Cherry blossoms
櫻花
From the end of March, cherry trees begin to blossom and their florescence usually lasts for two weeks. With a little breeze, the cherry blossoms fall on the ground and create an amazing “cherry blossom rain”, which offers a romantic background for your photos. It’s a good choice to gather under flowering trees to enjoy picnics and barbeques, or just watch blossoms quietly falling in the wind.
三月底,櫻花開始綻放,花期通常會持續兩周。微風徐來,櫻花隨風飄落,形成令人驚艷的“櫻花雨”,成為可供拍照的浪漫景觀。你可以在櫻花樹下野餐、燒烤,或者只是欣賞靜靜隨風飄落的花瓣。
