Spring Has a Message | The Plum Blossoms of Xixi Wetland Have Faded

Since the eve of the Spring Festival, I have been paying attention to the plum blossoms in Hangzhou, from the initial buds to the later falling flowers like snow. The plum blossoms, with their pure and lofty spirit, awaken the spring days of the south of the Yangtze River. After several cold snaps with snow and freezing rain, the transition from winter to spring in Hangzhou was somewhat abrupt. At the end of February, I visited Xixi Hongyuan, where, it was said, a few plum trees were still in full bloom. Indeed, upon entering from the ticket-checking area, several plum trees were still crowded on the branches, but they seemed to be drooping, lacking vitality, except for one by the entrance of Qingping Mountain Hall, which still looked particularly charming against the backdrop of the grey tile walls, but I guess it will also shed its flowers in the next few days. The current state of Xixi Wetland is still a bit withered, still the thin and desolate scene of winter days. The lanterns at night add a lot of romantic atmosphere, but as someone who is just passing through, I cannot wait for the night to come. With the plum blossoms' curtain call, when the wind rises again, spring will not be far away. My heart grieves for the plum blossoms I have not met; to see even one branch is to have enough for the year. This year's plum blossoms are enough to console the emotions of those yearning for spring. Directions: Wujia Bay Parking Lot
