Suqian Santai Mountain National Forest Park, I heard a few years ago that the Pear Blossom Festival here was very famous, and today I also came to participate. It seems that I have come a bit early this year, as most of the pear blossoms are still just white buds, while the February orchids under the pear trees are in full bloom, creating a super dreamy combination of white and purple that spreads endlessly. The unique sea of pear and orchid flowers is slowly approaching in full splendor. From the park's main entrance to the pear blossoms, it is over three kilometers, so it is best to take the small train. If you walk, it will take about 40 minutes one way, and a round trip will take about an hour and a half. The price is 45 yuan per person. Santai Mountain National Forest Park
