Last year, I didn’t go out much because of the epidemic.

Let’s make up for the missed beauty this year!

Take precautionary measures when you go out,

You can still take a wave of beautiful photos.

 

The main time period for viewing flowers in spring is divided into March/April to May. The flowering period of each flower is not long, so everyone should plan in advance to seize the opportunity.

The list below is mostly flower viewing spots within 1-2 hours of driving around the Bay Area, so you don't have to be too troubled by the problem of eating and going to the toilet on the road.

There will be continuous rain in the Bay Area next week, so friends can take advantage of this weekend to enjoy the flowers and go out!
