National Geographic didn't lie to me, this month Fujian will become a picturesque scene
Spring is warm and flowers bloom, with a variety of flowers blossoming together. Cherry blossoms must have a place in spring. For Spring Festival travel, of course, we should go to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Today, I'm sharing a stunning cherry blossom viewing spot.
You don't have to go all the way to Japan to see beautiful cherry blossoms. It is the Yongfu Cherry Blossom Garden in Fujian, which has successfully made it onto the covers of 'China National Geographic' and 'World Geographic' magazines.
Green tea and red cherry blossoms, amidst the ten thousand mu of tea gardens, experience China's unique romance. The garden is now officially open, and the blooming period will last from late January to mid to late March.
Traveling to Yongfu for the Spring Festival, taking a pink train, wandering in the pink cherry blossom garden, how romantic would that be?
Yongfu Cherry Blossom Tea Garden has a total of more than 50,000 mu of tea gardens and over 100,000 cherry trees complementing each other, creating a unique tea field cherry blossom charm.
There are up to 42 varieties of cherry blossoms here, including the Feihan cherry, Yunnan cherry, Yoshino cherry, Peony cherry, Fujian mountain cherry, etc., the number can be called 'the most among cherry blossom gardens in China'.

In March this year, our group of friends took the train to visit Fujian tea garden cherry blossoms 🌸, the layers of mountains around the beautiful 👍 Unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful, if there is sunshine, 🌸 will be more beautiful!
It is indeed the cherry garden that has been on the cover of National Geographic! In Longyan, I drove for an hour and there were more detours. The first night I went, it rained, the cherry blossoms fell a lot, and it was cloudy. Otherwise, it was better-looking and it was worth punching in!
The tea garden is combined with the cherry blossoms. From a visual perspective, the colors are bright and beautiful. The tea garden is not very big. It is OK to walk more than 10,000 steps. The tea garden is a small hillside. It is very fresh for us northerners. There are not many varieties of cherry blossoms. But the cherry blossoms are still very nice pink and red.
The red cherry blossoms are fully opened. The pink system only sees a few beads. Although there are many people, the park is big enough and it will not appear too crowded. The photo is very popular. The staff guides and do their best. The Spring Festival is a good place to enjoy flowers.
