In March, the pear blossoms in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, bloom in full bloom.

I was expecting to see a sea of flowers like this in the picture below.

However, but, but... The picture was taken by someone else before. By the time we arrived, most of the pear blossoms had withered.

This is why the title I wrote "Jinchuan Pear Blossom Village" instead of "Jinchuan Pear Blossom". I wanted to write about this lovely village I saw, not just Pear Blossom.

The most famous place to see the pear blossom is the Shenxian Bao Scenic Area in Shaer Township, Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Let me call this place "Ewha Village".

Where there is a loss, there is a gain. Because I missed the best flowering period and the crowds of people who flocked to it were gone, I was able to explore the area at a leisurely pace.

To be honest, even without pear blossoms, this place is beautiful. Distant mountains cascade, clouds rise and fog, the sun is shining, the blue sky is white and white.

This is the river valley. Look up, slowly rising into hills; look down, cascading into the valley.

Because there is no longer a sea of flowers, the observation deck on the mountain is meaningless. So I gave up the observation deck on the high ground, walked up the field, climbed up and down, and felt the land.

In front of and behind the house, in the field, every household planted pear trees. Even though a large number of pear blossoms have been removed and green leaves have grown, I have also encountered some pear blossoms that are blooming.

Clouds and flowers, which is white?

In fact, the pear blossoms that grow leaves are also very beautiful, but the new leaves grow out, which means that the pear blossoms are over.

A local uncle told me that a larger pear tree can bear thousands of pounds of pears, and a smaller tree can also bear hundreds of pounds.

Looking forward to the Golden Autumn October Jinchuan Sydney ~

Moreover, the falling flowers also created another mood: falling on the ground. From the tree to the ground, it is a natural abstract pointillist.

Thousands of miles have traveled here to see the pear blossoms, of course, not only because of the beauty of the pear blossoms themselves, but also because of the environment in which the pear blossoms are located.

Pure air, clear blue skies, majestic mountains, cascading terraces...

I wandered around the village and sighed heartily: How beautiful this place is! The layers are clear and the eyebrows are vivid.

Clusters of new green dot the mountains.

When I looked back, I saw a family of cattle walking on the road, and I felt that this picture was very similar to a poem by Wang Wei.

Blossoming green onions! I saw that many green onions in front of and behind the house were topped with such hydrangeas, which was very beautiful.

The small stone walls are also lovely in the sun.

In a local home, I saw such a solar stove. The eldest sister said that she would soon be able to boil a pot of water.

Because there are few people who are leisurely, you can hear the birds chatting in pairs.

I had no destination, no purpose, and walked happily on the fields and paths, sometimes turning onto hard roads and waiting for the opportunity to go to the fields again.

I met several locals working in the fields and had a few conversations with them.

The uncle told me he was getting ready to grow potatoes and told me that "there were as many tourists as ants in the previous ten days or so." ”

The uncle saw me walking on the field and asked where I was going. I said casually.

The uncle said, "You are late, and the flowers have fallen a little better." ”

I said, "It's beautiful now!" You guys are so beautiful here!" ”

The uncle listened, stopped the work in his hand, straightened up, looked around, and sighed: "Yes, it is so beautiful!" ”

Another uncle pointed out a short way for me, and made a strong gesture, "Go this way, go this way."

I also met an aunt who was pinching rape moss in the field and preparing to sell it in the county town.

I said, "Auntie, you're so pretty here!" ”

The aunt replied: "Pretty is pretty, let you come to live for a long time, you don't like it." ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

Auntie said, "Inconvenient! ”

I didn't ask any more about inconvenience. The feelings of tourists and residents are difficult to communicate.

It's really beautiful here. Pear blossoms bloom in March, and colorful forests bloom in October. Even without pear blossoms and colored forests, it is a paradise. But maybe it's just a paradise in my mind.

If you can't come and see it, then please buy Kanegawa Sydney Pear or Sydney Pear Paste.
