peach blossom












After the cherry, now is the season for peach to blossom. A Tang dynasty poet and governor of Hangzhou designed the scenery for this then-just-repaired causeway in the lake. On this 1000-metre long walk, willows and peach trees are planted at certain intervals, or to be more exact, one willow, and one peach, and then one willow, and then one peach. Every year in early April, when the willow leaves turn green and peach flowers blossom the fullest, I always linger and wonder about it's a dream or a fact.
