As spring is approaching in March, the major parts of China now get warmer and warmer, welcoming the blooming spring flowers. As is known to all, Chinese people had to stay at home for epidemic control reasons in the spring of last year. This year, with the elimination of domestic Covid-19 in China, tourists can go for spring outing and appreciate flowers, which in turn causes a boom in flower tours.

Besides, the bookings for scenic areas famous for spring flowers saw an increase of 115% compared with the same period in 2019. In the following spring months, an even larger number of tourists can be expected to join the China flower tours. 
 

On one hand, with the implementation of effective epidemic control measures, such as health code checking, wearing masks, and regular disinfection in public places, the medium and high-risk areas of Covid-19 in China has been eliminated, which ensures the safety of travelers.
