Just across the East China Sea lies the beautiful land of Shenyang. In this city, lies Tongjiayu which is home to gorgeous mountains and 66.67 hectares of apricot trees. Come Spring, these trees are in full bloom and boy, are they a sight to behold!
The green hills of China have a hidden secret. They burst into pink blossoms at the peak of Spring and cover the mountains in a layer of pink. The apricot trees go as far as the eye can see. Shenyang has capitalized on this beauty and started the Apricot Blossom Festival that runs from April 15 – April 25 every year!What Is It?
