Hefei, the capital city of East China's Anhui province, is transforming into a city of flowers as spring approaches, and as the coronavirus epidemic begins to wane, many parks and tourist attractions in the city have resumed operations since March 10.

After a month-long closure due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Hefei Forest Botanical Garden will reopen to the public March 18, and flowers such as cherries, plums and tulips in the park have entered their full blossom period.

The park authorities suggested that visitors should follow the travel rules. Visitors are required to wear masks and take temperature tests before entering parks.
