Peach blossom
桃花
In The Book of Songs (Shijing), the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, there are countless descriptions of peach blossoms. It shows how the country loves them. Pink peach blossoms are like the flush on a shy woman’s cheeks, radiating an irresistible charm. Perhaps the blooming peach flowers will help you encounter the right one soon.
在中國最早的詩歌集——《詩經》中有無數描寫桃花的詩篇。這足以體現中國人對桃花的喜愛。桃花,宛若女孩臉頰上淡淡的紅暈,散發著令人無法抗拒的魅力。或許,盛放的桃花還可以讓你遇見意中人哦!
Where to go: You may have seen peach blossoms in parks or mountains before, but have you seen them on the plateau? The 12th peach festival in Nyingchi, of the Tibet autonomous region, opened on March 26. Imagine a sea of pink at the foot of a snow-covered mountain beneath a blue sky. It is definitely a unique experience.
