The first buds of spring have arrived in Ningbo, as early cherry blossoms bring a wave of pink to Ningbo Botanical Garden.

The garden has already welcomed a growing number of visitors after the Spring Festival holiday, eager to catch the first signs of the season. Over the past three days alone, more than 5,000 people have come to admire the delicate flowers.

One of the garden's most iconic spots is its cherry blossom avenue, a scenic pathway about 1,000 meters long, lined with different cherry species.

The blossoming peak will arrive in late March, when more than 4,000 cherry trees bloom simultaneously. Their dense clusters of blossoms resemble drifting snow, creating a dreamy sea of flowers that signals the height of spring.
