Yunxian county is located on the edge of Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi provinces, in the north and west of Shiyan city in northwest Hubei, in the upper reaches of the Han River, and in the gentle slope of the remaining veins of the east extension line of Qinling Mountains. Known as "Five Ding Yu Shudao, Wuling Taoyuan" in history, it is the core protection area of ecological environment at the source of the national South-to-North Water Transfer Project. Yingtaogou Village is located at the junction of Shiyan City and Yunxian County, 4 kilometers north of Yunxian County, and 1/0/0 kilometers south of Checheng Shiyan. National Highway 209 passes through the country, two kilometers away from the village, and you can get on the Han Shi Expressway and the newly opened Yunxia Road. Cherry ditch is named after the wild old cherry trees all over the mountain, and the villages are scattered among the lush cherry trees, which constitutes a very beautiful rural pastoral picture. There are flowers in the mountains in spring, cherries, strawberries and peaches in summer and oranges in autumn, and the rural tourism resources are rich.

The original intention of the Sakura Valley Flower Festival is to add various local folk cultural elements to Yunyang with the help of various mountain flowers, which are mainly cherry blossoms. Through a series of activities popular with urban youth, such as riding, wedding dresses, camping, playing singing, flying kites and watching old movies, more people who like rural scenery and care about green and healthy life can find a home where they can live together physically and mentally.

The flower viewing festival will last from mid-March to May, and you can enjoy cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, peach blossoms, mountain peach blossoms, cosmos, Coreopsis and various wild flowers all over the mountains. At the same time, with the end of the mountain flowers, all kinds of cherry and strawberry fruits will mature one after another in May, so that visitors to Cherry Valley can fully enjoy the double feast of sight and taste.
