On January 4th, the peak blossom viewing period of the 23rd Liuxi Plum Blossom Festival commenced at Liuxihe National Forest Park. Within the park, 100,000 white plum trees are in full bloom, their delicate white flowers transforming the area into a winter wonderland, beautifully contrasting with the park's ancient pavilions and corridors.

The "Liuxi Plum Blossom Festival" is the most renowned cultural and tourism IP event held by Liuxihe National Forest Park and has been celebrated for 23 consecutive years.

Guided by the mentors, children explored the mysteries of the "Three Stanzas of Plum Blossoms": young ladies dressed in traditional Han-style clothes strolled through the plum garden, resembling a lively and graceful ancient painting; while photographers set up their cameras, eagerly capturing the elegance of the blossoms…

This year's festival features several exciting events including the Liuxi Xiangxue photography contest, plum-themed educational activities, ancient style photography sessions, and an award ceremony for the National Poetry and Couplet Competition. Additionally, a creative folk carnival has been added to cater to diverse visitors. While wandering through the plum grove, guests can enjoy ancient music performances, creative crafts, specialty foods, New Year-themed cultural creative products, and selected local agricultural specialties from the Conghua District of Guangzhou.
