Across China, blooming blossoms are turning rural landscapes into popular spring destinations as agriculture, culture and tourism blend to boost local-level development. In Yangshuo County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, more than 66 hectares of rapeseed flowers have bloomed along the Yulong River, where golden fields contrast with dramatic karst peaks and traditional white-walled houses, drawing crowds of visitors and photographers.

Meanwhile, over 6,600 hectares of plum blossoms have reached peak bloom in Xuanhan County, Sichuan Province. Hillsides blanketed in white blossoms create a spectacular spring scene, attracting tourists and students who capture the scenery through outdoor sketching and photography.
