Peach Blossom destinations
1Wangmang town, Xi’an city
Wangmang Town is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in the southeast of Chang'an district. There are several places along the way to enjoy flowers, among which Xiaoyu stands as the most prominent. Every spring, over a thousand acres of peach blossoms bloom. The pink peach blossoms, the rolling Qinling Mountains, the stark blue skies, and white clouds form a pastoral picture. If you like peach blossoms, come and explore the fairyland.

Tips: In addition to the peach blossoms in March, the alpine azalea, flos sophorae, and peony flowers will bloom in April and May! In my personal opinion, I would like to call Lantian “the County of Flowers”
3 Taoxi Fort, Xi’an city
In March, the peach blossom petals fall into the stream near a certain fort. It looks like the stream transmutes into flowing peach blossoms, which is where the name “Taoxi” originates. (Taoxi, in Chinese pinyin, means “peach blossom stream”). There is a famous Chinese poem that originated from this place: “Peach-blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze” This March, come to Taoxi Fort to enjoy flowers and poetry.
