Going to
visit annual cherry blossom in D.C./Carlos Pueblo
I am going
to visit the annual cherry blossom in Washington D.C. next week
even though
I am a week late for the peak of 2016, of course, I mean that I
am a week
late for Somei Yashino and a week too early for Kwanshan cherry.
I have been
to D.C. for the annual cherry blossom festival since 2010 and missed
At least
twice for Yoshino yet caught Kwanshan instead. Yoshino is graceful while
Kwanshan is
charming. I have been very fortunate for this annual visit instead of
a long trip
to Japan in the spring. Cherry blossom only lasts for a week and is very
difficult to
make an accurate travel arrangement for the right peak time.
Hanami means
to meet the flowers blossom which is an activity of the spring.
The
newspaper will remind the people when is the peak time of the year,
Sakura Zensen
or the frontier of cherry blossom to monitor the peak nationwide.
From early
February in the southern Kyushu Island to late April in the northern Hokkaido
Island and
again in the fall for the frontier of red leaf, the maple, from the north down
to the south
till early winter.
D.C. is the
national capital and of course, maintains a top standard of a city especially
in the
federal building area. A lots of flowers blossom in the spring and a lots of
visitors
from all
over the world which make it very interesting to visit. I also take time to
visit
the famous
Smithsonian on the national mall. One year, I even ran into to an exhibition
of Taiwanese
orchids.
