In Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, rape flowers have been blooming in the plain; In Nyingchi, Tibet, peach blossoms and snow capped mountains and glaciers add radiance to each other, and the end of the month will usher in the best viewing period; In Toksun County, Xinjiang, ten thousand mu of apricot flowers are in bud

Among them, "Bijie in Guizhou", "Wuyuan in Jiangxi", "Wuhan in Hubei", "Chengdu in Sichuan", "Nyingchi in Tibet", and "Yili in Xinjiang" are popular destinations.

Take the "Hundred Mile Azalea" in Bijie, Guizhou as an example. The scenic spot is named after the 125.8 square kilometers of original azalea forest belt, and is a national 5A tourist attraction. On March 21, the scenic spot will officially enter the flower season, which is expected to last until late April. In order to better user experience, the scenic spot will use time-sharing booking to enter the park this year, and tickets purchased on Meituan and other platforms can be used for three consecutive days.

It is expected that this year's passenger flow will have a good growth," said the relevant person in charge of the scenic spot.

Not only the scenery in the distance, but also the city parks and surrounding areas are worth exploring in spring.

Guangzhou is one of the first cities to enter spring. At present, the 3.2 km Bauhinia Flower Corridor in Haizhu Wetland Park is a grand sight that cannot be missed in Guangzhou; In Shanghai in March, tulips ushered in the best viewing period and became a popular place to enjoy flowers on weekends; In Beijing, more than 5000 magnolias in the International Sculpture Park also ushered in the best flower appreciation period... The reporter learned that this spring's flower appreciation tour is characterized by a "combination of long and short". Medium and long term flower appreciation tours of more than 5 days and local and surrounding short trips of less than 3 days are favored by tourists.

　 "Night Flower Appreciation" and "Boat Flower Appreciation" travel experience diversification

In the spring of 2024, there will be more and more ways to enjoy flowers. Many ways, such as "flower appreciation at night", "boat flower appreciation", will give tourists a different travel experience in spring.

At night, all the colored lights in Chengdu Manhua Manor are on. As the "Cherry Blossom Sea in Chengdu" and the "Cherry Blossom Appreciation Site in Chengdu" praised by the whole network, Chengdu Manhua Manor has become a popular scenic spot in Chengdu for flower appreciation. At present, Manshan Cherry Blossom is in full bloom. On the beauty group platform, thousands of night tickets have been sold in the scenic spot. According to Yang Yu, the marketing director of the scenic spot, considering that many citizens have to work and go to school during the day, the scenic spot held the first "Night Cherry Festival" last year, and this year the scenic spot added activities such as playing iron flowers and dragon dance. By the end of March, the opening hours of the scenic spot will be extended to 21 o'clock, adding nearly 30 hours of flower appreciation time for citizens every week. "It is estimated that the tourist flow of the scenic spot on a single day of the Tomb Sweeping Day will be about 30000, and 100000 person times will be exceeded in the three days of the Tomb Sweeping Day."

In Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake, Wuxi, tourists can take ferries or water cruises to enjoy the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms reflected on the lake. As one of the most famous cherry viewing places in China, Yuantouzhu has opened a panoramic "water, land and air" cherry viewing mode. In addition to land tours, it has also launched ferries and special lines on water. In addition, scenic spots with water resources such as East Lake in Wuhan, West Lake in Hangzhou, Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, and Slender West Lake in Yangzhou all provide travel services by boat to enjoy flowers, so that tourists can enjoy a variety of spring outings.

The reporter noticed that in order to facilitate the travel of tourists, the Meituan Platform for Flower Appreciation Scenic Spot has a special page card of "Flower Appreciation Information", which indicates the flowering period of different flowers in the park, and recommends the "best place for flower appreciation" in the scenic spot. The "flower tour" has also driven the increase of accommodation orders around the country. Taking Wuhan, Hubei Province as an example, according to Meituan data, as of March 18, the advance booking of accommodation in Wuhan this weekend (March 22-24) has increased by 150% year on year, and will welcome many tourists from outside Changsha, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, Nanchang and other provinces.

"Our flower appreciation tour has been receiving tourists recently," said a travel agency in Chengdu. At present, the short trip flower appreciation tour in the province is more popular. On the Tomb sweeping Day holiday, flower appreciation will become the focus of travel, and the spring flower appreciation tour has just "kicked off".
