Preface

Spring water is just beginning to flow, spring forests are just beginning to flourish, and the spring breeze is nothing compared to you. March is another season of lush grass and blooming flowers. Are you ready to step into such a romantic season?

Cherry blossoms are a gift from spring, and this spring, the most anticipated thing is to enjoy a cherry blossom feast. When it comes to cherry blossoms covering the mountains, many people will think of Mount Yoshino in Nara, Japan. However, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, Japan cannot be visited. So let us discover the wild cherry blossoms blooming in the mountains and forests around us and enjoy the cherry blossoms together online.

//"Cherry Blossom Valley" near Lushilingtou Village, Dongyang City

Dongyang Lushiling Cherry Blossom Valley

I have to thank my high school friend for discovering Dongyang's "Cherry Blossom Valley". One day in early March 2017, she suggested going to her hometown to dig spring bamboo shoots, so the three of us drove there excitedly. Following Provincial Highway 211 (Zhudong Line), after arriving at Lushiling Village, we unexpectedly discovered white and light pink wild cherry blossoms blooming in the mountains and forests beside the road. They bloomed in no particular order among the mountains and forests, but the branches were very pretty, densely covered with flowers. When it was sunny, they were bright and brilliant like brocade clouds, and when it rained, they were delicate and gorgeous, like a fairyland.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the more vibrant the blossoms become, and the more beautiful the spring scenery. The cherry blossoms here are all naturally grown, with single petals. Looking out, you can see distant mountains covered in dark blue, patches of pink and white, and the branches are densely covered with blossoms.

In addition, the yellow sassafras flowers, white magnolias and many other tree flowers whose names are unknown have transformed the originally plain forest into a colorful granite, which is very prosperous.

We stopped the car several times, drawn to the blossoms, to admire them carefully. Growing in the mountains, these flowers are truly a miracle gift from nature.

There are countless gorgeous flowers in the world, but only the blooming cherry blossoms feel explosive and stunning, just like a girl who always wears light makeup suddenly dresses up to go out, making people look at her sideways, as if she is a fairy descending from heaven.

Best time to view cherry blossoms

The wild cherry blossoms only bloom for about 10 days, around early March each year, and bloom earlier when the weather is warmer.
