Around the winter solstice, ten thousands of cherry blossoms in Changning Country of Baoshan City are blooming one after another. The pink cherry blossoms, set against the backdrop of green tea gardens, are exceptionally stunning, creating a picturesque scenery of beautiful cherry blossoms and tea fragrance.

In the Jidanshan Cherry Blossom Valley, as the first warm rays of sunlight pierce through the mist in the mountain, the most romantic page of the winter season quietly begins. The cherry blossoms, nourished by the high-altitude mist and winter sunshine, appear especially delicate. From a distance, the cherry blossoms like clouds and mist, blending with the lush green tea mountains and resembling pink pearls scattered over a green canopy. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows, creating a scene that feels like stepping into a painting.

"Fragrant tea in the air, the cherry blossoms are blooming. The delicate pink and white petals, the romantic flowers, bring tranquility and beauty to the mountains of Changning. The flower language of cherry blossoms is 'a once-in-a-lifetime meeting.' So, while the sun is just right, take your family and friends to Changning to enjoy the cherry blossoms!" said Liao Yihan, a reporter from Changning County's Converged Media Center, recommending the popular cherry blossom viewing spots in Changning to tourists.

Walking along the Cherry Blossom Avenue in Xishan Forest Park, a gentle breeze stirs the pink petals, causing them to flutter. The flowers and new buds on the branches are like scattered stars, with a fresh and subtle fragrance that calms the mind, making one feel as though stepping into a fairytale world. Up close, the cherry blossoms bloom in layers, densely packed, bending the branches. Busy bees and various birds weave through them, adding a touch of vibrance to the scene.

Each cherry blossom tree adds a pink color to the mountains, giving winter a different hue and prompting people to stop and linger.

In recent years, Changning County has actively explored the integration of culture and tourism, leveraging its natural advantages of "one river, one mountain, one leaf, one spring, and one city," as well as its favorable climate. The county has optimized tourism routes, developed new tourism formats, and created a lifestyle nestled in the mountains and waters of Changning, attracting more visitors to enjoy a "warm and slow-paced life" in Changning.
