Spring Version of "Jiangsu Glimpses" Launched -- Charm of Jiangsu in Spring, an Encounter of Flowers and Tea
NANJING, China, Apr. 18, 2022 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

In April 2022, the English cultural and tourism magazine "Jiangsu Glimpses", 
produced by the "Charm of Jiangsu" Global Communication Center, has launched a 
new spring version which recommends interesting spring folk customs, beautiful 
museums and fun routes in Jiangsu. 

What winter takes from here, spring will give it back. This classic verse by 
Heine is especially evident in "Charm of Jiangsu". After a winter of dormancy, 
the flowers on the Meihua Mountain in Nanjing are budding, the Biluochun tea 
stretches on the Xishan Mountain in Suzhou, the Artemisia Selengensis and 
Kalimeris Indica emerge from the ground, and the puffer fish also feel the 
warmth of the spring river. When spring comes to Jiangsu, people will see the 
beautiful flowers, tea and food of spring.

It has become a habit for Chinese tourists to come to Jiangsu to see flowers in 
spring. The city flower of Nanjing is the plum blossom, which glows on the 
Meihua Mountain near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum; Yuantouzhu scenic spot of the 
Taihu Lake is one of the three major cherry blossom viewing spots in the world, 
also a story of Sino-Japanese friendship; Rape Flower in Taizhou Xinghua 
Duotian is one of the four major flower seas in the world; Yancheng Dafeng 
Holland Flower Sea is known as the "Best tulip scenic spot"; Yangzhou Marco 
Polo Flower World has the world's largest flower carpet; "Natian Flower Sea" is 
located in Santai Mountain National Forest Park, Suqian, Jiangsu, which 
includes 612 flower fields that are "stitched" together... Spring comes and 
grows on the branches of these flowers, releasing the unique fragrance of 
spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

Tea is another gift that comes with the spring of Jiangnan. Every bud sprouting 
in spring awakens on mountains in Jiangsu, making the spring scenes tastable 
and admirable. Many teas with poetic names are all from Jiangsu, such as 
Suzhou's Biluochun tea, Nanjing's Yuhua tea, Liyang's white tea, Yixing's 
Yangxian tea, Yangzhou's Lvyangchun tea and Maoshan's Changqing tea. During 
this period, the tea field can not only produce quality teas but also is a nice 
place for tourists to go for a walk. Tea trees are pickier to choose their 
planting sites than humans. Nowadays, people follow the footsteps of looking 
for tea and enjoy one-stop services in Jiangsu including transportation, 
accommodation, sightseeing, and food. In addition to the tea fields, tourists 
can also walk into the surrounding tea houses, scenery parks, picturesque 
villages, modern tea factories and tea museums.

In the spring of Jiangsu, tourists must not miss the fresh food such as 
Qingtuan and Preserved and Braised Fresh Meat. In addition, Huai'an Kaiyang 
Cattail, Yangzhou Puffer and River Clam from the "City of Gastronomy" as well 
as seasonal wild vegetables such as Toona sinensis, Kalimeris Indica and 
Artemisia Selengensis are very suitable to enjoy in spring.
