As spring unfolds in the warmer parts of China, particularly regions south of the Yangtze River, breathtaking floral displays -- from golden rapeseed fields and cherry blossoms to plum and mango flowers -- are painting the landscapes in vibrant hues.
In Longnan City, located at the southernmost tip of northwest China's Gansu Province, spring has arrived in full swing.
Blessed with a unique geography and a mild climate, Longnan boasts around 2,666 hectares of rapeseed flowers now in full bloom.
The golden fields stretch along the terraces and gentle slopes of the Bailong River and Baishui River valleys, creating a stunning contrast against the surrounding mountains.
From a distance, the flowers resemble a golden staircase carpeting the hills, while a helicopter view reveals a picturesque landscape of blossoms, rivers, and villages.
In Ledong Township of east China's Jiangxi Province, cherry trees are in full bloom across a high-altitude tea plantation.
The blossoms, ranging from deep pink to soft white, are scattered among the tea fields, creating a vibrant, oil painting-like scene. The air is filled with the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms and the fresh aroma of tea, drawing tourists to capture the beauty of spring.
"It's incredibly dreamy and enchanting. We've come here to take photos, hoping to capture the spring scenery here," said Kang Yi, a tourist.
"Every year, this place attracts many tourists who come to admire the scenery. We aim to integrate agriculture and tourism to boost local tourism development and increase farmers' income," said Zhu Tailin, government staff member of Ledong Township.
In Changxing County of east China's Zhejiang Province, the Taihu Lake Plum Blossom Expo Park just makes itself a popular scenic spot.
Around 133 hectares of plum trees there have burst into full bloom, covering the valleys in shades of pink and white.
After a spring rain, the falling petals resemble a blanket of pink snow, while an aerial view reveals the plum forest stretching like a ribbon through the green mountains.
In Jingzhou City of central China's Hubei Province, the Qianshan Forest Art Park is home to tens of hectares of cherry blossoms.
The trees, adorned with blossoms in various shades, create a dreamy atmosphere as visitors stroll along the cherry blossom paths, capturing photos and enjoying the scenery of a perfect spring.
The blooming season generally runs from early March to late April in the city
In Baise City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, mango trees are in full bloom, covering the hillsides with layers of pale yellow flowers.
Farmers are busy tending to the trees, spraying foliar fertilizers to ensure a high fruit-setting rate and a stable yield.
The mango demonstration area, spanning around 1,266 hectares, has become a cornerstone of local economic development.
Through labor employment, mango sales, and the promotion of new flora varieties and technologies, the industry has benefited approximately 15,000 locals.
