Because not many people know about it, only a few outdoor hikers and players go to enjoy the flowers every year. It seems like this place would be forgotten if they didn't go.
From mid-March to early April, the rapeseed flowers in Yunqishan are in full bloom. Different from the terraced rapeseed flowers in Jiangling, Wuyuan, the sea of rapeseed flowers seen here seems to form a mirror. It is best to climb Yunqi Mountain to overlook the flower fields.
From the foot of the mountain, pass Dengfeng Bridge, Hengjiang River, Jiuli Thirteen Pavilions, Mengzhen Bridge, and then from Tianmen to Santaimen to Yunqi Yuehua Street. Find a viewing spot with a wide view and look down from the mountain. Pieces of rapeseed flowers bloom freely along both sides of Hengjiang River, one of the sources of Xin'an River, like an endless golden carpet, paving the magnificence of the earth. With the distant mountains and close water, the villagers complement each other, forming an exquisite and moving landscape painting, which is too beautiful to behold.

Now, the first floor has become a reception hall for tourists to rest. The Tibetan hosts are very enthusiastic and will welcome guests from afar with delicacies and performances full of rich ethnic customs such as butter tea, highland barley wine, and Guozhuang dance.
The largest and best-preserved Suopot Tower in China is also in Danba. What is the difference between the watchtowers in western Sichuan and the watchtowers in Guangdong in the movie "New Love"? Go and see for yourself and you will know the answer.
Southeast Peach Blossoms
Go to southern Tibet to enjoy the peach blossoms in the snowy region.
Many people believe that the most suitable time to travel to Tibet must be July and August. In fact, in southeastern Tibet, July and August are the rainy season, and there are often dense clouds and low visibility, which can easily affect the viewing effect.
At the end of the year, Lin said the most suitable time to visit the scenery in southeastern Tibet is from mid-March to early April every year.

In the distance are snow-capped mountains, and in the distance are the busy figures of Monba, Lhoba and Tibetan farmers, creating a charming pastoral scenery. If it weren't for those snow-capped mountains, you would think you were in Jiangnan.
At the end of Lin’s speech, there is another special feature of peach blossom viewing in Linzhi, which is the plateau vertical climate zone. On a high mountain, from top to bottom, you can see three or four alternating climates
