Two century-old crabapple trees are currently in full bloom at the foot of the Yin Mountains in Urad Rear Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, creating a feast for the eyes of residents and visitors alike.

The crabapple flower, with its rich cultural significance, has been beloved by Chinese scholars and poets since ancient times, and was traditionally a token of love, beauty, and good fortune.
