The weather is getting warmer and the flowers are in full bloom. I'm so glad that these apricot blossoms weren't ruined by the recent rain. They are currently blooming beautifully and densely, and there's a layer of petals on the ground. It's truly stunning. 🌸Flower Viewing Guide: 📍Navigation: Yijia Courtyard, Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu, near Gaoshan Village. It's an hour's drive from the city center. Driving is recommended, as the scenery along the way is fantastic. There will also be many peach and pear blossoms blooming soon, making it perfect for a spring outing. 💃🏻Is it crowded? The courtyard is in the mountains and covers a large area. Although it's become a bit of an internet sensation and there are more people now, the place is spacious enough. It's still a great experience if you avoid weekends and holidays. 🌷About the blooming period: The pictures were taken on March 20. There are still many blossoms. With the good weather recently, they should last for another 1-2 weeks. If you miss the blooming season, don't worry. The apricots will ripen in May, and picking fruits will be a fun experience too. 💰About the fees: Parking is free on the roadside. To enter the courtyard, it's 5 yuan/person with no time limit, which is very reasonable. 📷About taking photos: ▫️Go early to find a beautiful tree, set up a camp🏕️, have a picnic🧺, and take amazing photos under the tree. ▫️There's a relatively large tree in the courtyard, and the scenery under it is great. A telephoto lens is recommended. ▫️The bluestone stairs under the apricot blossom trees are very picturesque. ▫️There's a long cement road lined with apricot blossom trees on both sides. Be sure to take some photos on this road; it's incredibly beautiful. ▫️Take photos of the apricot blossom forest from a high vantage point, including the mountains in the background, for a super aesthetic shot. ▫️Sit under any tree for a wonderful atmospheric photo. ▫️This place is also perfect for traditional Chinese styles. Ladies in ancient costumes, don't hesitate to come!

Qingquan Town was first established during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was commonly known as Liaojiacang (earlier called 'Heming Township') because the Liao family gathered here at that time. In the early Republic of China, it was called Taiping Town, and after 1981, it was renamed Qingquan Town (Qingquan Town was named after an ancient well with clear spring water within its territory). Qingquan Town is the leader of the five markets in the Dongshan Hills ('Dongshan Five Markets' refers to the five most famous and prosperous market towns in the Hakka region of western Sichuan, including Liaojiacang, Shibantan, Zengzichang, Xihechang, and Longtansi). The market trade is developed, especially famous for the trade of seasonal fruits, vegetables, ginger, and Chinese medicinal materials. Currently, Qingquan continues to maintain a lively market atmosphere. Just looking at the names of these streets, you can feel the down-to-earth vibe, such as Dog Market Alley, Firewood Market Alley, Ginger Alley, Basket Alley, and Bluestone Road. The old street that is relatively well-preserved is Qiuyu Alley, which was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The street is about 700 meters long and less than 3 meters wide. It used to be an important market in the town. Now, it mainly has a few tea shops and home-style restaurants. At the entrance of Qiuyu Alley, I met an old lady who saw me taking pictures. We talked a lot. She regretted that Qingquan Ancient Town had not developed, saying that the nearby Chengxiang Ancient Town (16 kilometers away from Qingquan) had developed so well. I said, 'Maybe Qingquan currently doesn't have any public buildings. Chengxiang has the General Peng Jiazhen Memorial Hall, Xiuchuan Academy, Sanqing Temple, Chen's Ancestral Hall, Jintang County Government Office, etc. I heard that the Confucian Temple and Martial Temple have also been restored, so Chengxiang has developed well.' The old lady said, 'We used to have many temples and guild halls in Qingquan!' Historically, Qingquan Town had five palaces, four temples, and eight guild halls, but these ancient buildings no longer exist. I saw several huge and lush ancient banyan trees in Qingquan, and I guess these ancient trees are the sites of those temples and guild halls. At this moment, I suddenly didn't know what to say. Later, when I was walking through the old streets and alleys like Guangming Road and Heping Street, I kept thinking about what Qingquan's past looked like... When I was about to leave, I saw the shop sign in the 9th picture in Firewood Market Alley... (August 4, 2024)
