Hubei is a place with vast territory and abundant resources. During this upcoming Qingming Festival, where are you planning to go? Today, the editor will recommend to you some scenic spots in Hubei that are suitable for flower viewing during the Qingming Festival! This way everyone can come here to enjoy the beautiful flowers! Zhijiang Bailizhou Lihua
Bailizhou is a township in Zhijiang and is known as "the first continent on the Yangtze River". This is a fertile land famous for its sand pears and cotton.
It is half March in Hudi, and the pear blossoms are beginning to bloom today. Spring is the most dreamy season in Bailizhou. In March, five million pear trees on the island are in full bloom, turning the entire island into a sea of ??flowers, as romantic as Hokkaido during the cherry blossom season.
Looking around, pear blossoms everywhere are pure white and flawless, and their faint fragrance is refreshing. When you walk in, you will see that the pear tree is as tall as one person. The branches are either clustered with flowers or dotted with stars, and the pear flowers are blooming with bright pistils. A breeze blew by, and the white petals fell like white snowflakes, covering the earth with a white coat.
Pear blossoms can be seen as far as the eye can see, and it feels like the entire island is covered in "white snow". Small farmhouses are hidden beside the pear orchard. As the sun sets, the peasant woman carries the green vegetables and fruits through the door. Soon, smoke rises from the roof, just like the peace depicted in Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields" nature.
Pear blossoms under the moonlight. The dusk is sinking in the sky and the earth is vast, a bright moon is like a silver plate, and the clusters of "white snow" are reflected by the moonlight, showing a more beautiful light. If there happens to be an unexpected spring rain, "a branch of pear blossom brings rain in spring" will add a poetic touch.
Pear blossoms are not the only fun things to do in Bailizhou. Because it is a small island in the river, there are many entertainment projects. If you are traveling with children, it is recommended to go to Nanhe Beach to build castles and dig sandpits, which can give your children a sense of happiness as if they were at the seaside.
There are also many wild vegetables on the island around Qingming Festival. When fishing in Fengkou Meadow, you can also find many new and tender wild vegetables nearby, such as shepherd's purse, Houttuynia cordata, and wild wormwood. Just take a handful home and serve it to the table, full of the flavor of spring.
Flower viewing period: mid-March to early April
Transportation: Take the train from Wuhan to Zhijiangbei, take the bus to the ferry terminal, and take a boat to Bailizhou. Jingmen Rapeseed Flowers
There is nothing more springlike than the continuous rapeseed flowers. Whenever spring comes, countless tourists flock to Wuyuan to take a look at the brilliant rapeseed flowers.
“For Chinese rapeseed, look to Hubei, and for Hubei rapeseed, look to Jingmen.” It is understood that the local rapeseed planting area is stable at about 1.5 million acres all year round, accounting for about 1/10 of Hubei’s rapeseed planting area. The Rapeseed Flower Festival has also become a A resounding local business card.
Not long ago, the first Hubei Rapeseed Flower Festival 2019 kicked off in Shayang, Jingmen and will last until early April.
Thousands of miles of flowers and oceans of golden sand. As the temperature rises, the rape flowers seem to be called by the sun, blooming brightly, looking like a golden ocean from a distance. A gust of wind blows gently, and the rapeseed fields turn into golden waves. The unique aroma of rapeseed flowers fills the air, making tourists mesmerized.
During the blooming season, Jingmen Shayang receives an average of nearly 50,000 tourists a day. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "a sea of ??people." On weekends and Qingming Festival, there are long queues of vehicles from all over the country for self-driving tours and group tours, stretching for miles. The rapeseed field was crowded with people, and everyone took the most beautiful photos with the rapeseed flowers as the background.
There are many areas for flower viewing in Shayang. The best viewing spot is on the Wuyang Line from the Wuli Exit of Jingxiang Expressway to Shayang County. The 50-kilometer flower sea corridor, as the venue for the Rapeseed Flower Tourism Festival, has been planned and built in Zhangchi Town, Shayang, and is the best place for photography and viewing.
There are so many tourists, bees and butterflies flying, white walls and black tiles, farmers helping plows, and dogs barking in front of the house, forming a beautiful rural ink landscape painting.
Farmers near the fields have set up farmhouses to attract tourists. Rapeseed oil produced in small workshops, real local eggs, pickled lotus root strips from farmers, and various vegetables just picked from the fields are neatly placed on the field ridges, waiting for tourists to choose.
After admiring the rapeseed flowers, I also recommend you to visit Zhanghe and Aifeike Aviation Town. If you haven’t been to the Zhanghe River, you are not considered a Jingmen native, and its beauty is evident. Aifeike is the venue for the world's top flight feasts. It's a worthwhile trip to get addicted to aviation.
