Peach blossom flooding means that the river swells when peach blossoms bloom in early spring.

Peach blossom flood, also known as spring flood, peach blossom flood and peach blossom water, refers to the flood caused by the melting of the Yellow River in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia in February and March. Named for its blooming in March. In the peach blossom season, the scenery is spectacular.

The peach blossom flood season, marked by the opening of the river on the riverside, has brought great vitality to the Great Wall Plateau. Therefore, it was in the spring of March and peach blossoms were in full bloom, hence the name. Peach blossom flood, from late March to early April every year, the ice in the upper reaches of the Yellow River melts to form a spring flood. Downstream, because it coincides with the peach blossom in coastal mountainous areas, it is called peach blossom flood. The phenomenon of river surge in peach blossom season is called peach blossom flood.

Dengkou County, located at the bend of the Yellow River, is the best place to enjoy the landscape of the Yellow River.

The difference between peach blossom flood season and summer flood season;

1, the occurrence time is different. Peach blossom flood, also known as spring flood, usually occurs in spring, mainly due to the warming of climate, melting of ice and snow, or alternating cold and warm air currents leading to heavy rain, which leads to the rise of river water level. The summer flood season mainly occurs in summer, and it is often due to the heavy precipitation process or the melting of snow in alpine glaciers that the river water level rises.

2. The reasons are different. The peach blossom flood season is mainly caused by the warming weather in spring, the melting of seasonal snow, the thawing of rivers and the falling of spring rain. In the summer flood season, the river water level rises mainly due to the heavy precipitation process in the basin or the melting of snow in alpine glaciers.

3. The influence of the two is also different. The peach blossom flood may cause the water level to rise sharply, and eventually flood the beach or burst its banks. This is the so-called Hong Ling. In the summer flood season, it is easy to cause waterlogging. Peach blossom flood season mainly occurs in the northern region, especially in the Yellow River basin, because a lot of ice and snow will melt in these areas in spring. Summer flood season may occur all over the country, especially those areas that are easily affected by heavy rain.
