Don't miss the spring scenery, especially when the flowers bloom and look beautiful. At present, the three islands of Chongming are full of spring, and the 2023 Chongming Flower Festival is still in full swing. Over the past weekend, a series of Flower Festival activities have been carried out in full swing, and many citizens and tourists have come to admire the beauty of the ecological island in spring.

In the main venue of Dongping National Forest Park, various flowers such as tulips and cherry blossoms are blooming, ushering in the most beautiful flower season.

The main flower of the Flower Festival is tulip this year. Under the metasequoia forest, 1 million tulips spread out all the way, blooming with various colors, and the fragrance of flowers came from the breeze. “Tulips are blooming brilliantly, and we have taken many photos", Aunt Liu, who lives in the urban area of Shanghai, learned from her friends that the Chongming Flower Festival is being held, and went to Chongming to take a walk and admire the flowers. "I want to feel the spring of Chongming”, she said.

Cherry blossoms are also not to be missed. In the cherry blossom garden of the forest park, hundreds of acres of cherry blossoms bloom on their branches in spring, blooming into a sea. “The flowers are blooming beautifully, and there aren't too many people here. This is definitely a treasure trove for cherry blossoms, "Aunt Liu sighed. Compared to the scene of "ten persons competing for one tree" in some cherry blossom scenic spots in the urban area, people can achieve the pleasure of "one person enjoying ten trees" here, feasting their eyes and immersing themselves to the fullest.

Going on a spring outing and appreciating spring is not enough just to look at it with your eyes. The taste buds can also feel the taste of spring. Many tourists sit down to drink a cup of jasmine rose tea when they are tired from browsing, and the taste is refreshing. You can also sign up to learn from a master about the production of patterned pastries, such as peach blossom cakes, cherry blossom pastries, and Chongming traditional plate cakes. What you eat is sweet, and what you taste is traditional flower culture.

Beauty has also come to compete for spring, and rapeseed flowers have entered the season of blooming. On April 1, in the vast sea of rapeseed flowers located in Xinhai Town, the Xinhai Flower Festival officially began. The reporter walked into the Yuejin Agricultural Base in Xinhai Town, where thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers were blooming. The spring breeze blew by, and the elegant fragrance was intoxicating. The rapeseed flowers swayed in the wind, surging like golden waves.

On April 2, the Haitang Cultural Tourism Festival in Sanxing Town officially kicked off, adding double the excitement to the island. The theme of the Haitang Cultural Tourism Festival is "Flowers Blooming into Thousands of Families" this year. Amidst the boundless spring scenery, the annual Haitang Cultural Festival gathers, meets, and learns about flowers, exploring the integration and development of ecology, culture, and industry. Haitang has become the most beautiful business card of the town.

Sanxing Town is the largest begonia planting area in East China, where 100,000 varieties of begonia have settled and taken root. It is also the largest begonia research and processing center in Shanghai, and a series of deepening measures such as optimizing begonia varieties, developing the begonia industry, and cultivating begonia culture are all being promoted here.

In the era of post Flower Expo, flowers have brought more than just changes to the ecological environment. Chongming is constantly trying to use flowers as a medium, deepen measures, expand publicity, fully showcase the development of the flower industry and the unique culture of flowers, further gather tourism popularity, promote tourism consumption, and let Chongming flowers bloom new effects in the post Flower Expo era.
