Cangqiao Crystal Pear Production Base has grown about 667,000 square meters of pear trees to produce its sweet and juicy crystal pears famed in China and overseas. And recently the pear trees at the base have begun to flower, starting its Sixth Pear Blossom Festival, which will run every day between 8:00 and 16:00 from March 10 to April 12.

During the flower show, a series of other activities including local performances, tours to the pear culture museum, and trade exchanges will also be staged.
