LHASA, April 16 (Xinhua) — In early spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom in Kala Village of Nyingchi City, southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, where the signature peach blossom festival opened in late March, attracting swarms of tourists to the village.
Boasting a vast number of peach trees, mostly wild, across its mountainous terrain, Kala Village is known for its picturesque views of white flower blooms with snow-capped mountains in the background.
The unique landscape has become a cultural and economic symbol of the plateau region. From January to March this year, Nyingchi received nearly 2.31 million tourist visits, with the total tourism income topping 2 billion yuan (about 281.58 million U.S. dollars).
