🇨🇳 🌸 Springtime Blossom in Dali
#cherryblossom2024
Nestled in the heart of China's Yunnan province, Dali emerges as a springtime paradise, enchanting travelers with its vibrant blossoms and serene landscapes. As a travel reviewer fortunate enough to wander through its picturesque streets and breathtaking surroundings, I'm thrilled to share the beauty and tranquility that Dali offers during this magical season.
🌸🌸The Spring Blossom in Dali🌸🌸
Spring in Dali is a spectacle of nature, with its climate creating the perfect stage for flowers to bloom in a riot of colors.
🌟 Dali Ancient City
At the heart of this floral wonderland lies the Dali Ancient City, a testament to the region's rich history and culture. Walking through its cobblestone streets surrounded by traditional Bai architecture, one can't help but feel transported to another era. The ancient city walls, towering gates, and old homes adorned with intricate wood carvings and vibrant paintings add to the charm of this historic town. In spring, the ancient city comes alive with the colors and fragrances of blossoming flowers, making it the perfect time to explore its cultural heritage and timeless beauty.
🌦️ Weather and What to Wear
Spring weather in Dali is pleasantly mild, with average temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F). This season brings a refreshing contrast to the region's otherwise temperate climate, with warm days and cool evenings. It's the ideal weather for outdoor activities, whether you're strolling through the ancient city, boating on Erhai Lake, or hiking in the nearby Cangshan Mountains.
Given the temperate climate, dressing in layers is advisable. Mornings and evenings can be cool, so a light jacket or sweater is essential. During the day, comfortable, breathable clothing will allow you to enjoy the warmth of the sun. Don't forget to bring comfortable walking shoes, as Dali's charm is best explored on foot. And, of course, sunglasses and sunscreen are must-haves to protect against the bright spring sun.

Cherry Blossoms Blooming in Xi’An🌸
#cherryblossom2024
📌"Giant Wild Goose Pagoda" 大雁塔
📍Address: 1 Cien Rd, Yanta District, Xi'An, Shaanxi, China, 710064
Xi'An’s warm, sunny climate makes spring a popular time of year to come and the city's colorful trees and flowers also draw tourists. Climbing the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a must-do activity for anyone who enjoys history and culture. Constructed in 625 AD during the Tang Dynasty, Monk Xuanzang utilized it to translate fundamental Buddhist texts and later kept Buddhist texts and figures. A breathtaking view of the neighboring parks can be seen from the top floor. The pagoda is more crowded at night than it is during the day, and the north square is home to Asia's largest fountain.

Address - SAii Phi Phi Village
Ambiance/Facilities - Amazing property with beautiful beachfront, spacious and clean villas, staff hospitality. Seafood dinner buffet was awesome. Thanks to Khun Chao for ensuring the utmost comfortable stay with minimal hiccup.
Highlights - The Discovery Center and attempts by the resort to reduce its impact on the reefs and the effort being put to work with the local community and Marine national park to preserve the nature of Phi Phi island.
Room Type - 2-Bedroom Bungalow
Rating - 8/10
Getting there - Flight to Krabi or Phuket. The resort provides joined and private transfer service from both Krabi and Phuket, or could use outside ferry transfee for a better deal.

Definitely suggest at least 2 nights as the place is quite isolated, a bit of travel.

A hundred year old westeria tree.
One of the best places to view wisteria flowers is the Ashikaga Flower Park in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture. Ashikaga Flower Park features lots of blue, white and pink wisteria, as well as yellow laburnum which look like yellow colored wisteria.
One large wisteria tree is 100 years old and its branches are supported to create a huge umbrella of blue wisteria flowers. There is also a long tunnel of white wisteria flowers, while a tunnel of yellow kingusari needs a few more years to become an actual tunnel.

