The cherry blossoms on the Siming Bridge are in full bloom, and a self-driving route is recommended

This year the weather is still cold despite the warmth, so the cherry blossoms on Siming Mountain have been late to bloom. Today, upon revisiting Siming Mountain, I was delighted to find that the cherry blossoms around Siming Bridge and Tingxia Lake have already blossomed, turning the entire valley into a sea of flowers. If you want to take beautiful photos, set off quickly for a self-driving tour of Siming Mountain.

👉The 'hairpin bend cherry blossom valley' at Siming Bridge is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing that is very photogenic, with a free parking lot. Today, there weren't many tourists. You can go up to the viewing platform for a high vantage point, or stroll through the woods, where any shot you take is beautiful.
⚠️Now the road at the hairpin bend is not allowing parking, so you can only walk.
✅Valley near Aodi Village

Here, a large area of cherry blossoms is blooming, both on and off the road, especially the cherry blossoms below the road, which can be taken against the backdrop of the green lake or the dam, very beautiful.
✅Yantou Ancient Village
Founded in 1370, it has a history of more than 600 years. The Yancreek, a tributary of the Shanxi River, flows through the village, which is nestled against the mountain and by the water. It's relatively less known and therefore particularly tranquil, with hardly any commercialization and full of the atmosphere of daily life.

✅Secluded Manxiu Valley
This is a secluded haven hidden in a mountain valley, occupying an entire mountaintop. The colorful and luxurious little wooden houses from a forest fairy tale are both private and dreamy.
Listening to the babbling mountain springs, the chirping of cicadas and frogs, admiring the morning dew and the starry sky, it's the perfect choice for seclusion, spring outings, child-friendly activities, and vacations.
