Xi'an's March Blossom Season: 300 Acres of Peach Blossoms at the Tomb of Prince Min of Qin

It is the mausoleum of Zhu Shuang, the first Prince of Qin during the Ming Dynasty (second son of Zhu Yuanzhang). In recent years, approximately 280-300 acres of mountain peach trees have been planted here. Every March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, they form a sea of pink and white flowers, creating a picturesque contrast with the historical relics and making it a popular destination. 2. Highlights - Blend of Flower Sea and Ancient Tomb: The peach forest surrounds the burial mound and spirit way, resembling a "Peach Blossom Wonderland" from a drone's perspective. Visitors can experience the dual charm of nature and history. - Cultural Significance: Ming Dynasty stone carvings (including ornamental columns, stone tigers, and civil officials) are preserved on both sides of the spirit way, offering a combined experience of flower viewing and historical exploration. - Hidden Gem: Compared to popular parks in the city, this place has fewer tourists, making it ideal for taking spring photos away from the crowds. --- II.
