Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley (Nanjian)
无量山樱花谷
Winter cherry trees fill the high-mountain tea gardens of Wuliangshan Town in Nanjian. Each December, pink blossoms interweave with green tea rows, making it a popular winter photo spot.
The Cherry Blossom Valley is located in Wuliangshan Town, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County. It was once a high-altitude tea plantation on Wuliang Mountain at about 2,000 metres above sea level. Between the tea rows, winter cherry trees are planted across large areas, blooming from mid-December to early January. The pink sea of blossoms, terraced tea gardens and morning mist create a striking scene. The valley is known as Wuliangshan Cherry Blossom Valley and has become popular on Xiaohongshu and Douyin in recent years, so it is crowded with people and cars on peak-season weekends. The valley has viewing platforms and trails for walking and photography, and visitors can drink Wuliangshan tea at the tea factory. Entry is currently free, though parking or shuttle buses may charge fees during peak season, so check on site. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from Weishan old town. The Nanjian–Jingdong Expressway has a 'Wuliangshan Cherry Blossom Valley' exit. The mountain roads have many bends, so it is best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. Temperatures are low in the mornings and evenings in winter.
