Plum blossoms have arrived early in Xikou town of Fenghua district, Ningbo, quietly painting the mountains and villages in soft shades of pink and white.

In recent weeks, the region's plum trees have entered their peak blooming season. Across valleys, along village paths and through narrow streets, layers of delicate blossoms unfold like a living tapestry. The gentle fragrance lingers in the air, carried by the breeze and adding a sweet touch to the late-winter landscape.
