Wuhu Ancient City is surrounded by cherry blossoms

Every time you visit the Ancient City, you can feel its unique charm. At different times, in different seasons, you can discover its unique flavor in your eyes. The ancient buildings look particularly beautiful when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Fortunately, it's a time when you can freely take photos with your phone. You turn others into the background, and you also become a character in other people's photos. The history of the Ancient City is long-standing, and there is a temple among the ancient architectural complex. The red color of the temple's walls is very suitable for photography. Many cherry trees have also been planted beside the red walls. Combining the cherry blossoms with the red walls, or standing beside the red walls to take photos, the effect is superb. The cherry blossoms at the end of March can be said to be in full bloom, and encountering them in the Ancient City feels like the city is presenting a new vitality.
