Vibrant flower-themed events are captivating tourists across China, offering immersive experiences amid breathtaking spring blossoms.

Rural Beijing's pear blossoms, in their delicate beauty, have become a recent draw for visitors seeking natural charm.

"After arriving here, I found this place even more beautiful than in the pictures," said a visitor.

The city has organized a variety of flower-themed events, including bazaars, camping, artistic performances, and interactive activities, to the delight of visitors.

"During the activities we have organized for the flower-viewing season, we have launched events tailored to different settings, including grasslands and parent-child activities, to make the flower-viewing experience more engaging and interactive," said Duan Shengnan, employee of residents' activity center in Panggezhuang Town of Daxing District in Beijing.

In Qingdao, located in east China's Shandong Province, a magnificent display of cherry and peach blossoms is in full bloom, enchanting visitors and photographers with its breathtaking beauty.

"As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing! I brought my friends here, and every picture we take turns out perfect!" said Du Qinlu, a local resident.

At the same time, a variety of events are underway, including a cherry blossom festival and a special bazaar. Among the highlights is a Hanfu-themed park tour, which has attracted numerous visitors beautifully adorned in traditional Chinese attire.

"I wear Hanfu because I like this kind of clothing and I think it is a good way to promote traditional Chinese culture, which makes me feel confident," said Li Zijia, a visitor.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Saturday that nuclear power plant sites or nearby areas must never be attacked, following a fourth strike near an Iranian nuclear power plant.

The IAEA said on social platform X that, according to the information from Iran, a projectile hit the nearby area of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday morning. This was the fourth such incident in recent weeks, it said.

One staff member at the site was killed by a projectile fragment, while a building on the site was affected by shockwaves and fragments, the IAEA said, citing the Iranian authorities. There was no increase in radiation levels reported, it added.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed his deep concern about the incident, stressing that nuclear power plant sites or nearby areas "must never be attacked." He warned that the auxiliary site buildings may contain vital safety equipment.

Grossi once again stressed the paramount importance of ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict, calling for maximum military restraint to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident.

Iran's nuclear facilities have been struck several times since the joint Israeli-U.S. military actions against the Islamic Republic started on Feb. 28.
