Golden peach blossoms in Guiyang's Xiayuan village are in full bloom, weaving a picturesque tapestry of springtime beauty as a sea of pink and white flowers intertwines with the traditional ethnic dwellings.

Beyond the natural scenery, Xiayuan's ethnic culture adds a rich dimension to the flower-viewing experience. Flagstone paths connect white-walled houses, while intangible cultural heritage elements such as batik and embroidery are integrated into the village landscape.

In farmhouse courtyards, visitors can enjoy Bouyei rice wine, ancient brewing techniques, and the making of grey tofu, immersing themselves in the unique charm of ethnic culture.

The village has launched several spring-themed activities:

1) Flower viewing from the observatory: Overlook the entire sea of flowers, with a wide field of vision that is perfect for family photos.

2) Village trekking: Stroll along ethnic village trails, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy springtime views.

3) Intangible cultural heritage workshops: Make Bouyei embroidery pendants by hand to preserve a unique memory of spring.

4) Farmhouse cuisine tasting: Savor authentic local dishes such as firewood chicken and wild herb rice cakes, or participate in the Xiayuan "village feast" to experience rustic flavors.
