Early maturing varieties © in lychees Figureworm creativity

March red is the early maturing variety of lychees, named after the ripening at the end of March in the lunar calendar. Its fruit is heart-shaped, with a large core and a predominantly sweet and sour taste.
As an early-ripening variety, March red lychee preemptively opens the curtain for the annual lychee season, but also because it is ripe for the rare "competitive lychee" on the market and the high price, diners who can't stop looking forward to lychee can choose to taste it first, or wait for the "lychee army" to attack and then taste the sweetness.

Climb the Oxback Mountain and watch the magnificent sea of clouds
The majesty of the sea of clouds on the Niubei Mountain can be felt after reaching the summit, just like ten thousand horses galloping by, and the ever-changing waterfall of the sea of clouds spread out in front of the eyes. If you stay until sunset, the sunset will dye the rolling sea of clouds into a brilliant and colorful red.

Why now:
The weather is clear in April, so it's a good time to see the sea of clouds. The rainy season that followed not only made it difficult to climb the mountain, but also difficult to see the wonders of the sea of clouds. Whether it's a group outing for stunning views or a photography enthusiast with professional equipment on his back, it's worth the trip.
How to get there:
Visitors who drive by car and take public transportation can first arrive at the Changhaizi Visitor Center and switch to a scenic ferry bus to climb the mountain, which needs to be transferred once during the summit. You can also choose to stay one night at the camp at the top of the hill and experience the sunrise and the starry sky at once.
