Spring exclusive: Hangzhou’s Cherry Blossom Valley is in full bloom

If you're looking for a great place to enjoy spring in Hangzhou, consider heading to Lin’an to see this valley filled with vibrant red cherry blossoms.

On March 7, the 4th Linglong Miji Cherry Blossom Appreciation Event 2026 officially opened! Located in Miji Village in Linglong Subdistrict of Lin’an District, this nearly 1,000-mu cherry blossom forest is now in full bloom. Around 100,000 “China Red” cherry trees blanket the valley in vibrant crimson. From afar, the blossoms look like soft pink clouds covering the hills.
