Cherry blossoms
Viewing location
Picnic lunch
Friends
Blanket (optional)

Step 1: Choose a viewing location（选择一个观赏点）
Choose a viewing location. Spread a picnic blanket with your name on it under the trees to mark your place if you have selected a popular viewing location.

Step 2: Unpack your picnic lunch（自带午餐）
Unpack your picnic lunch and enjoy your meal with friends while viewing the cherry blossoms.

Step 3: Look at the cherry blossoms（观赏樱花）
Observe the blossoms from a distance and up close. From far away, the blossoms resemble clouds; viewed more closely, the delicate structures of the individual blossoms come into view.

Step 4: Observe the color of the blossoms（注意观察花的颜色）
Observe the color of the blossoms. Most cherry trees produce light pink to pure white blossoms, but some blossoms are dark pink or slightly yellow.

The color of some cherry blossoms may change while they are in bloom.

Step 5: Observe the leaves（观赏樱花的叶子）
Observe the leaves, if any, on the trees. On early blooming trees they may not appear until after all the blossoms have opened. With late blooming trees, they tend to appear before the blossoms.

In Japan, the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms is considered symbolic of the brevity of life and the frailty of existence.
