Expected flowering period: late March – late April

Apricot blossoms mark the best time for spring outings. Fenghuangling Scenic Area features hundreds of mu of mountain apricot blossoms covering the hills. Yuanmingyuan’s Xinghua Chunguan is named for poetic imagery, with dense blossoms forming natural corridors. Tiantan Park’s nearly 10,000‑square‑meter apricot forest, planted since the Qing Dynasty, blooms like a pink cloud with subtle fragrance.
