Last time, I visited a lesser-known cherry blossom spot, Qingtan Keng

Located about a 3-hour drive from Shanghai, Qingtan Keng is filled with cherry blossoms covering the valley by mid-March every year. The cherry trees planted here are of the Somei Yoshino variety, which have a relatively short blooming period of about a week. There is an ancient trail that connects several villages, and we took the hiking route, which is about 10 kilometers long. The place is incredibly beautiful when the flowers are in full bloom, and I recommend visiting every March. However, transportation is not convenient, so it's best to go with an outdoor group.
