Vrooms through blooms

A photographer's hot shots of a train bursting through blossoms are sizzling on social media and have compelled crowds to get on board to take the trip themselves. Yang Feiyue reports.

Photos of a high-speed train blasting through blazes of apricot flowers at Beijing's Juyongguan Pass have ignited a firestorm online.

Beijing Times photographer Pan Zhiwang snapped a few shots of a high-speed train that netizens say resemble a dragon winding through a sea of blooms when traveling in Beijing's Yanqing suburb during the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday.
