Known as the "Hometown of the Catalpa Flower," Xihu Resort attracts numerous visitors during the catalpa flower season from April to May, when the falling flowers are as beautiful as snow. Spending the night at Xihu allows guests to admire the blooming catalpa flowers; in the early morning, the ground is carpeted with beautiful flowers, and sunlight dances through the treetops, creating a scene reminiscent of being covered in snow, presenting a soft spring hue.
