As spring warms the city, Guiyang is ushering in a spectacular season of blossoming flowers. Xiaoshuang – the beloved character inspired by the lively macaques of local Qianling Mountain – takes viewers on a delightful flower-viewing tour of Guiyang.
As spring arrives, the countryside of Wudang district transforms into a tapestry of blooms. Golden waves of cole flowers stretch across the fields, cherry and plum blossoms accent the traditional white-walled houses, and peach blossoms add splashes of pink along the riverbanks and hillsides.
