As spring paints East China in vibrant hues, Hangzhou’s Tangqi town emerges as a must-visit gem for travelers and culture seekers. Known for its 1,000-year history and sweet loquat fruit, this ancient destination is now trending among global nomads seeking history-meets-nature escapes.
CGTN stringer Lily Ye explored Chaoshan Mountain, where mume blossoms – celebrated since the Tang Dynasty (619-907) – blanket slopes in delicate pink. 'It’s like stepping into a classical Chinese painting,' she noted, describing hikers weaving through fragrant trails lined with centuries-old trees.
Beyond flora, Tangqi’s preserved Ming-era architecture offers Instagram-worthy backdrops, while local markets showcase loquat-based delicacies. With sustainable tourism initiatives gaining momentum, officials report a 40% year-on-year increase in international visitors drawn to its unhurried charm.
For digital nomads, new co-working spaces with mountain views blend productivity with serenity. As seasonal direct flights from G20 nations resume, Hangzhou’s spring magic proves timeless borders need not define timeless beauty.