Flower viewing period: mid-March to early April
Transportation: There are many trains from Wuhan to Jingmen every day, or you can drive there by navigating the "Shayang County Wuyang Highway" . Macheng Guifengshan Rhododendron
Speaking of Macheng, in addition to its reputation as “the first township of generals in the country”, its most famous thing is undoubtedly the azalea. In fact, when I was a child, cuckoos were only well-known to people in Macheng. More than ten years ago, as if overnight, the slogan "On April in the world, see cuckoos in Macheng" appeared on buses in Wuhan, and the popularity of cuckoos in Macheng grew.
Some people say that Macheng in April should be renamed "Flower City". The beauty of April in the world is over. When the flowers are withering and spring is fading, millions of acres of wild rhododendrons in Macheng are blooming quietly in the mountains and fields, as if to give spring a colorful ending.
Macheng is rich in rhododendrons, which originates from its unique geographical and climatic conditions. Macheng is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and is dominated by low mountains and hills. Every late spring and early summer, red rhododendrons bloom all over the mountains and plains, and the clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining, which is simply stunning.
To say that the most beautiful place for azaleas is Guifeng Mountain. As a famous mountain in the Dabie Mountains, in my memory, it is a summer resort. Every summer vacation, we would go to the mountains with our parents to stay for a while. The cool wind would rustle the trees. This beauty will always remain in our memory.
Guifeng Mountain has a wild rhododendron community covering an area of ??100,000 acres, and was awarded "the largest wild ancient rhododendron community in the world" by Shanghai Guinness World. The spring rain is like silk, pattering, and Guifeng Mountain looks like God has knocked over the color palette. The ancient trees are green, the green peaks are like washing, and the rhododendrons are blooming, which is so beautiful that spring shows the most beautiful appearance here.
Take the ropeway all the way up, and the sea of ??azaleas spreads from the foot of the mountain to the sky. Looking up, the sky seems to be dyed red. Looking down at my feet, I can see endless splendid flowers for miles around. Take a deep breath, the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, mixed with the breath of spring earth, is so comfortable that you can instantly let go of all worries and worries.
Guifeng Mountain is not far from the city. Every time I bring my friends back to enjoy the flowers, we will have a great meal in the city center and then return home satisfied.
Flower viewing period: mid-April to late May
Transportation: Wuhan has multiple high-speed trains every day to Macheng North Station, and takes bus No. 5 and No. 8 to the end of the city Station (Macheng Shopping Mall), go to the old bus station opposite and take the tourist bus to Guifeng Mountain Scenic Area. Peach Blossoms in Shangshi, Suixian County
Speaking of Suizhou, there are countless interesting places on both hands. Most people know that the Ginkgo Valley in the golden autumn is so beautiful that it makes people forget to leave. In fact, Suizhou in spring also has special beauty, and the peach blossoms in Shangshi Town, Suixian County are undoubtedly the best spokesperson.
The Peach Garden Scenic Area in Shangshi Town, Suixian County is located 40 kilometers northwest of the city, with an area of ??more than 100,000 acres of nectarines.

In the spring of March, tens of thousands of acres of peach orchards bloom quietly overnight, either pink and white or red, as bright as clouds, like a fairyland. The terrain here is undulating, and the peach orchards spread over and over, like pieces of red clouds falling down the hills, and like a red carpet covering the earth.
Visitors come from all directions and wander among the sea of ??flowers. Looking up at the blue sky and looking down at the white and tender petals, they can't help but pick up their mobile phones and leave the most beautiful pictures.
The girls in peach gardens are the most touching. There is a bright smile on the young face, and the skirt of the skirt is flying in the wind, looking delicate and charming against the background of the blossoming peach blossoms. "Human faces and peach blossoms reflect each other's beauty", I'm afraid that's it.
Every spring, Shangshi Town holds the Peach Blossom Festival, attracting thousands of tourists to come and enjoy the scenery. According to statistics from the Shangshi Town Government, the main scenic spot of Taoyuan Garden in Shangshi Town received more than 110,000 tourists in three days.
In addition to the beauty of peach blossoms, Shangshi Town also has a simple and rustic atmosphere that makes those of us who are accustomed to living in the city feel extremely friendly. Take a nap on a chair in front of the village, drink the hot tea served by the host, and look at the peach orchard in the distance. You can even imagine the harvest of nectarines in a few months.
There is of course more than just peach blossoms in Suixian County in spring. Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers, Shennong peonies, Yandi crabapples, peonies, and cymbidiums all work together to decorate the colorful spring.
