Temperatures rise in spring. Cherry blossom trees have entered full bloom on schedule in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province. The cherry blossoms have transformed the city into a breathtaking sea of pink and white, attracting a large number of local residents and visitors to enjoy the flowers. For Wuhan, cherry blossom season is more than just a beautiful sight. It's also a major driver of what's become known as the "cherry blossom economy." Wuhan has expanded tourism services, offering blossom-viewing boat cruises, guided photography tours, and nighttime light shows in parks. The cherry blossom season now contributes hundreds of millions of yuan to the local economy each year.
