Recommended Highlights
Cucumber Mountain Pear Blossom Festival: The white pear blossoms, delicate and fragrant, are elegant yet not overwhelming, bright yet not intense. Every year from mid-to-late March, tens of thousands of pear blossoms burst forth on the branches, covering the mountains in continuous stretches of snow-white blooms for miles. Coupled with various festive activities, the festival attracts enthusiastic participation from nearby cities and districts.
Cucumber Mountain Fruit Picking Season: During summer and autumn each year, pears, blueberries, strawberries, and grapes on the mountain ripen in succession. Visitors can enjoy the joy of bountiful harvests and experience the fun of picking fruit themselves.
