Come to Gele Mountain Plum Garden and enjoy this early spring visual feast! The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, covering the earth with a layer of pink spring clothes. The fragrance of the red plum blossoms floats with the wind, refreshing and intoxicating. Now is the best time to enjoy the flowers. Friends who like photography and flower viewing, don't miss this beautiful moment! In the Shapingba Gele Mountain Hongyan Scenic Area, 50,000 square meters of red plum blossoms have entered the blooming period. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year. This year's flowers bloom earlier than in previous years. Now is the best time to go for a spring outing and enjoy the flowers. Flower viewing location: The red plum forest is mainly distributed on the east side of Baigongguan and the south side of Zhazidong in the Shapingba Gele Mountain Hongyan Scenic Area, as well as along the line from Baigongguan to Zhazidong. 📷 Photography: 1. There are many people in the sea of flowers, so it is recommended to go in the morning, not on holidays, and travel at off-peak times. 2. In the middle of the slope, there is a straight path in the middle, and the flowers on the steps at the entrance are very dense, so you can avoid the crowd. 3. There is a path on the slope and on both sides of the fork behind, and the flowers are also very dense; there is also a red plum forest next to it, which is also very photogenic. 4. The entrance to Zhazidong is very beautiful for taking pictures. You can also take a panoramic view of the opposite mountain, and you can see the red plum blossoms all over the mountain. 5. There is also the Zhazidong tunnel and the abandoned railway leading to Sichuan, which are also worth checking in and taking pictures. 📍Attraction address: No. 63, Zhizhi Road, Zhifa Third Village, Shapingba District, Chongqing 🏝️Reservation guide: No reservation is required for flower viewing 🚗Transportation guide: Take Metro Line 1 to "Lieshimu Station", walk to "Zhuangzhi Road" bus stop, transfer to Bus 210 to "Baigongguan Station", and walk 800 meters to the plum garden. 💗Other tips: Friends who drive by themselves, please note: 1.
