Spring is here and the Cherry Blossom Festival began at the weekend at Wuhan University in central China.

Japanese Cherry Blossom trees line the 300 meter boulevard, with snow white blossoms in full bloom. The university says it has tried to control visitor numbers to limit disruption to campus life, but despite that, 100,000 people have flocked there to enjoy the floral delight.

The blossoms are early this season because of the relatively warm winter.
