Live Your Best Lives
The Dajinchuan Pear Blossom and Red Leaf Scenic Area is located in the Dajinchuan River Valley. It boasts the largest spectacle of pear blossoms and red leaves on the snowy plateau, and is a nationally renowned snow pear production area. Known as the "Hometown of Snow Pear," pear trees are planted throughout the mountains, from the fertile soil of the river dam to the hillsides.
In mid-spring, in March, pear trees stretch for hundreds of miles, their white stamens covering tens of thousands of acres. The entire Jinchuan River Valley resembles a vast sea of snow, white clouds billowing in the wind. In October, the fragrance of pears fills the air, with pears hanging from the branches of thousands of trees, and the rich fragrance wafts for miles. Every November, crimson leaves stretching for over a hundred kilometers adorn the vibrant landscape of Jinchuan with a vibrant charm.
