This year's Plum Blossom Festival in Wushan, Chongqing, has adopted the theme of "Spring in the Three Gorges," with a focus on the concept of "one tree, one flower" and introducing the multi-dimensional interactive concept of "all roads lead to Wushan."
The festival aims to create a festive atmosphere at various locations, including the Wushan High-speed Rail Station, Wushan Airport, Wushan Tourist Center, and Wuxia-Shennü Scenic Area, by using flowers as a medium to bring together guests. The festival has combined the four major scenes of high-speed rail, airplanes, cruise ships, and buses to warmly welcome visitors from all over.
