In April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the famed Laojun Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley in Zhaotong city, Yunnan province. Standing on the viewing platform, you can overlook the cherry blossom lane and Sayu River with willows along both sides. 

At dawn, people can watch the sun rising above the distant mountain and sea of clouds, and breathe the refreshing air. At dusk, you can embrace the beautiful sunset while taking a stroll along the cherry blossom lane with friends. Clustered cherry blossoms seem like some pinky clouds in the sky. As a breeze blows, petals of cherry blossoms, like flower fairies, dance in the wind and then fall onto the ground. As night falls, when the flashing neon lights encounter the cherry blossoms, you can appreciate romantic cherry blossoms under colorful lights and enjoy the cool breeze from Yanliu Lake. It is a perfect time to take out your phone and capture this incredible night scene.