Chaoshan - A Lovely Scenic Spring Spot ⛰️🌸
Chaoshan Scenic spot is a lovely spring spot for blossoms. The park is massive and seems to have gotten better! You can now rent tent spaces and have your own picnic there. There’s now a cafe/restaurant near the Plum blossom museum which opens at 10 am. They have indoor & outdoor seats. I had my breakfast there and got a hot chocolate and a cheese croissant 🥐 for 52¥. Unfortunately I went on a day when the weather was quite dull, cold & windy, but during sunny weather days the park is full of visitors. You may want to go early. I reached at around 8.30 am and there was barely anyone around. There’s also a big area with tents selling food & entertainment for kids. It’s surely a family-friendly place 👨👩👧👦 The best time to see the blossoms is end of February to beginning of March. I went mid-march this year and most of the blossoms already fell off.
The entrance 🎟️ is usually 10¥, but it was free when I went (Mid-march).Opening hours 🕰️ : 8am - 5pm . I went by taxi 🚕 from Heyu Road line 9 🚇 station. The ride was about 20 - 25 mins.

Bond with Nature in Qingjing Farm
#celebratewithtrip #cherryblossoms #springblossoms Ever wonder where you can see the beauty of cherry blossoms outside Japan? Well, worry not! For the next spring holiday you can go to Qingjing Farm in Nantou county! Their cherry blossoms also bloom earlier (around the beginning of February). Just make sure you go on a bright sunny day otherwise the scenery will not be as beautiful. At the farm you can interact with the lambs as well as feeding them! It's super beautiful and feels like you're in Swiss instead of Taiwan!
The ticket is also cheaper if you're student! I think it's the most beautiful farm view and sakura in Taiwan
When Flower is everywhere 🌹💐🌸🌺🌼🌻🌷
Hong Kong Flower Show is an annual exhibition held by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) of Hong Kong.
I read that from 1968 to 1986, a similar event was held by Urban Council and Regional Council separately. Since 1987 both councils jointly held the event with the location alternating between Victoria Park and Sha Tin Central Park. In 2000, the Hong Kong government decided to change the organizer to the newly-established LCSD, and the location was fixed to be Victoria Park, and it is held every March.
This event is an attraction for onlookers and photographers. Every year with different themes, many kinds of flowers, even some rare ones. The booth from parties is also an interesting part to see.

Serene Boat Ride In Hangzhou
West Lake is one of my favorite places in Hangzhou because it simply feels as if you’ve been transported into a fairytale from the second you arrive. The area is absolutely stunning and there is so much to see and do!
As you walk along the lake; you’ll see a group of boats wading on the edge of the river. Take one of these for a ride past the lotus flowers, you will be so glad you did. 🌸

The most beautiful flower location in Japan
The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival is held each year from early February to early March in the city of Kawazu, located on the Izu Peninsula.
Visiting here felt like being transported into a fairytale. The beauty of the flowers in full bloom was absolutely breathtaking. We traveled here by car from Tokyo near the beginning of March. The flowers were in full bloom and truly stunning. If you are visiting Japan, it is definitely worth adding this stop to your itinerary.

Nanjing botanical Garden in Zhongshan mountain is a best place to visit during the spring 🌸🌷🌹. I took this pictures in mid of March. Tulip blossom will be in March and early April. Entrance fee for each person is 45 RMB 💴 and purchase with Alipay or Wechat from entrance. Now due to the pandemic health code and travel code is must for entering the garden.
Getting there : Nearest metro station 🚇 is Muxuyuan line 2 which is 1,6 km away from the botanical Garden. Follow the sign for exit 1. Sightseeing buses are available or can take the paid cycles. Cycling will not be easy since it is uphill.

Hangzhou’s Botanical Garden 🌸
After several recommendations, I took myself to the botanical garden for spring blossoms. I was a bit disappointed as there were very few blossoms and some of them were already dry. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a rejuvenating place or somewhere for a picnic, that’s spot on!
My favourite was the potted plants garden with beautifully displayed bonsaï plants. If you wander in the little forest with the wooden pathway running through it, you’ll witness a tranquil atmosphere with fresh air and a light breeze 🍃. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the crowd was there, but fortunately, nothing overwhelming. The garden is so wide that you can easily find a corner to be with your friends or by yourself.
How to go ➡️ I took a taxi 🚕 from Wulin Square metro station 🚇 (武林广场地铁站). The ride was about 30-40 mins. (The roads around the botanical garden were congested especially on the weekends)
Entrance 🎟 ➡️ 10¥
