Guangdong, you are so tight-lipped. How come no one knows about such a beautiful cherry blossom mountain? !
Why go to Japan or Dali to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring? Go to Meizhou, Guangdong!
This niche travel destination not only has the super shocking intangible cultural heritage fire dragon dance, but also hides pink cherry blossoms all over the mountains!
The cherry blossoms and tea fields stretch along the mountainside from one hilltop to another and all the way to the valley, with green tea and red cherry blossoms.
It looks like a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's animation, beautiful and romantic. The entire valley covers more than 1,000 acres, with tens of thousands of cherry trees.
The main varieties are Pink Lady Cherry, Taiwan Peony Cherry, and Taiwan Perfume Cherry.
Looking around, pink, red, and white, like clouds and rosy clouds, it feels like you have walked into a fairy tale dream!
