Hangzhou's top destination for plum blossom appreciation! The most romantic plum blossoms are in Xixi Wetland

In ancient Hangzhou, Xixi, Lingfeng, and Gushan were known as the three major spots for plum blossom viewing. The plum blossoms in Xixi can rival the 'Fragrant Snow Sea' of Dengwei in Suzhou in both scale and duration. The plum trees here are often planted along the streams and are famous for their weeping branches. Like willows by the lake, they can 'bend down' to touch the water surface, thus creating the unique Xixi way of enjoying plum blossoms—exploring plum blossoms on the water, and rowing boats to view them.

The area near Xixi Plum Villa is the best viewing spot, but the plum blossoms along the way are very beautiful. Journey Feelings: A few plum trees planted by the river together resemble a huge broccoli, with the water reflecting red and white. The drizzling rain scatters the plum blossoms along the riverbank, and there are also many bamboo groves nearby the plum blossoms, with the two 'gentlemen' complementing each other interestingly.
