Nyingchi was once named "China's Most Beautiful Spring" by China National Geographic. Bomi's 30-kilometer-long pink corridor, with glaciers in the distance and the picturesque Suosong Village, faces Mount Namjagbarwa.
Snow-capped mountains, peach blossoms, holy lakes, glaciers, forests, and countryside, from the Langqiu Glacier to the Renlongba Glacier; from Lulang, the little Switzerland of the East, to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, even Tsangyang Gyatso’s poems cannot express one tenth of this romance!
Peach blossoms are at their peak at the end of March! Miss it and wait a year!

Huizhou is a flower-viewing destination recommended by CCTV!
In March, Shitan Village, located at an altitude of 600 meters, is covered with a carpet of rapeseed flowers, and 372 Yangchan earthen buildings are hung on the mountainside.
Ancient Huizhou-style houses are dotted on both sides of the river amidst the verdant mountains and clear waters. Boarding a boat and sailing through the Xin'an River, known as the "Danube of the East," is like stepping into the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" painting.

Compared to Lijiang and Dali, this place has 90% fewer tourists! Round-trip tickets cost over 1,000 yuan, and you can also enjoy cycling through the rapeseed flowers in Jietou, check in at Heshun Ancient Town, and enjoy a bowl of Tengchong bean noodles to soothe your soul.

The Pingba cherry blossoms in Guizhou are the world's largest! From mid-March to early April each year, the 24,000-acre sea of cherry blossoms is breathtakingly beautiful. From a drone's perspective, it looks like a spilled pink paint palette.
Baili Rhododendron, Ma Ying Rhododendron and Luzhu Rhododendron explode into "flames" of continuous mountains from late March to April, and the name of the Earth Ribbon is well-deserved!
When you come to Guizhou, you certainly can’t miss the hike through the rapeseed flower fields in Mugang. When you first arrive in Mugang, you might think you’ve been to Luoping. Mountains stand tall among the vast sea of flowers, like isolated islands in the midst of it.
