Hu Guoqing is an award-winning photographer and member of the China Photographers Association.
His work, Flowers Blossom in April, captures the beautiful spring scenery in Nyingchi in Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region in late March and early April 2017.
As Hu traveled along the 318 National Road in Nyingchi, he met all kinds of people, such as pilgrims to Lhasa, hikers and cyclists, who became the subjects of his photos.
Peach flowers and people in focus create a beautiful and harmonious picture.
