Hangzhou's ultimate plum blossom viewing spot, Xixi Wetland, is now in bloom. Here's a guide!

Hangzhou's plum blossoms are now in full bloom, like a painter's palette overturned by God. If you plan to visit Hangzhou in March, don't miss this fleeting opportunity to admire the blossoms. I've prepared a flower viewing guide for you.

Stroll through the plum groves or enjoy tea by the side. Meandering Stream Plum Blossom Search: Take a sculling boat through the plum groves and experience the poetic charm of "sailing amidst plum blossoms, like a painting come to life." Food Recommendations: After enjoying the plum blossoms, a feast is a must. I found a fantastic crayfish restaurant in Zijin Lifestyle Plaza. I had the pleasure of enjoying plump crayfish early in the season, especially the Steamed Premium Crayfish and the Shaoxing Wine Chilled Premium Crayfish. Both dishes feature selected large crayfish and generous portions. They also offer Crayfish Tails with Rice Noodles in a Tea Mug, allowing you to enjoy noodles and crayfish together—a truly satisfying experience. The restaurant's ambiance is also excellent. Who says Hangzhou lacks good food? Hurry and check it out!
