The grand scene of spring cannot be undone. If you miss one season, you will have to wait another year! China Weather launched the 2024 Cherry Blossom Appreciation Map of North China, which shows the blooming season of the Cherry Blossom Attraction.

North China has entered the best viewing period of cherry blossoms

As one of the "top streams" of spring flowers, Cherry has a long history of cultivation in China. As early as 2000 years ago in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were records of Cherry plants cultivated in the palace. Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty once wrote, "Rely on the spring breeze to feel lonely, and blow incense to cross the water to inform others" to express his love for cherry blossoms. In recent years, as one of the spring ritual activities, Cherry Blossom Appreciation has spread all over the country with overwhelming momentum.

China has a vast territory, and cherry blossom can run through the whole spring. When the flowering period of southern cherry blossoms comes to an end, northern cherry blossoms are getting better. According to the 2024 North China Cherry Appreciation Map released by China Weather Network, the cherry appreciation season in North China is mainly from March to April. Hangzhou early cherry in Beijing Yuyuantan Park has bloomed in the middle of March, especially the Dashan cherry in Shijiazhuang Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park, which has native rare green plants and green cherry blossoms, has also begun to bloom, opening the curtain of cherry appreciation this year.

Don't miss the spring scenery of a year. It's the best time for flowers to bloom. As an important punch in place for appreciating cherry trees in North China, Beijing Yuyuantan Park has a variety of cherry trees available for viewing More than 40 species have entered the best viewing period, If you are lucky, you can watch a romantic cherry blossom rain under the tree, Another "cherry blossom ice cream" will make the "cherry blossom flavor" not only engraved in the mind but also sweet in the heart.

In April, Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park in Hebei, Pigeon Nest Park in Qinhuangdao, Tanggu Forest Park in Tianjin, Yuquan Mountain Suburb Forest Park in Shanxi, and Imperial Prime Minister's Mansion will also be Cherry blossom viewing period is coming one after another. You can feel the scene of spring blossoms facing the sea in Dove Nest Park, and feel it in the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion Ancient Architectural Buildings The beauty of youth is a good flower appreciation experience.

Cherry blossom is beautiful, but its flowering period is short. The weather in North China is favorable for cherry appreciation in the first and middle of April

What do cherry blossom mainly depend on? According to Shi Yan, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, temperature, precipitation, sunshine, strong wind and other meteorological conditions are important factors that affect the first flowering time of cherry blossoms. Among them, the temperature is the most relevant. Generally speaking, the temperature is higher than normal, and cherry blossoms will open in advance. In addition, cherry blossoms can be divided into early cherry, middle cherry and late cherry, and the first flowering time has a great relationship with varieties.

The great warming in the middle of March this year boosted the early spring in many parts of North China, leading to the early flowering in some areas. Taking the "Hangzhou Morning Cherry" planted in Beijing urban area as an example, this year's first morning cherry bloomed earlier than the average flowering time in recent 20 years.

Although the cherry blossom is beautiful, its flowering period is short. Cherry blossom likes sunshine, warmth and wetness, and its wind resistance is weak. It takes only about half a month for the whole cherry tree to fully wither from flowering. Shi Yan said that in case of strong wind or severe convection weather, it may speed up the withering of cherry blossoms.

In the first and middle of April, the cold air affecting North China was weak, and there was no obvious precipitation process. On the whole, the temperature was slightly higher than that in the same period of the year, and the weather was better for people to go out and enjoy flowers. However, the continuous high temperature during flowering may also accelerate the cherry blossom into the falling stage.

During the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, a small crowd goes to a "flower appointment" to enjoy the flowers while avoiding the crowds

The Tomb Sweeping Day holiday is coming, and the spring is just in time. It's a good time to meet for an outing to enjoy flowers. However, although flower appreciation is a good thing, it's hard to avoid a great loss of interest in crowded crowds. I recommend a good place for people to enjoy flowers, so that you can avoid the crowd and enjoy the flowers!

In Luancheng District, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, there is a Cherry Blossom Park - Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park, which grows 5000 cherry trees and covers an area of more than 100 mu. There are 13 kinds of cherry trees planted here, such as Guanshan, Yujin, Hongdangzhi, Yiye, Dashan Yingbai, etc. It is the theme park with the largest number of cherry trees in Shijiazhuang and even in Hebei Province. At the peak of each year's blooming season, you can enter the park along the colorful footpath which is matched by cherry blossom powder and haze blue. It seems that you have entered a paradise by mistake. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, red like fire, pink like glow, and white like snow, which is extremely spectacular.

Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park

At present, the first big mountain cherry in Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park has opened, marking the start of the local cherry appreciation season. On April 4, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival was officially opened, when cherry blossoms in the park will enter the best viewing period, which coincides with the Tomb Sweeping Festival holiday. You can enjoy cherry blossoms, eat delicious food, watch performances and enjoy the spring scenery here.

Luancheng Cherry Blossom Park

In addition to the common pink cherry blossoms, you can also enjoy the green cherry blossoms with novel colors in Luancheng Cherry Park. At the early flowering stage, especially when the flower bud is blooming, the green characteristics of the green cherry are obvious, and the color of the petal tip gradually fades in the middle and late stages. Compared with ordinary pink cherry blossoms, green cherry blossoms need to spend more attention to take care of. They should be protected against waterlogging even in rainy days, and should avoid direct sunlight in sunny days. They should be shaded to keep green.

Sansu Ancestral Cultural Features Area

Here, after appreciating the beautiful cherry blossoms, you can also experience the cultural influence in the "Sansu Ancestral Cultural Features Area". Dongluan, Ximei, Xingqiao, Luomei covered bridge, Sansu Academy and other Tang style buildings are well arranged. When night falls, the lights are on, along with the sparkling river of the ancient grain river, the poetic mood is integrated with the landscape of the park, telling the profound cultural heritage of Sansu's ancestral home.

A corner of Nanliu Village

If you are tired, you can stay away from the noise of the city and go to Nanliu Village for a night's rest. In Nanliu Village, there are wheat fields, cafes, specialty agricultural product stores, and boutique homestays. You can not only experience the fun of picking, but also the fun of farming. It is a good place for parents and children to visit.

The flowers are similar from year to year, but the scenes are different from year to year. The most beautiful meeting is under the cherry tree in spring. In this April, let's meet friends and relatives for a "cherry blossom journey". (Planning/Yang Xing Design/Zhang Li Data Support/Shi Yan)
