Santaishan National Forest Park

The Pear Orchid Festival | Five hundred acres of pear blossoms and February orchids bloom in competition!! I was amazed by this scene when I saw it online last year, and this year I finally made it to the site. As soon as you see it, you can't help but exclaim: It's so beautiful! Some places can be beautified by photography, but some places just can't capture the beauty visible to the naked eye, and this is undoubtedly the latter. The elegant pear blossoms and the romantic dreamy purple interweave and set each other off, creating a beauty that is like a dream. When surrounded by a sea of flowers, it really can be so beautiful that it's mesmerizing. Official blooming period for pear blossoms announced by Hua in 2024: April 1st to April 15th. During the flower viewing, you may encounter various performances and parades, such as dance, guzheng, opera... all of which seem especially romantic amidst the vast sea of flowers. Nianhua Forest Park is large, and besides the currently hottest Pear Orchid Festival, if you have time, you can also unlock other different attractions. There are many parking spaces in Hua, and they are all free. There are also free shuttle buses for the Pear Orchid Festival near the scenic area, which stop when hailed. Shooting location: Jiangsu Santai Mountain National Forest Park Shooting date: 2024.04.04 Ticket price: 60 RMB per person (cheaper if purchased on online platforms or live broadcasts)

"Santai Mountain National Forest Park, you really had a blooming good time" Spring steps lightly into the Santai Mountain National Forest Park, and with a heart full of anticipation, I enter this ocean of flowers. Pear blossoms are like snow, pure and flawless. They bloom on the branches, like a group of pure fairies, light and elegant. A breeze blows, and the pear blossoms fall like snow, forming a beautiful flower rain that intoxicates. The February orchids spread like purple clouds among the woods. They complement the pear blossoms, forming a colorful tapestry. The flowers of the February orchid are small and exquisite, emitting a faint fragrance, bringing a sense of tranquility and beauty. I wander through this sea of flowers, as if I am in a fairyland. The white of the pear blossoms and the purple of the February orchids intertwine, making the world before my eyes especially dreamy. Upon closer observation, I find that each flower has its unique posture. Some pear blossoms are budding, while others display their beauty fully; the February orchids are like a group of lively sprites, dancing cheerfully in the breeze. In this world of flowers, I feel the charm and warmth of nature. They do not need words, yet they convey endless beauty and hope. I take out my camera, wanting to capture these beautiful moments forever. Each photo is like a work of art, recording the beauty and mystery of this sea of flowers. When I leave the Santai Mountain National Forest Park, my heart is filled with longing and reluctance for this sea of flowers.
