Peach Blossoms remind us the Chinese New Year is coming.
The Peach Blossom is one of the popular floral decorations for the Chinese New Year.
Traditionally, the Chinese believe the blooming of red Peach Blossoms on New Year's Day
symbolises wealth and high positions in one's career.

The Chinese words on the picture mean "Fortune comes with blooming flowers".

I heard that if someone walk around Peach Blossoms, his / her true lover will appear. is it real ? Anyway, it is a very good shot with good composition. It reminds me Chinese New Year is coming.
