PANZHIHUA, China, Nov. 23, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

While most of China has entered early winter by November, with some regions 
already blanketed in snow, Panzhihua City in Sichuan Province is a whole 
different story. The colorful urban scenery and temperate weather are two signs 
indicating that the most comfortable health preservation season in this city 
has arrived.

On November 16th, the "Warm City of Flowers" Health Preservation Season 2023 
Press Conference hosted by Panzhihua Municipal People's Government announced 
the beginning of this year's health preservation season. Other than traditional 
activities like sunbathing and savoring fresh fruits, this year's campaign also 
features a wide range of events such as sports competitions, healthy exercises 
and cultural tourism.

Three main events including the National Final of the 18th League of Legends 
City Heroes Championship, the 2023 National Hiking Trail Premier League Final, 
and the 2nd Rural Culture and Art Festival of Sichuan Province are scheduled to 
take place in Panzhihua.

From late November to next March, Panzhihua will also host a number of 
activities in different fields such as motorcycle tour, cyberpunk rap, cosplay 
show and e-sports week, the 14th Panzhihua Happy Sunshine Festival and 
badminton invitational, with the hope that visitors can immerse themselves in 
the enthusiasm and charm of Panzhihua through a diverse variety of experiences.

Thereafter, the city will unveil a series of tourist-friendly policies and 
offer a full spectrum of thoughtful services to visitors, so as to create a 
high-quality travel experience.

Panzhihua is named after a flower ("hua") and it is the only city with its 
entire region listed on the list of "Climate Livable Cities in China". In 
recent years, this winter-free city has capitalized on its advantages such as 
sufficient sunshine resources, comfortable weather conditions and a picturesque 
environment in successfully branding itself as a sunny destination for health 
preservation, rising as a top winter escape and travel destination among both 
Chinese and overseas visitors.

Other than the pleasant climate, the cuisine of Panzhihua is also quite a 
calling card. Take for example the Yanbian mutton rice noodles, known among 
Chinese netizens as the "top must-try breakfast" and a stomach-warming delicacy 
particularly suited to winter. The city is also a major producer of fruits from 
mango and loquat to pomegranate, as well as early-spring vegetables, among 
which Panzhihua mangoes are usually available between June and December each 
year, allowing people to taste the delicious "Tropical Fruit King" even during 
the winter.
