The 51-day Wuxi Plum Blossom Festival in the Plum Garden, about seven kilometers west of downtown Wuxi, usually runs from Feb 4 to Mar 25. However, the latest snowfalls have delayed the flowering dates of the plum blossoms to mid-February, according to gardening experts. It’s a tradition for Wuxi people to admire the beauty of plum blossoms in early spring. [Photo from wxrb.com]
