I really hate a sentence I saw online, but today I must plagiarize it: Shangyu, you're not being obscure in your promotion! It's the ultimate experience in cherry blossom viewing, or flower appreciation in general. There's nothing larger in scale, more magnificent, or more dazzling, right I just can't stop my hands from snapping photos, and my mouth from praising the beauty non-stop! Five-star recommendation A perfect score of beauty A nine-kilometer hike, including three kilometers of rough, thorny paths. The climb isn't too high, just over 200 meters, but you're always walking amidst the scenery, on main roads, dirt paths, and through villages. This is the most beautiful route I've experienced on a one-day group hiking trip. Slightly tiring, but worth it The photo was taken on 2024-4-10, at Shangyu Tiao Hua Ridge, located halfway up the Fuchai Mountain scenic area, with no admission fee. You can drive up there, and you don't have to hike to see the scenery.

Spring in Zhejiang, especially in Si Ming Mountain and Fu Zhi Mountain, is a paradise described by poets and a dreamscape in the hearts of painters. Amidst these mountains covered with late-blooming cherry blossoms, I feel as if I can hear the heartbeat of nature and sense its gentle breath. Here, the boundary between Ningbo and Shaoxing becomes blurred, with only the mountains full of cherry blossoms, like pink clouds, quietly blooming among the hills, telling the stories of the years. Shao Hua Ling, located on the side of Fu Zhi Mountain in Shaoxing's Shangyu, offers another side of the terraced rapeseed flower seas. Walking along the cobblestone path, I seem to step into an ancient world. There are glacial stone waves, cherry blossom trails, and the mountain road leading to Dongcheng ancient village. The mountain road is rugged; we only walked halfway before turning back, but the scenery of that half journey is enough for me to savor for a lifetime. In front of Longshan Village, there is a reservoir with picturesque scenery, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Standing by the reservoir, looking at the calm water surface, I seem to see my own reflection and also the tranquility within my heart. You Zhu Ping Village, a high mountain village surrounded by a sea of flowers, where the residential buildings are like mountaintop villas with unbeatable views. Standing there, I feel as if I can touch the sky and feel the softness of the clouds. Tangxi Village, where most of the cherry blossoms bloom on the mountains behind the village. I passed by, just a quick glance, but that glance is enough for me to remember its beauty. Lu Tian Ancient Village, where I have left my footprints. The most beautiful scenery is always discovered inadvertently. The Hungry Ridge ancient trail to the north of the village, the scenery there is intoxicatingly beautiful. The Shui Li Reservoir behind the village, under the sunlight, is as green as jade, making one want to hold it in the palm of their hand. Fu Zhi Mountain Scenic Area
