Plum viewing in Lingfeng is an annual event for Hangzhou people. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Feng Ling's visit to plum blossoms". Today, there are 5000 plum trees and dozens of varieties planted in Lingfeng Scenic Area. In season, there is a sea of incense at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain.

People in Hangzhou are infatuated with plum blossoms, especially Lin Bu in Song Dynasty, who took plum blossoms as his wife. His poem "The shadow is shallow and shallow, and the fragrance floats at dusk" is still recited by people today. There is a scene of "Meilin returning to the crane" in the 18 scenic spots of West Lake in Qing Dynasty, which shows that the plum blossom in Gushan is extraordinary.

There are more than 500 plum blossoms in Gushan. There are not only many varieties, but also early plum and late plum. As early as before the winter solstice, plum blossoms can bloom in the evenings around Tomb-Sweeping Day, and sometimes the flower viewing period in Gushan lasts for nearly three months. In recent years, Gushan has planted a large number of precious plum products. Besides Hongmei and Bai Mei, purple plum, green sepal plum and Yuanyang plum are also planted.

Another classic plum viewing place in Hangzhou is Super Mountain. It is 30 kilometers away from downtown Hangzhou, and it is listed as one of the three major plum-exploring resorts in the south of the Yangtze River because of its "Ten Miles of Plum Blossom Fragrant Snow Sea". Plum blossom has been cultivated for thousands of years, and there are two Gu Mei plants in Tang and Song Dynasties, which are especially precious.

Super mountain plum blossom is famous for its "ancient, wide and strange" three wonders. In ancient China, there were five beauties: Jin, Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan. In 3354, Chaoshan ranked second in Tang Mei and Song Mei. Refers to the super mountain plum blossom that stretches for more than ten miles; Odd means that all the plum blossoms in the world are five petals, while the super mountain plum blossom is six petals odd.
