How stunning is China's most beautiful cherry blossom tea garden, as rated by *National Geographic*!

Following *National Geographic* in search of spring, I arrived in Yongfu, Fujian. "Ten miles of tea roads, a sea of flowers." The tea fields and cherry blossoms are breathtakingly beautiful. It deserves to be featured in *National Geographic* and on the cover of *World Geography*. - The rolling green tea fields are dotted with 100,000 pink cherry blossom trees. Between the green hills and clear waters, the morning mist lingers, making you feel like you're in a spring wonderland... The first stop on my spring flower viewing trip was the right choice! It was truly worth the trip! - 🌸 The flowering period lasts from January to March. Late January to early February: Vermilion cherry blossoms Mid to late February: Pink and vermilion blossoms bloom together, with rich colors and the largest scale Mid to late March: Pinkish-white blossoms, the end of the cherry blossom season - The photos were taken on February 19, 2025, and the flowers have entered their best viewing period. Taipin Sakura Garden, Yongfu Town, Zhangping, Longyan, Fujian Non-self-driving route ⬇️ ❶ Take the high-speed train to Longyan Station (you can also rent a car/take a ride-sharing service directly) ❷ Turn right ➡️ Take Public Bus No. 2 and get off at Xiaoli Huazhuangcheng ❸ Walk to Longyan Passenger Station 👉 Take the "Longyan-Yongfu" bus for 18 RMB. Buses depart on the hour, and the mountain road journey takes about 1 hour. Tell the driver you want to go to Taipin Sakura Garden. ❺ For the return trip, wait for the green minibus across from the overpass where you got off before 5:30 pm to return to Longyan. Tour It is now the peak season for flower viewing. There are relatively few accommodations near the scenic area, and they are slightly expensive. Book a few days in advance!!! You can also stay in Longyan City, where there are more choices and better value for money. If you want to take pictures of the sunrise, morning mist, and sunset 🌄, it is recommended to stay nearby for one night, which is convenient for getting up early to shoot, and there will be fewer people in the morning. This place is very suitable for aerial photography 📷. Remember to bring your drone to capture stunning footage (I don't recommend specific shooting locations because the scenery is stunning everywhere along the way). It is recommended to check the weather before heading out! The day we went was cloudy, which didn't affect the beautiful scenery and photos ☀️. It would be even better if it was a sunny day!!! After enjoying the flowers in the garden, you can have a meal at a nearby farmhouse restaurant or across from the overpass.
