I visited Shangchun Mountain in Hanzhong and stumbled upon a "Little Jiangnan" in Northwest China.

Who would have thought that in the northwest, there's a sea of rapeseed flowers? Spring in Hanzhong is a flowing scroll painted in gold. Millions of acres of rapeseed flowers stretch from the Qinba Mountains to the banks of the Han River, dyeing the land into a dazzling ocean. 🌼Yangxian County The sea of rapeseed flowers in Yangxian County is even more vibrant with the elegant presence of crested ibises. In the Crested Ibis National Nature Reserve, golden fields dance with these precious birds, their white wings brushing against the waves of flowers. For a panoramic view, ascend the Xunxuangu Valley observation deck, where 3,000 acres of flowers surge like golden waves. 🌼Mianxian County As the main venue for the 2025 Rapeseed Flower Festival, Mianxian County's spring carnival is full of diverse charm. The U-shaped river bend at Longwan Scenic Area is the highlight, with rapeseed flowers stretching along the Yangjia River. The interweaving of blue water and gold creates a flowing oil painting. 🌼Nanzheng District Nanzheng's rapeseed flowers are famous for their blend of motion and stillness. Yuejialing Village, a stop on the Xi'an-Chengdu High-Speed Railway, offers a classic scene for photographers: the collision of modern speed and natural beauty as trains whiz past the sea of flowers. 🌼Chenggu County The rapeseed fields of Chenggu are steeped in history. Around Zhang Qian's hometown, thousands of acres of flowers blend with ancient villages. Strolling through them is like traveling through a millennium, experiencing the fusion of Silk Road culture and spring scenery. 💡Recommended flower viewing routes and photo spots 1.
