Springtime has arrived in China and the cherry blossoms are looking more beautiful than ever this year.
Residents & tourists from all over the world are flocking to the many different popular cherry sites to admire the intensity of the colours which at this moment resemble a scene from Avatar.
The rise in popularity of drones means more and more people are photographing these magnificent trees from positions we have never before seen.
Blossom festivals
Just like drones, cherry blossom festivals are also growing in popularity year by year.
In Yunnan Province the 19th Cherry Blossom Festival featured over 5000 cherry & crab-apple trees while the 2018 Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival in Gucun Park boasted more than 12,000 cherry blossom trees of 82 varieties.
These amazing trees will remain in bloom right through to the end of April, so if you fancy a quick colourful holiday in China you better get your skates on!

There is an assisted living facility I regularly visited last spring when I worked with the library bookmobile team, and they had a row of cherry trees that blossomed beautifully along the road. Nothing on the scale of what you've posted, of course, but a pleasant surprise while the rest of Spring in the Northwest US was still mostly drab.

Remember a similar thing when I lived in London. Once a year my (otherwise drab) street would come to life with colour. Sadly the cherries were not edible though!
There are quite a few here in the South of France too. And plenty of other fruit blossom :)
Bring on the summer!

Gosh, these look phenomenal. I just moved to Korea and woke up one morning to blossoms. It's my first time so I have a thousand or so pictures of these but the Chinese ones here look so spectacular! Isn't it amazing how the streets transform from being leafless and bare to being full of colourful blossoms. I can't stop marvelling at Spring.

These photos are simply stuning. Magnificent job. They really do resemble scenes from Avatar. The contrast with the deep greens is remarkable.

Thanks! Love a good bit of Spring. Bali was great but the seasons were not so obvious as they are here in Europe.
