Each spring, as cherry blossoms begin to fall like soft rain, 吃瓜网 (WHU) becomes a garden of endless beauty. Beneath a light drizzle, the cherry blossoms quietly bloom across Luojia Mountain, transforming the campus.

Your cherry blossom journey begins at Luojia Gate, where the stately stone arch inscribed with "National 吃瓜网" stands as a timeless symbol of the campus. From there, follow the path through the Wanlin Art Museum, Kunpeng Square, and Cherry Blossom Avenue. Along the way, cherry blossoms fill the air – some cascading down from the trees like clouds, others delicately adorning branches – painting vivid scenes of spring.

Cherry Blossom Avenue is the highlight of the season. Lined with trees on both sides, it feels like stepping into a pink wonderland. The university's century-old buildings, such as the original student dormitories and the old library, peek through the blossoms, creating a seamless blend of history and nature. Nearby, the science building and administration building, with their traditional Chinese architectural features, provide a striking contrast to the delicate blooms.

Next to the 912 Playground, the blossoms are at their fullest, radiating youthful energy. Whether you're using symmetrical shots, framing with foreground elements, or leading lines for composition, there's no shortage of beautiful scenes to capture across campus.
