Various kinds of flowers have been in full blossom alongside the Yulong River since the beginning of March. A rape flower field stretching more than 10 kilometers forms a picturesque rural scene, together with the villages near the field.

Rongxian county, Yulin

Shatian pomelo from Yulin's Rongxian county has long been renowned as the "king of pomelo", and pomelo flowers normally enter full blossom around the Qingming Festival in early April.

If you are lucky enough to encounter farmers carrying out hand-pollination, you can also try to experience this process. You can choose your favorite pomelo trees, hang your own tags and prepay for the fruits these trees will grow in the harvest season.

Daming Mountain Scenic Area, Nanning

The Daming Mountain Scenic Area in Nanning is an ideal place for those who want to get a close look at azalea and Chinese enkianthus. Thanks to the warm weather this spring, the flowering season has arrived earlier than in previous years.

A quick reminder: visitors to Daming Mountain Scenic Area may have to bring an extra coat or rain gear because the weather on the mountain is unpredictable.
