The fine weather for the past few days brought the cherry blossoms that were supposed to bloom in March to "go online" ahead of schedule and compete with the blooming plum blossoms.

The 21st was the first rest day after the Spring Festival. The temperature in Wuhan rose to 25 degrees Celsius, and the local people's enthusiasm for outing and enjoying flowers remained high.
At present, more than 20,000 plums in Wuhan East Lake Plum Garden are in full bloom, making it the first choice for many families to travel.
Wearing a light spring shirt, travel between the sea of flowers and tides, admire the plums, take pictures, and enjoy the quiet time of spring.
According to the staff of the scenic spot, during the Spring Festival holiday, Meiyuan receives 15,000 tourists every day.
The sunny weather also urged the early cherry blossoms of Wuhan University. Layers of pink and white cherry blossoms covered the branches, attracting teachers and students from the past to stop and take pictures.
Wuhan University’s official Weibo recently released a set of comparison photos of cherry blossoms in 2020 and 2021, with the text: “Last year in this garden today, visitors were absent and Luojia was silent; this year today, the spring breeze swayed and laughed. "Someone sighed: Spring blossoms, and all the good things will come as scheduled.
On February 19, as the temperature rose, a cherry blossom bloom near the library of Wuhan University.
Many tourists gathered around several cherry trees to take pictures.

Not only Wuhan University, but also in Hankou River Beach, Qingshan Park, and Dijiao Park, many early cherry blossoms have quietly bloomed.
Located in the Jiefang Park in Hankou, a few early-red rose cherry blossoms are particularly beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, echoing the plum blossoms not far away.
“The spring in Wuhan this year came very early, and it is a rare opportunity to enjoy plum blossoms and cherry blossoms.” On the morning of the 21st, Wuhan citizen Wu Ning brought his family to Jiefang Park.
She told reporters that taking advantage of the fine weather, the park in front of her house should not be missed.
According to Wang Xiuzhen, a senior engineer of landscape architecture in Wuhan, early spring flowers such as cherry blossoms bloom earlier due to the rapid rise in temperature this year, sufficient rain and suitable air humidity, which shortens the time interval between plum blossoms and cherry blossoms.
According to meteorological analysis, Wuhan had already "entered the spring" as early as New Year's Eve, about a month earlier than in previous years.
Wang Xiuzhen told reporters that at present, most of the cherry blossoms planted in major parks in Wuhan are evening cherry, which is expected to enter a large-scale blooming period in March. She said that in recent years, Wuhan has built a "new flower city", and "flower appreciation every month" has become the norm. Subsequently, peach blossoms, begonias, roses and other flowers will "take over" plum blossoms and cherry blossoms, achieving continuous blooming throughout the year. (Finish)
