When will the apricot flowers bloom in Kashgar Township in 2021?

In spring, in addition to cherry blossoms and peach blossoms, apricot blossoms are also a beautiful sight not to be missed. In early spring, the apricot flowers in the north and south of Xinjiang's Tianshan Mountains bloom for the second time, and they are so beautiful. Apricot flowers in Datong generally bloom at the end of March and early April, and the flowering period is short. If you want to see almond blossoms, you can go to Kashgar from the end of March.

When will the apricot flowers bloom in Kashgar Township in 2021?

Every year at the end of March and early April, the Yarkand River Valley and Taxkulgan River Valley here are filled with gorgeous apricot flowers. Because the Pamir Valley is only 2,000 meters above sea level, coupled with ample sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays, the daytime temperature is no different from that in the plains. After the temperature drops sharply at night, the wonder of falling snow appears all year round. Apricot blossoms and snowflakes coexist. In the valleys under the snow-capped mountains and beside rivers, there are almond trees everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most beautiful Xinghua Village in the world. A hundred years ago, apricot trees covered the sky and cloud-like flowers bloomed proudly, just like a fairyland. Muji Township at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains is not only famous for its volcanic ruins, but also has the most beautiful wetlands in the world.

The apricot blossoms in Datong Township are in bloom

The apricot blossoms in Datong Township are relatively sparse, mainly concentrated in Taer Township and Kukesiluk Township. We will also spend more time photographing in these two towns. Of course, the flowering period of apricot flowers will be affected by temperature fluctuations, and the specific date is still not 100% accurate. If time permits, it is recommended to go to Kashgar from late March and enter the Pamir Plateau according to the flower conditions.

The best flowering period

Every year when the apricot blossom season comes, everyone will be very nervous, because everyone is counting the flowering period of the apricot blossoms and planning to travel. In previous years, the apricot blossoms were at their peak around April 5. However, the temperature varies every year, and the flowering period will move slightly, and it can be as early as the end of March or early April at the earliest.

But the flowering period of apricot flowers is very short. It only takes about 7 days from opening to flowering, so it takes a certain amount of luck to enjoy the most beautiful flowering period. Based on the flowering patterns over the years, referring to the current temperature forecast and consulting local relevant practitioners, it is initially predicted that the Turgen apricot flowers will bloom around April 5 in 2021, and will enter the peak flowering period around April 8, and will last until around the 18th.

Of course, forecasts are also susceptible to changes in temperature. Every year, many photography enthusiasts go to Xinjiang from the end of March to wait for the flowering season. The Chinese aerial photography team was stationed in Ili for more than half a month before it came to fruition.
