Nothing says spring like blossoming flowers, and cherry blossoms have to be one of the most beautiful displays of springtime. When people think of these gorgeous blossoms, they often think of Japan – but China’s cherry blossoms are a competitive rival to their neighbor’s. People are gathering from all over the world to witness these colorful occurrences.

Festivals for these stunning blooms are being held all over China, and they are quite a site to behold. The 2018 Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from March 16 to April 15, features more than 12,000 cherry blossom trees from 82 varieties. But don’t worry, even if you can’t travel this spring you can still see the magical blossoms. Here are 20 magnificent photos of cherry blossoms.
