This year, several cherry blossom viewing landscapes have been added, and it is necessary to install lights and build roads. Several cherry blossoms have been opened. According to the staff of East Lake cherry orchard, the recent abnormal weather, unusually warm years ago and unusually cold years later, as well as the recent warm spring weather, have made early cherry varieties such as Chumeiren, Hanfei Sakura and Yunan Zaosakura open ahead of schedule. It is expected that the flowering period will last until the first ten days of March, when Yoshino, a Chinese cherry variety, will blossom one after another.
Plum blossoms and cherry blossoms are in bloom at the same time, that is, the mid-late varieties of plum blossoms and the early varieties of cherry blossoms are in bloom at the same time.
