On March 15, the blossom season began at the Baili azalea scenic area, which spans 125.8 square kilometers in Bijie, Guizhou province. The season usually lasts until mid-April and can run as late as May.

One ticket enables a tourist to visit the area for three days, as the mountainous scenic spot has more than 60 species of azalea to view.

The Bijie government has planned cultural and sports tourism activities, including a sacrificial offering ceremony to a flower goddess, a movie festival, a traditional Chinese costume gala, parties, outdoor training courses and competitions.

Moreover, boats will take tourists to explore the unique geography of the Karst water cave in the area, and people can enjoy hot springs at local hotels.
