Every year when spring arrives, plum and peach blossoms battle for space at Baita Mountain Park in Lanzhou, Northwest China's Gansu province.

Baita Mountain Park, which was built close to the surrounding mountains at an elevation of 1,700 meters, is a must-visit for spring visitors. It offers excellent subjects for painting and photography.
