1. Nanjian Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley
This is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in winter, and the best time for viewing cherry blossoms is from November to December every year.

Unexpectedly, willows were planted inadvertently, and thousands of cherry trees dyed the entire valley red in winter. Early morning is the best time to enjoy cherry blossoms. The mist covers the entire valley. With the penetration of the sun, the mist gradually recedes. The white mist like a veil is intertwined with the pink cherry blossoms. It is like a dream, like a fairyland on earth. .
