Cherry blossoms are now in full bloom in many areas of China, including Yongfu, a county in Zhangping city, East China's Fujian province.

The cherry flower park is a national 3A scenic area in Yongfu, which is at the southernmost mountain basin. In addition to Yongfu's famous Matsu Cultural Festival and its reputation as the hometown of azaleas, it also boasts more than 2 million cherry trees representing over 40 different species that stretch for over 4.5km along arrays of tea trees. Thanks to these trees, Chinese tourists are able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing without going to Japan.

Late January to mid-March is the best season to enjoy the beauty of blooming pink cherry blossoms at the tea plantation in Yongfu, just after Chinese New Year, making it the first option for spring hiking and flower sightseeing.

This cherry viewing resort in Fujian province embraces the pink clouds of cherry blossoms covering the trees, which are complemented by the warm breeze and flurries of falling cherry blossoms, attracting numerous local residents and tourists nationwide.
