Cherry blossoms paint Qingdao's rural area in sea of pink, white

Expected from late March to early April, the abundant cherry blossoms in Yangjiashanli, a demonstration area for rural vitalization in Qingdao West Coast New Area, will transform into a sea of pink and white clouds, covering the mountains like mist.

When asked how romantic the cherry blossoms in Yangjiashanli are, DeepSeek replied, "The cherry blossom sea in Yangjiashanli is a romantic bloom of six centuries of farming. Villagers have been planting cherries in this fertile land surrounded by three mountains since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Today, more than 333 hectares of cherry blossoms bloom like clouds and snow, spreading across the mountains, complementing the ancient village farmhouses. When the spring breeze blows, the pink and white petals lightly dance, harmonizing the weight of historical sediment and the vitality of nature. It is not only a historical witness to the 'hometown of cherries' but also an invitation to the poetic landscape of mountains, rivers, and fields."

There are four major photo spots here, where every picture taken is a masterpiece. In spring, Yangjiashanli also offers spring farming experiences, wild vegetable digging competitions, Nezha-themed team-building activities, and more, making it the perfect place for families with children.
