Spring has come to most parts of northwestern China now as well. A dazzling array of flowers has burst into bloom in the Yinchuan Flower Expo Garden in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, luring visitors outdoors to soak in the season's breathtaking beauty.
The garden in Yinchuan, capital of Ningxia, features exhibition areas representing 40 cities and regions across the country. It showcases in particular a variety of local flowers, including purple-leaved plum blossoms, bright yellow forsythias, and rose-red flowering plums.
Large crowds of visitors are eager to capture the scenery with their cameras.
"At the Flower Expo Garden, people can see all kinds of peach, apricot and pear blossoms in full bloom, along with a variety of architectural styles. It's a truly uplifting experience," said Liu, a tourist.
In neighboring Gansu Province, swaths of blooming flowers have attracted many tourists to Tianshui.
The local government has developed several spring-themed sightseeing routes to help visitors make the most of the season.
"Taking full advantage of the spring scenery, we have designed three premium flower-viewing routes in Qinzhou District. These routes offer a variety of experiences, from exploring ancient city culture and enjoying rural life to taking part in folk activities," said Liu Lin, head of the tourism section of the Qinzhou District Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism.

The Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party has welcomed the mainland's package of policies and measures aimed at the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, stating that it reflects a high-level consensus to advance ties between the two sides.
The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee unveiled a package of 10 policies and measures on Sunday, aiming to advance the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and enhance kinship and well-being among compatriots across the Strait.
The announcement came as a delegation from the KMT party, led by its chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, is wrapping up a mainland visit from Tuesday to Sunday.
"The purpose of this visit is to promote peace across the Taiwan Strait and enhance the well-being of the people. On April 10th, when the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping, met with the Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, he specifically mentioned four points, including improving the well-being of the people. This shows that they have reached a high level of consensus on this in cross-Strait relations. And this was implemented in the announcement made this morning by the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee. The Chinese Kuomintang party welcomes this and hopes that all parties in Taiwan will jointly promote it, without being hindered by any obstacles, so as to benefit the people of Taiwan," said Chang Jung-kung, vice chairperson of the KMT party.
