning sight of thousands of pear trees in bloom!
Unlike the colors of peach and rapeseed flowers, pear blossoms look so delicate and pitiful that people often use “pear blossoms in the rain” to describe a beauty shedding tears.

Pear blossoms at Jinchuan in western Sichuan are less poetic but more rustic and idyllic. River valleys, Tibetan villages, and pear blossoms—everyone who comes here is greeted by a trail of blooming flowers all the way!

▲ Danba Jinchuan

Recommended flower-viewing spots: Danba Jinchuan in Sichuan, and Anning Bajie in Yunnan.
