The place to visit to get the full experience of the apricot blossom during spring time is 'The Apricot Blossom Farm’.
Established in 1983, the Apricot Blossom Farm is a private farm that was owned by a farmer by the name of Zhang Dingding, affectionally known as “Ding Bo”. Ding Bo, whose name translates to ‘Uncle Ding' opened the farm to the public out of a desire to share the beauty of the blossoms, so that people can come to enjoy the flowers and perhaps buy some to take home to their loved ones.

Its biggest enchantment, however, is undoubtedly the vibrant blossom each spring, which attracts tens of thousands of tourists.
