As warmth returns, Haimen district in Nantong welcomes a lively early spring, with plum blossoms, magnolias, and cherry blossoms blooming in succession. 

The plum blossoms along Nanjing Middle Road add a bright splash of color to the season. Red plum blossoms bloom in full glory, while white ones add an elegant touch. As petals fall, they create romantic flower-lined paths, with their subtle fragrance lingering in the streets and alleys.
