The Zhangxi Cherry Blossom Garden on the Siming Mountain at an altitude of 800 meters is ushering in the best viewing period in April as the cherry blossoms bloom on schedule.
进入四月,位于四明山海拔800米的杖锡樱花园内,樱花如期盛开,迎来了最佳观赏期。
With cherry blossoms covering the mountains and plains, the garden becomes a magnificent sea of flowers that attracts many tourists to take photos.
樱花漫山遍野,形成一片烂漫花海,蔚为壮观,吸引了不少游客前去打卡。
The Zhangxi Cherry Blossom Garden has planted 103 varieties of cherry blossoms. Due to the relatively high temperature and sufficient sunlight in the winter of last year, this year's cherry blossoms entered the flowering period about 10 days earlier than usual.
The Zhangshui Township Cherry Blossom Festival begins under the blossoming cherry flowers. Unlike previous years, visitors to the garden can not only appreciate the romantic and beautiful cherry blossoms but also enjoy various amusement facilities with their children.
The best viewing period of the Zhangxi cherry blossoms lasts until the end of April. Then, the azaleas take over as they start to flower, and the scenes can last until the end of May. After that, the lilies planted under the cherry blossom trees will bloom, and the flowering period can last until August.
