People swarmed to Broken Bridge, Lingyin Temple, Flower Nursery, and other scenic areas and spots around the West Lake last weekend. Hotels and B&Bs received 30% more orders compared to one week before, showing an obvious rising trend in the spring tourism market.

Pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, tulips, azaleas and jacaranda blossoms have caught people’s eye this year, especially the tulips, which have become the new hit on social media platforms since middle February. Take tulips in Prince Bay Park for example. Thousands of “fans” have already followed the updates of these beauties on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) although the peak bloom stage hasn’t come yet.
