While snowfall has swept vast areas of northern China this mid-December, the Cherry Valley on Wuliang Mountain in Dali, southwest China's Yunnan Province, paints a different picture — tea fields thrive in vibrant green hues, and winter cherry blossoms burst into full bloom, covering the branches in a vibrant burst of pink.

Every winter, as the cherry blossoms reach their peak bloom, the valley transforms into a must-visit destination, enchanting tourists from across the country who come to marvel at this seasonal spectacle.
