3. South of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River
Time to See: from the end of March to early April
The rape flowers seen south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, known as Jiangnan, are as graceful as a watercolor painting, reflecting the typical spring atmosphere in the area. Early spring is still chilly with cold breezes and showers, and the rape flowers are like the ushers bringing the warm spring.
