An over 66-hectare cherry blossom garden in Zhongxian county, Southwest China's Chongqing — thanks to the rising temperatures of spring — recently bloomed, drawing numerous visitors with its vibrant colors and delightful fragrance, eager to take in the picturesque scene.
The expansive garden, located in Yinshan community of Zhongxian's Baigong subdistrict, is home to over 100,000 cherry blossom trees, showcasing nearly 50 different varieties. Among these are popular types, such as the weeping cherry, Kawazu-zakura — a renowned Japanese cherry blossom variety — and the bell-flower cherry.
Thanks to the diverse range of species and the unique microclimate of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, here, the cherry blossom season extends from mid-January to mid-April. This extended blooming period effectively addresses the traditional short cherry blossom viewing season, offering residents and tourists a three-month-long floral spectacle.

Welcome to Chonqging, my present and will be final home town. Although I've not seen cherry blossoms in the urban area where I live, there are flowers blooming now nearby.
Spectacular!
For sure.
That's from my local dialect!
When I was living in Berkeley for school many, many years ago I knew someone from Pittsburgh, PA. He had lived in L.A. for three months before moving to Berkeley, and he knew I was from L.A. The first time he heard me say "for sure" he immediately exclaimed: "That's an L.A. 'for sure!'". Totally correct.
Well, I've been to L.A. 3 or 4 times in my life, so maybe I picked it up when I was there.
For sure.
