The Chinese have a knack for rhetoric, as evidenced by the phrase ‘Suddenly like a spring breeze in the night, thousands of pear blossoms bloom,’ which likens snowflakes to pear blossoms. In the scenic area of Jinhai Snow Mountain in Yinzhai Village, Panjiang Town, Guiding County, Guizhou Province, pear blossoms stand in for snowflakes—where the ‘snow mountains’ are vast expanses of pear blossoms, and the ‘golden sea’ is the rolling waves of rapeseed flowers. As the spring breeze of March passes, both rapeseed and pear blossoms burst into smiles overnight, with golden yellow and snowy white intermingling, earning the area the picturesque name ‘Golden Sea Snow Mountain.’ People, after a winter of hibernation, don fresh spring attire and wander through the spring scenery of Guiding’s Golden Sea Snow Mountain. Among the blooming flowers, the most brilliant are the rapeseed blossoms, and among those strolling through the sea of flowers, the most eye-catching are the young ladies dressed in ethnic minority attire. The village where the scenic area is located is a culturally intact ethnic minority village, encompassing Yinzhai, Luohai, Zhulinbao, Maidong, and many other natural villages, where one can experience the rich ethnic minority customs at every turn. The scenic area has specially created popular internet-famous photo spots favored by both children and adults, with cute cartoon characters from animations and stylish decorations, all nestled in nature yet retaining a touch of human charm—everything is just right. One can see the undulating mountains under the azure sky, the distinctive blue-tiled houses and fire walls of the Buyi ethnic villages, and the golden rapeseed fields resembling a golden carpet, all encapsulating the vibrant vitality of spring. When hungry or tired, one might visit the romantic food carts amidst the flower sea to purchase local specialty snacks and products, such as the sweet and sour pear fruit leather and the rich, sweet fermented rice cake, both worth a taste. Riding in a small flower cart along the sea of flowers, one can gaze upon the boundless golden rapeseed sea, creating a dazzling pastoral oil painting, evoking the exuberance of spring. The beauty of the rapeseed flowers is both splendid and simple. In the fields and among the wild, they bloom casually in the sunlight, naturally and casually, radiating a dazzling golden light, with their own momentum. Children can frolic freely between heaven and earth, pitch tents for a long-awaited camp under the warm sun, ride the Ferris wheel to take in the beautiful spring scenery, and enjoy the glass skywalk, off-road karts, and various water activities without a word. From a bird’s-eye view, the mountains, flower sea, forests, and ribbon-like clear waters form a heavily pigmented landscape oil painting, with the vitality of nature and the joy of people merging with it, ready to burst forth. The beautiful spring of 2024 has arrived, and the Golden Sea Snow Mountain scenic area in Guiding, Guizhou, has her brightest smile. Are you ready?
