Peak bloom of cherry blossom gives Washington a lovely and elegant feel. Circling Tidal Basin, endless cherry blossoms burst into color in a beautiful display of floral fireworks. Tourists and photographers flood into the area and stop to admire the sea of pale pink and white flowers. Petals drift onto the calm water, but despite placid appearance, this is the command center for hardball policy making towards the world. Washington in itself is a popular tourism destination, and cherry blossoms produce a soften experience for people visiting this powerful leadership center. Perhaps that's why Washington beats many other places with much larger tree population to become a world famous site for cherry blossom watching.
