TheQingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, takes place each year betweenApril 4th and 6th. As both a traditional Chinese festival and a solar term marking seasonal change, Qingming is a time for honoring ancestors and embracing the renewal of spring.

In Huangling, Qingming coincides with themost breathtaking season of the year. The village is surrounded by terraced fields that burst into bloom with goldenrapeseed flowers, creating a stunning, layered landscape. Walking through this vibrant sea of yellow is like stepping into a living oil painting, full of warmth and vitality.

Beyond the rapeseed fields, visitors can enjoy thehundred-meter-long cherry blossom corridor, stroll through acolorful azalea garden, and admire the delicate blossoms ofpear, plum, and apricot trees, all set against the timeless backdrop of Huangling’s ancient village architecture.

Qingming is also a time to taste and make traditional seasonal delicacies. Visitors are invited to try their hand at craftingQingming Fruit, a local specialty. With guidance from Huangling villagers, guests can usemugwort juice to knead green dough, then fill it with a savory mixture ofwild onions, radish, tofu, and cured meat. Shaped into charming forms, these festive snacks are as fun to make as they are to eat.
