Lianzhou City, Qingyuan
In northern Guangdong, Lianzhou City in Qingyuan has declared the peach blossom its city flower. The region is recognized for its extensive peach tree distribution, lively colors, and long blooming period, with over 333 hectares covering fields, village paths, mountains, and gorges. It is said that you may find a peach garden every hundred meters.
Thanks to favorable latitude, altitude, and climate, Lianzhou's peach blossoms display rich, vivid color that distinguishes them from other regions.

Temperature and light variations in Lianzhou's mountain-gorge terrain cause peach blossoms to bloom sequentially from mountain peaks to riverbanks. This provides vibrant flowers throughout March and supports off-peak visits.
Lianzhou provides a complete flower viewing experience across several venues. At Lianzhou Underground River Scenic Area, visitors can admire peach blossoms among stone forests and spectacular stalactite caves. Guests may also cruise the Huangchuan Three Gorges to see blossoms along the riverbanks, then walk across the glass bridge to take in a panoramic blossom-filled view from above.
