In the Zibo Economic Development Zone – located in Zibo city, in East China's Shandong province – summer has come after the late spring rains, which have washed away the flowers.
Birds are seeking shelter under the trees in the parks and streets, playing in the shade or in the rain and enjoying the delightful afternoons.
The Xiaofu River draws folks to admire its willows, pavilions, ducks and fish. In the fields, the tall and ripe wheat carries the mild fragrance of summer on the warm wind.
People can savor the fragrant delights of the green beans, peaches, cherries and sweet melons of the region during this special time. Check out this video about the season in the Zibo Economic Development Zone.
