Step into a fairy-tale landscape this spring in Qinhuangdao, where ancient trees and vibrant festivals are drawing crowds of nature lovers! In Qinglong County, over 6.6 square kilometers of pear trees burst into snowy-white blooms, including 5,000 century-old specimens that’ve stood the test of time. The area’s 17th annual Pear Blossom Festival attracts over 10,000 visitors daily, offering cultural performances and photo ops straight out of a Studio Ghibli film
.
Meanwhile, Changli County’s Shuiyan Temple dazzles with a dozen ancient magnolia trees, their pink-and-white flowers lasting up to 20 days. Together, these spots form a dual floral route that’s *perfect* for Instagram-worthy adventures. As one traveler put it: ‘It’s like walking through a living painting!’
Pro tip: Plan your visit soon—the blossoms wait for no one!
