Chasing Jay Chou’s Footsteps: A Dreamy Morning in Xitang Under Cherry Blossoms

#cherryblossom25 #xitang At seven in the morning, under the soft glow of dawn, we were already waiting beneath the cherry blossom trees in Xitang—a pilgrimage inspired by the mesmerizing watertown scenes from Jay Chou’s music video. A misty haze draped over the whitewashed walls and black-tiled roofs, while blooming cherry branches arched low, gently skimming the ripples of the ancient canal, mirroring the poetic slow-motion frames from the MV. Without the usual crowds, the only sounds were the creaking of oars from early-rising boatmen and the delicate drip of dew falling from petals. As we set up our tripod and watched the first rays of sunlight pierce through the blossoms, we suddenly understood why Jay Chou chose this place: it wasn’t about making the scenery beautiful for the camera—Xitang itself is a timeless, lyrical masterpiece, a living Chinese-style poem that has flowed through a thousand years.
