Flower tours have become an increasingly popular option for people who want to take part in more leisurely activities this spring. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, visitors can choose a safer way to spend their leisure time, and local travel is the best choice.

Along the coast of Mouping district in Yantai, East China's Shandong province, there are 3,000 blooming cherry trees, and the annual Yantai International Cherry Blossom Festival was held online on April 9 and 10, offering people a platform to appreciate the stunning spring scenery.
