CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- It’s the time when flowers bloom again. At this time of the year, it is a very pleasant thing to enjoy cherry blossoms and take photos. Recently, a large number of cherry blossoms have been blooming in Chongqing. However, as the temperature continues to rise, it also accelerates the opening and withering of cherry blossoms. Here we would like to remind you who want to enjoy the cherry blossoms: Hurry up, after this week, you may have to wait for a year to enjoy cherry blossoms!

At Xingguang Avenue in Yubei District, cherry trees were full of flowers. The pink and tender flowers stretched hundreds of meters along the road and become a real Cherry Blossom Road. Nearby residents said that the cherry trees planted here were blooming in recent two weeks. There were cherry trees in Bailin Park not far away. Some of them have entered the withering period.

Zhaomushan Forest Park was also full of cherry blossoms. The footpath was covered with pink cherry blossoms, forming beautiful scenery.

In Hong’en Temple Forest Park, cherry trees beside the pedestrian road were blooming with the most beautiful appearance. When the breeze blew, pink blossoms swayed the branches, performing a dance of blowing the wind.

Near Yanyu Park, Nanbin Road, cherry blossoms have gradually withered, but the white cherry blossoms among the branches were still filled with the breath of spring.

According to Liu Hao, horticulturist of Chongqing Yiyun Garden Company, cherry blossom appreciation has been popular in China as early as the Tang Dynasty, “The cherry blossom period is not long, and they will bloom in March every year.” Liu Hao said that cherry blossoms were sensitive to the temperature. Affected by the warm winter weather and the recent hot weather, the flowering period may be shorter. It is expected to wither in the past week. People who want to take photos must hurry up!
