Anhui Dangshan Pear Blossom Festival is here again. When the annual pear blossoms are in full bloom, many friends look forward to driving to visit the great rivers and mountains. In this spectacular and beautiful place, you can feel the most moving scenes of spring. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Located in the northernmost part of Anhui Province, at the junction of seven counties (cities) in the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan, Dangshan County is known as the "Pear Capital of the World" and the "Hometown of Fruits". "China's most beautiful sea of ??pear flowers" - one million acres of contiguous orchards, known as the ecological miracle in the Huang-Huai-Hai region, is also the largest contiguous orchard in the world.

Dangshan Su pear has a cultivation history of 3,000 years. The "Xuzhou Fu Zhi" revised by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty already recorded the production of Dangshan Suli. There are still more than 60,000 old pear trees, with an annual output of 3 billion kilograms of various fruits, including about 1.5 billion kilograms of Dangshan Su pears. It is one of the top ten fruit-producing counties in the country.

The aerial photography of Dangshan Pear Garden is as white as snow, with a faint fragrance blown by the breeze. Smelling it from a distance is refreshing. Looking at the pear blossoms in the garden, I suddenly understood the beautiful scene of "just like the strong spring wind coming at night, blowing open the petals of thousands of pear trees."

Along the long stream, pear blossoms, peach blossoms, and cauliflower intertwined with each other, like a colorful picture, full of poetic lingering belonging to spring.

The beauty of pear blossoms has been recited by countless literati from ancient times to the present, whether it is "The pear blossoms in Bai Juyi's "Pear Blossoms on the River Bank" are full of yearning and fallen leaves", or in the article "The Bodhisattva is full of palaces and the moon is bright, the pear blossoms are white" "The pear blossoms with the bright moon are white" is still the "old friend thousands of miles away from Guanshan" in Su Shi's "Pear Blossoms in the East Lan"

Every year from the end of March to April, Dangshan will hold a huge Pear Blossom Festival. This year, affected by the epidemic, Dangshan County held the online Pear Blossom Festival for the first time. This year’s theme is “Spring comes from Dangshan and travels around the sea of ??pear flowers.”
