I ask where a tavern can be found; a shepherd boy points far off to Apricot Blossom Village." Where exactly Apricot Blossom Village is has long been debated. One account places it in Fenyang, Shanxi; another places it at Phoenix Terrace in Jinling; and there is also Apricot Blossom Village in Guichi, Anhui, with a stretch of apricot groves extending for ten li around. When the lovely spring month of March arrives, "on the apricot branches the spring wind settles; for ten li the misty village is all one red" - this is one of the ten famous sights of Guichi.
