Flowers are blooming everywhere, where should I go to enjoy the flowers first?
🌸 Flowers are blooming everywhere, where should I go to enjoy the flowers first?||| This year's spring indeed arrived a bit late, and flowers all over Changchun have started to bloom one after another. Where can we go to enjoy the flowers in the near future (mid to late April)?
Popular spots🔥🔥🔥
🌸 Jilin University Nanling Campus: The Jilin University Apricot Flower Festival will be held on April 21st. This year is the ninth edition, and I haven't been there yet. I heard there will be a series of activities and some stalls, which should be particularly lively.
🌸 Yitong River banks: On the west bank of the Yitong River, starting from Nanhu Avenue Zhihe Square to Satellite Road, there is a flower road lined with peach blossoms (peach trees) that have already started to bloom. Sakura Island is also here, but the flowers on the island will take a few more days. If you follow the road all the way past Satellite Road, you will reach the Industrial Trajectory Park, which is a nice camping site🏕️

Free public transportation! Fenyang, an ancient city with a thousand years of stories!
💥Did you know? The public transportation system in Fenyang is completely free! For those of us who love shopping and exploring, this is such great news! It covers all the scenic spots and the train station within the city, making our visit to this ancient city both easy and economical!💐
🏰Fenyang, a city with a history of over 1700 years as a provincial capital, is truly a treasure trove! Every step you take is on the imprint of history, and every corner hides ancient stories. The Apricot Flower Village Fen Liquor Workshop, Taifu Temple, Wenfeng Pagoda... These historical sites are all worth savoring in detail.
✨Taifu Temple is a particularly low-key place, but once you enter, you will be deeply attracted by its charm. The Ming Dynasty glazed dragons and the colorful suspended clay sculptures are simply treasures of art! Although there are not many tourists usually, this is just perfect, as we can appreciate it quietly, undisturbed.😍
🌸Wenfeng Pagoda is even more a symbolic building of Fenyang. In spring, when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, they form an interesting contrast with the Wenfeng Pagoda, like a vivid scroll of painting. Standing under the tower, it's as if you can hear the breath of history and feel the passage of time.
🎨There's also the Hou Tu Holy Mother Temple, which may not be very famous, but the Ming Dynasty murals inside are truly unique! The murals on the east, west, and north walls, such as 'Banquet Picture', 'Royal Inspection Picture', and 'Welcoming Picture', are each painted with meticulous brushwork and gold leaf, dazzling to the eyes and eliciting continuous admiration.🙌
🏯Of course, the Bao'en Temple, Christian Church, Fenyang Guandi Temple, and so on in the old streets of Fenyang are also must-visit spots. Especially the Fenyang Nanxun Building, did you know? This was a filming location for the movie 'Mountains May Depart'! Standing here, it feels as if you can experience the emotions and stories from the movie.🎥
💥Overall, the city of Fenyang not only has convenient transportation but also a profound historical heritage and rich cultural relics. Every visit brings new discoveries and new emotions. If you also love history and culture, you must come and see Fenyang!👣

The most beautiful apricot blossom forest in Shanxi is all in Apricot Blossom Village.
📢The sixth Fenjiu Apricot Blossom Festival has opened in the Fenjiu Cultural Scenic Area. Fenjiu is a must-drink for all major events. I've been here several times and really love the aroma of the liquor in the air.
This time, it's not just about sharing the fun, but also teaching everyone how to have fun here, without missing out on the culture and experience.

This is a large park with apricot forests, lakes, grasslands, academies, and ancient buildings. The wind blows gently, and a rain of apricot blossoms falls, how romantic.
