The breathtaking spring blossoms in provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan are drawing crowds of visitors, transforming rural landscapes into popular tourist destinations and boosting local economies.
In recent days, hundreds of hectares of plum trees in Tangbian Town, Pingtang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, have entered full bloom. The snow-white blossoms blanket the hillsides, creating a stunning spring spectacle.
"The vast stretch of snow-white blossoms, with their delicate fragrance, truly lifts my spirits," said tourist Xiong Qinqin.
With the rise of flower tourism, many visitors not only come to admire the blossoms in spring but also return in autumn to purchase fresh plums. This seasonal cycle has helped Tangbian Town attract tourists in the blooming season while boosting farmers' incomes during harvest time.
Elsewhere, similar floral spectacles are drawing visitors. In the Baping Terraces in Mangchang town, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, golden rapeseed flowers stretch across nearly 6,266 hectares, creating waves of yellow against the backdrop of traditional villages and winding field ridges. Tourists wander through the fields, enjoying the beauty of spring.
The county's crop rotation model of rice paddies and rapeseed enhances soil quality while promoting rural tourism, achieving both ecological and economic benefits.
In Kaiyuan City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, the yellow bell trees have entered peak bloom. Their golden blossoms adorn the branches, transforming the landscape into a dazzling golden sea of flowers. Visitors and locals alike are drawn to the spectacle.
In recent years, the region has embraced a tourism model combining cooperatives, businesses, blooming flowers and rural scenery, injecting vitality into the local economy.
