⚠️Flower Viewing Tips:
1. The pear blossom season is short, so choose the right time. Don't go too early when the flowers haven't bloomed, or too late when they've withered.
2. The temperature in western Sichuan in March is low, so bring down jackets and windbreakers to stay warm.
3. Be sure to bring sunglasses and a scarf, as the UV rays are strong in western Sichuan.
4. When taking photos, protect the environment. Don't pick pear blossoms, trample on farmland, and be a responsible tourist.
