Admiring plum blossoms at the stone pond above the clouds On the sixth day, we admired plum blossoms in the flower-selling fishing village, and a few big shots still hadn't had enough, so on the seventh day, we went to the stone pond above the clouds to admire the plum blossoms. In the flower-selling fishing village, perhaps due to the weather, the spring plum without sunlight still lacks something. The high mountain spring plum in the stone pond after the weather clears up, although its scale is far smaller than the flower-selling fishing village, under the warm spring light, it exudes a faint fragrance, fully showing its unique charm.​
