A Chengdu Exclusive: Encounter a Century-Old Apricot Tree in Full Bloom

In Chengdu, a romantic spectacle, anticipated all year, has arrived. The century-old apricot tree perched atop the mountain has quietly entered its full bloom phase, captivating all who behold it. Standing alone at the summit, solitary yet magnificent, the tree is adorned with blossoms, resembling clouds tinged with rosy hues. As the wind whispers through its branches, petals flutter down like a soft, ancient ballad, as if gently blessing the tranquil land below. Though its peak bloom lasts only a week, it pours forth its vibrant beauty, painting a vivid stroke across the canvas of spring. Such fleeting beauty must not be missed. Seize this ephemeral splendor while you can. 📍Viewing Location: Century Cherry Paradise. Park here and you'll spot the apricot tree from afar. It's just a 10-minute walk to the summit. 🚗Directions: A mere 50-minute drive from Chengdu's South Gate. 🅿️Parking: 10 CNY. 🌟Tips: ✅Photo Shoot Strategy: Arrive early for an exclusive photo session. The later you arrive, the more crowded it gets. ✅Bloom Period: These photos were taken on March 10, 2025. This week is the ideal viewing time, so don't delay. ✅Dining: Local restaurants nearby offer authentic cuisine for a delightful post-visit meal. ✅Surrounding Blooms: While the cherry blossoms have faded, smaller apricot trees are in full bloom, and peach blossoms will soon follow. Cherry picking is expected from mid-April to May. ✅Hiking: Enjoy a hike amidst nature's beauty. Shijing Temple is just 7 km away and offers another hiking opportunity. ✅Driving Caution: The final stretch of the mountain road is narrow. Reduce speed and exercise caution when passing other vehicles.
