A UNIVERSITY in central China will use a microblog to broadcast the campus' famous sakura flowers during their blossom period due at the end of this month, a university spokesman said yesterday.
"Our university hopes to enable more people to enjoy the beauty of the flowers this way," said Qian Jianguo, office director of Wuhan University in Hubei Province.
Pictures of the flowers will be posted on the university's microblogging site at t.sina.com.cn/wuhandaxue, over a blossoming period of about 20 days, according to Qian.
Sakura flowers inside Wuhan University have become a well-known tourist attraction and the campus is considered one of China's most beautiful.
However, more than 1 million visitors swarm into the campus to watch the flowers bloom each year, causing overcrowding on campus.
"All visitors should be well-prepared for crowding within the campus and we suggest they stay away during peak hours," said Qian.
"It is also enjoyable to come and watch the sakura flowers in the early morning or in the evening."
University authorities announced new measures this year to curb overcrowding.
A round route within the campus was designated as acar-free zone, where auto-mobile traffic would be limited and vendor stalls would be banned, he added.
From today, student identifications or tickets will be required for entry into the campus. A ticket sells for 10 yuan (US$1.50).
