Spring excursion is a peach of an idea
From:Shanghai Daily  |  2021-03-29 07:29

What better spring break than a floral excursion?

Pudong’s outlying area of Nanhui is an ideal destination as Nanhui Peach Blossom Village, on 289 Beimen Road in Huinan Town, is holding a peach blossom festival.

On Friday’s opening day, performers wearing hanfu (traditional Han-style clothing) danced in white-and-pink clouds created by lush peach blossom. Peach flower treats, including pastries and wines, as well as flower-themed souvenirs like bookmarks and brooches were available.

Eighteen of Pudong’s intangible cultural heritages were on show, from traditional skills such as embroidery, stone carving and paper cutting, to countryside delicacies such as Xiasha shaomai (steamed dumpling), Gaoqiao songbing (crunchy cake) and Longtan jiuniang (sweet fermented glutinous rice).

The festival will be held in the village through April 6.

Real-time ticket booking is required, and tickets are available on various platforms, including Trip and Meituan. The admission fee for adults is 47 yuan (US$7.2).

The Pudong New Area also has designed five routes for spring outings and flower appreciation allowing people to take strolls in its beautiful backyards, and experience heritage-listed handworks.

After enjoying peach blossom, a visit to Haishen Village inHuinan Town will provide a stunning sea of yellowcole flowers. There, visitors can ride through farmlands, pick fresh strawberries and put on hanfu to take pictures.

In Laogang Town, there’s a grand lawn for people to have picnics and go camping, along with entertainment facilities for children. Folk art exhibitions, dragon and lion dancing performances, pear blossom appreciation and vegetable picking are on offer.
