        On March 20th, the thousand-acre ancient apricot forest from the Ming and Qing dynasties in Beigou Village, Yangping Town, Lingbao City, presents a breathtaking spectacle. White and pink blossoms blanket the sandy slopes, as if they are a sea of flowers.

Strolling through the ancient apricot grove, the air is filled with the rich fragrance of apricot blossoms. Clusters of flowers burst into bloom on the branches, exuding an invigorating spring vitality. Under the warm sunlight and in the shade of greenery, the petals are as delicate as cicada wings, charming and beautiful. Visitors eagerly take photos to capture the beauty of this spring scenery, and enjoy the blissful moments amidst the apricot blossoms.

Located in a region with sandy soil that is loose, fertile, and expansive, Beigou Village enjoys ample sunlight and strong air circulation, which make it an ideal environment for the growth of apricot trees. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, local villagers have been extensively planting apricot trees here, and the high-quality apricot fruits have become well-known far and wide. At present, over 300 ancient apricot trees remain, with some dating back five to six hundred years. Every mid-to-late March, the slopes are covered with blooming apricot flowers, attracting a large number of tourists and photography enthusiasts to come for spring outings and flower appreciation, enjoying the beautiful spring scenery.
