Once you step in, a poetic plum blossom viewing journey begins. 🌸 Plum Blossom Splendor, Immersive Flower Viewing The plum blossoms on Plum Blossom Hill come in so many varieties that it’s like a feast in the plant kingdom. The Gongfen plum blooms gently, with pink and white petals tinged with light red, like clouds sneaking in early spring; the Zhusha plum is fiery and passionate, with deep red petals burning on the branches, carrying the proud spirit of “blooming alone in the cold”; and the Lue plum is fresh and elegant, with tender green petals set against the snowy scenery, as beautiful as a fairy stepping out of an ancient painting. Strolling along the trails, the plum forest layers upon layers. The plum trees at the foot of the hill are low, and if you get close, you can see the fine fuzz on the petals. When the breeze blows, petals fall on your shoulders, making you feel as if you’ve wandered into a secluded plum garden in a fantasy drama; walking higher up, the plum trees grow taller, their branches intertwining into a natural floral corridor. Sunlight filters through the branches, weaving light and fragrance into threads that warm the winter chill. 📍 Poetry Hidden in the Details Viewing plum blossoms on Plum Blossom Hill is not just about the flowers. If you come early in the morning, you might encounter plum forests with lingering thin snow. The plum fragrance mixed with the crispness of snow, taking a deep breath clears your mind and lungs; on sunny days, the noon sunlight casts plum shadows on the ground, and every snapshot looks like an artistic photo with a built-in filter; at dusk, the twilight gilds the plum forest edges, petals glowing softly, adding a touch of hazy poetry.

Near the red walls and glazed tiles, a few plum branches lean out, blending ancient and modern scenes that let your thoughts wander through time for a long while. ❄️ A Winter-Exclusive Romantic Ritual At Plum Blossom Hill, plum viewing is never rushed.
