Local farmers started a massive planting of apricot trees on the barren area in the 1970s. The Huangli apricot was listed as a national geographical indication brand for agricultural products in 2016 and has been playing an important role in raising local farmers' incomes.
The festival, held for the fourth consecutive year, will last till Monday, while the blossoms will remain on the trees till the end of March.
