The spring has come with various kinds of scents that awaken people’s senses after a long winter. For people in SIP, it is now the best time to go outings.

On the right bank of Jinji Lake, the tulips in front of the sculpture “Flying” bloom vibrantly in the breeze, and their delicate petals are rendered bright and elegant by the sunlight.

In the distance, the towering Oriental Arc (also known as Gate of the Orient) stands majestically, forming a delightful contrast with the glistening Jinji Lake.

Visitors to the Winter Island of Baitang Park can smell the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms even before getting close. Along the path, red and white plum blossoms bloom in full splendor. The plum trees are reflected in the water, creating a scene reminiscent of an exquisite oil painting.

The Lianchi Lake Park is another good place to enjoy plum blossoms.

In the Zhongtang Park, the plum blossoms have not yet fully bloomed, but the specks of vibrant red buds dotting the branches are beautiful, too, hinting at the imminent spectacle of lush flowers.

At the old Xietang Street, the quaint garden scenery complemented by clusters of plum blossoms showcases a unique charm. The subtle fragrance of the flowers immerses the strollers in a tranquil and delightful atmosphere.

The plum grove in the Dongshahu Eco-Park will soon be in full bloom as well.
