The Blossom Chase
Mid-Mar: Wuhan cherry blossoms + Wuyuan rapeseed terraces (yellow seas). Apr: Beijing crabapple + magnolia season, Hangzhou peach blossoms on West Lake. May: peonies in Luoyang (national-flower spectacle).
Longjing Harvest Season
Late March-early April = pre-Qingming (mingqian) tea: the year’s most coveted green tea, picked in Hangzhou’s hills. Visit during harvest for roasting demonstrations and first-flush tastings – our Hangzhou tours time this.
Spring Weather Reality
Gorgeous but volatile: 20°C sunny mornings can turn to ‘plum rain’ afternoons (esp. south). Pack layers + umbrella; our itineraries build indoor backup options daily.
Crowd Notes
May 1-5 Labor Day = second-biggest domestic travel wave. Late March and May 20+ are the quiet sweet spots.
