Once the spring breeze comes, it is just the right time to enjoy the flowers, and the most charming place is the Julu apricot blossoms all over the branches. When the apricot blossoms come in spring in Gujun County, Julu County holds the second "Colorful Apricot Blossom Festival".
Fortunate to meet Julu Xinghua in spring for two consecutive years. Enjoying the blooming apricot blossoms in spring, presumably, this year's prayers will also be beautiful and complete.
It is full of fragrant grass and green, with a fragrance of apricot blossoms. When the spring girl came shyly to the earth, the cold-resistant and unwilling to be lonely Fangcao had already tipped her head to tell people that spring is coming. In my memory, when apricot blossoms bloom in forest trails or in large apricot orchards, it is the most beautiful taste of this spring. Walking here, my heart is always touched by the soft and warm beauty of Xinghua.
Strolling around the Julu Colorful Apricot Blossom Festival is located in the main venue of the Xingyuan Garden on Yuanze Road. Amidst the crowds, the Apricot Garden presents a busy scene. There are hundreds of looms and hand-woven Han brocade exhibition area, opera performance area, and tree planting activity area. , Flower tea and so on. And I happened to meet a group of the most beautiful girls in opera costumes. The headgear and makeup made tourists stop and look back. The singing spring grass dew, the door covers the apricot bushes. The charm of the drama between gestures and apricot blossoms in spring is integrated, and the graceful shadows are moving or still on the branches in the forest. This beautiful picture of time blooms in spring.
Here, I happened to meet sports masters, embossed in various shapes, and started the joyful mutual shooting mode under the apricot tree in spring.
Julu, a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages, used to be one of the nine counties of Xingzhou in ancient times, and it was originally Nanbian County in the Han Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty belonged to Julu County, the dispute between Wang Mang and Liu Xiu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Battle of Jingnan" by Ming Wang Zhudi, the "Jiazhuang War" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Jingtingbao Xiatou Temple Uprising in the late Qing Dynasty. In Julu. The "Battle of Julu" between Qin and Chu took place in Pingxiang County, which borders Julu. I think back then when gold and iron horses fought against giant deer. Now it seems that the ancients were also very smart. Julu belongs to the warm temperate semi-arid and semi-humid continental monsoon zone, with four distinct seasons and moderate temperatures. Today's Julu County has been rated as "National Ecological Demonstration Zone" and "China's Best Ecologically Livable County".
The Julu apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and the Apricot Blossom Festival focuses on "flower appreciation". The colorful apricot blossom festival opens, and wonderful performances attract men, women and children. After singing and laughing, enjoying the folklore and traditional performance, stroll towards the Xinghualin, where the special food on the street tempts the taste buds of foodies. With flowers as a medium, tea tasting under flowers, tens of thousands of signatures, tree planting activities are in full swing.
The Hongyi River Ecological New District has the "Majestic Drum" local rhyme performance, walking experience activities, music fountains, water curtain movies, etc. Of course, what attracts me the most is the "Majestic Drum" performance. I have seen a lot of drum rhymes and local accents, but this time the majestic drum is unique. The performers’ expressions and body images bloom expressively. The drum sound and soul have already been integrated together. At this time, what we are listening to is not the drum It is the sound of nature, what the drummers dance is not a dance, but the release of spirit and folk customs. This majestic drum performance has drunk too many people, and the photographers on the scene refused to leave, capturing the expressions and movements of the drummers with various gestures. In the laughter, the drummer of the soul is dancing life.
At the beginning of spring, the flowering period of apricot is at the end of March and early April every year. The flowering period is not comparable to some ornamental flowers. The flowering period of apricot is not very long, and its mission is to bear fruit. Julu, known as the "Hometown of Red Apricots in China", has a history of more than 300 years of cultivating apricots. There are 50,000 mu of apricot trees cultivated in patches. It is the largest planting base of stringed red apricots in the country, and it is also the national "Apricot Fine Variety Demonstration and Promotion Base", "National Stringed Red Apricot Standardization Demonstration Area", "Stranded Red Apricot Production Base" and "Export Base of Chuanzhi Red Apricot". Agriculture is deeply integrated with secondary and tertiary industries such as production and processing, leisure tourism, and health care to create a modern agricultural system that is "one after another". When you come to Julu, you can’t miss to drink several kinds of fruit drinks such as "Sansheng Youxing", "Qidongshengsheng" and "Honeysuckle Blooming". Julu not only produces fruit drinks with special products, apricot, honeysuckle, and wolfberry, but also processes various products such as preserved apricots, apricot tea, dried apricots, and almonds. It is the first apricot-themed "Julu County Apricot Expo Park" in the country, which will be built into an ecological park integrating forest park, leisure picking, and tourism.
In Liuwa Fengqing Town, cycling, cheongsam show, willow weaving product show and poetry recitation activities themed on willow culture are very popular among tourists.
