The Romance of Seaside Cherry Blossoms in Luoyang, Rediscovered

Windows open on all sides, the wind delivers sea clouds.

In an instant, one feels that all the flowers are in bloom.

Cherry blossoms adorn the mountainside, contrasting with the azure waters where boats gently sway.

Harboring thoughts of seeing the sea and frolicking in the water, I was unexpectedly rewarded with blossoms.

A delightful turn of events indeed.

After a day of picnicking, I waited for the sunset at the edge of the cliffs.

Watching the crimson sun descend, transforming in hue as it sank,

While on the opposite horizon, the moon silently guarded the sky.

Again, I beheld the sunset, its afterglow bathing the entire valley in its radiance.

This, surely, is one of life's simple romances.
