Sakura blooms can last throughout the spring
Wuhan, Nanjing and other places are about to usher in the best viewing period
Spring has returned to the earth, and the cherry blossom viewing curtain has slowly begun open. Our country is vast, and cherry blossoms can bloom throughout the spring.
Judging from the 2023 National Cherry Blossom Viewing Map, cherry blossoms in South China are the earliest to enter the best viewing period. In late January, the cherry blossoms at Tianshi Cherry Blossom Paradise in Guangzhou, Guangdong and Yongfu Sakura Garden in Longyan, Fujian have gradually reached their peak. The Guangzhou cherry blossoms and Fujian mountain cherry blossoms, which are full of local characteristics, belong to the early mid-morning cherry blossoms and early cherry blossoms respectively. It is not surprising to see them early. Every spring, the cherry blossoms in Yongfu Tea Garden are as bright as clouds. Wandering among them, people can see the spectacular scene of "green tea and red cherry blossoms".
In March, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Jiangnan, where there are many cherry blossom viewing resorts. Cherry blossom viewing resorts such as Jiming Temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, Yuantouzhu Scenic Area in Taihu Lake in Wuxi, and Wuhan University in Hubei Province all use Somei Yoshino as the main planting variety. This variety belongs to the middle cherry variety and is currently the most widely planted variety in my country. Among the above-mentioned areas this year, the cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple in Nanjing are the earliest to enter the best viewing period, and the cherry blossoms in the southern section of Cherry Blossom Avenue are in full bloom in early March. The early cherry blossoms at Wuhan University also started blooming at the end of February this year, but Somei Yoshino on Sakura Avenue had to wait until mid-March to enter the full bloom period.
Wuhan East Lake Moshan Cherry Blossom Garden and Wuxi Taihu Yuantouzhu Scenic Area are both representatives of waterway cherry blossom viewing. This year, Yuantouzhu Scenic Area in Wuxi has set up a number of special cherry blossom viewing lines on the water. When boating on the lake, it feels like you can capture the beauty of the cherry blossoms when they are in full bloom.
△On March 26, 2022, the cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu Scenic Area in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province were as brilliant as clouds.
Wuhan University and Nanjing Jiming Temple are places not to be missed when viewing cherry blossoms by land. In mid-to-late March, the night temperature in these two places can reach around 10°C. It is quite comfortable to wander along the Cherry Blossom Avenue at night and experience the charm of night cherry blossoms.
△On March 21, 2018, the pink cherry blossoms in front of the Administration Building of Wuhan University were beautiful.
△On March 16, 2022, cherry blossoms were like snow on Jiming Temple Road in Nanjing.
Cherry blossom viewing is not exclusive to friends from the south. There are also cherry blossoms to enjoy in the north. Yuyuantan Park in Beijing is one of the earliest cherry blossom viewing spots in the north. At the end of March, Somei Yoshino in the park entered its peak flowering period, with white or pink petals falling in the wind, fully displaying the gentle beauty of the cherry blossoms. However, Zhongshan Park in Qingdao, Shandong and Longwangtang Cherry Blossom Garden in Dalian, Liaoning cannot start cherry blossom viewing tours until April to May.
On March 23, 2020, cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Yuyuantan, Beijing.
Affected by high temperatures
This year, cherry blossoms bloomed early in Wuhan, Changsha and other places
According to Li Liang, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, temperature, precipitation, Phenological conditions such as sunshine are the main factors affecting the flowering period of cherry blossoms. Among them, temperature has the greatest impact, especially the cumulative temperature 30 to 40 days before flowering is the most critical. The higher the temperature, the earlier the cherry blossoms bloom.
Due to high temperatures, the flowering period of cherry blossom viewing resorts in Wuhan, Nanjing, Wuxi and Changsha this year is earlier than the average date. Among them, the first flowering period of the Xunlong River Cherry Blossom Valley Scenic Spot in Changsha is earlier than the average date of the year. for 12 days.
In addition to meteorological conditions, variety is another important reason for the differences in cherry blossom blooming periods in various places. Cherry blossoms can be divided into early cherry blossoms, middle cherry blossoms and late cherry blossoms. Early cherry blossoms have a certain degree of cold resistance, so some early cherry blossoms can be seen in late January to announce spring. There are also great differences in the appearance of different varieties of cherry blossoms. The petals can be either double or single. The famous Somei Yoshino has double petals, while the Taiwan Scarlet Sakura that grows in Taiwan, my country, has single petals. There is also a rare multi-petaled variety - Juzakura. This is a late cherry variety that resembles a chrysanthemum. One chrysanthemum cherry blossom can have hundreds of petals, and it usually only blooms in May.
From now until May, the cherry blossoms in major cherry blossom viewing resorts in my country will gradually become more beautiful. You might as well make an appointment with a few friends and arrange your cherry blossom viewing schedule early.
