    "Efforts are being made to select the scenic spots. Compared with the previous ones, the scenic spots have expanded a lot, and the transportation connection has been perfect. Jingjiao cars, electric frequency cars, escalators, cable cars, save a lot of physical strength for people with inconvenient legs and feet. Recommended"

    "May 1 self-driving tour of Changting Ancient City, just happened to be raining ☔️. The red street dance in small Shanghai is not afraid of the expedition. It is very exciting! There is no parking space at the festival, and parking in the ancient city is more difficult. The famous snack bar on the street of the store has increased the price in disguise, which is very unhappy!"

    "The village itself is quite large, and there are many key points. I asked a tour guide to introduce it all the way and know a lot of knowledge. Now there are a lot of tourists, and there is a little bit less original ecology."

There are many varieties of cherry blossoms in Yongfu, mainly composed of red cherry blossoms, pink cherry blossoms and white cherry blossoms, which bloom in three flowering periods in turn. The flowering time varies each year depending on the temperature, and the flowering period is very short, usually withering in about a week.
