Live Your Best Lives
Jiufeng Town, located in Lechang County, Shaoguan City, northern Guangdong Province, boasts picturesque scenery, outstanding people, and a vibrant landscape. Within its borders, peaks and valleys rise one after another. In March, spring arrives with a gentle breeze, and peach, pear, and rape blossoms fill the mountain streams and houses. The ten-mile long corridor of peach-red and white-flowered trees meanders through the lush mountains and waters, sometimes leaning against the mountainside and sometimes beside the water, shrouded in mist and clouds, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Unconsciously, one enters a dreamscape of "peach blossoms trying on new looks, enjoying the romance of youth."
I like the artistic conception of Jiufeng Peach Garden. Unlike the overwhelming peach forests in other places, the peach forest here is like an exquisite painting with well-arranged layout.
From a distance, although it looks like mountains and fields, there is no ostentatious display of color, but rather a tranquil simplicity; peach blossoms, plum blossoms, and pear blossoms are in full bloom, red, white, yellow (with rape blossoms dotted among them), and green, in brilliant colors, interspersed with gray tiled houses scattered among them, what a pastoral painting.
The best time to see flowers in Jiufeng is from the end of February to the beginning of March. The weather may vary slightly. The best time to see peach, plum and rape blossoms in Jiufeng is from the end of February to March 6. Jiufeng holds the Peach Blossom Festival on March 6 every year.
