Best Cherry Blossom Viewing in Shanghai: Chenshan Botanical Garden

🌟 Must-visit spots: 1. The Lonely Tree: 🌳 Located near Gate 3, you'll see a hill slope right upon entering, very easy to find! 2. Quarry Garden: On the day of my visit, it was just a deep pit with a large lake, no waterfall, what a pity~ Be careful for your safety⚠️ 3. Inside Chenshan Botanical Garden, right after entering the main gate, there is a cherry blossom forest, neatly lined up along the roadside. 4. Ferry Pier, next to the 'Hydrangea Garden'. Enter from Gate 1, go straight without turning right, cross two bridges and you'll see it, a few trees around a ferry point. In fact, the cherry trees are quite spread out, and the best spots are often occupied by people filming. It's recommended to just pass by, no need to go out of your way to find them. Transportation: Take Metro Line 9 to 'Dongjing' station, exit from Exit 3, walk 300 meters north along Jiasong South Road, turn onto Shen Zhuan Highway and walk 200 meters east, then take the Songzhu Special Line bus from 'Tangqiao' bus station to 'Shekun Road' station to reach Gate 2 of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. 4.

I've found a hidden gem for cherry blossom viewing in Wuxi: Shangxian River.

I've found a hidden gem for cherry blossom viewing in Wuxi: Shangxian River.

Worried about the crowds at Wuxi's cherry blossom viewing spots? Don't fret! I highly recommend the cherry blossom avenue along Shangxian River. It's beautiful, less crowded, and offers a truly immersive experience. Follow this guide and set off on your adventure! 📍Detailed Address & Transportation Guide 📍Address: Located within the Shangxian River Wetland Park, the stunning cherry blossom avenue can be found along Shangxian Lake. 🚇Subway: Take Subway Line 1 to JinKui Park Station. Exit from Exit 2 and walk for about 15 minutes to reach this romantic sea of flowers. 🚗Driving: Navigate directly to the Shangxian River Wetland Park parking lot. There are plenty of parking spaces, making parking super convenient. However, it might get a little crowded on weekends, so it's recommended to arrive early. 🌸Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Period The peak season for cherry blossoms at Shangxian River is from late March to early April. During this time, the Somei Yoshino cherry trees are in full bloom, creating a breathtaking expanse of pink blossoms as far as the eye can see. To avoid crowds, it's recommended to visit on a working day or arrive before 9am or after 5pm. Not only will you enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, but the lighting is also perfect for taking photos. 📸Recommended Photo Spots 1️⃣Riverside Cherry Blossom Path: Along the winding cherry blossom avenue by Shangxian River, the water and blossoms complement each other perfectly. With the shimmering river surface as a backdrop, both panoramic and close-up shots turn out beautifully. Standing beneath the trees, as the breeze gently blows and petals fall like confetti, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a fairytale world. 2️⃣Wooden Boardwalk: The wooden boardwalk that meanders through the cherry blossom forest is an excellent spot for photos. As you stroll along, surrounded by cherry blossoms, low-angle shots capture the feeling of being enveloped by a sea of flowers. Portraits blend seamlessly with the blossoms, creating an artistic and fresh aesthetic. 3️⃣Distant Viewpoint: From the small hill in the park, you can overlook the entire cherry blossom avenue. With the vast expanse of blossoms as a backdrop, your photos will have a rich sense of depth. At sunset, the golden light casts a magical glow on the cherry blossoms, creating a mesmerizing blend of gold and pink. 👗Outfit Suggestions for Photos Light-colored clothing is the perfect choice for cherry blossom photos. A white dress exudes purity and complements the pink blossoms beautifully. A fresh light blue shirt paired with beige casual pants embodies the laid-back vibe of spring. If you love Hanfu, you can wear a flowing Hanfu with delicate hairpins and dance beneath the cherry blossom trees, looking like someone who has traveled through time. 💡Helpful Tips 🎫Shangxian River Wetland Park is free to enter, so you can enjoy this romantic experience without any entrance fees. 🌿Please appreciate the flowers responsibly and refrain from picking or damaging the branches, so that the beautiful scenery can be preserved for everyone to enjoy. 🍱There aren't many food vendors in the park, so it's recommended to bring some snacks and water. You can even have a pleasant picnic after admiring the cherry blossoms. 📷Remember to fully charge your camera and ensure you have enough space on your memory card. It would be a shame to miss capturing these stunning moments!

Shanghai Cherry Blossom Viewing | The Yoshino cherry trees at Chenshan are in full bloom, keep this guide handy

Shanghai Cherry Blossom Viewing | The Yoshino cherry trees at Chenshan are in full bloom, keep this guide handy

| The Yoshino cherry trees at Chenshan are in full bloom, keep this guide handy.🤩🤩🤩 I never expected that two years later, I would catch up with the mid-blooming cherry blossoms at Chenshan again, which shows it was meant to be~ 🌸🌸🌸 In my opinion, Chenshan is the ultimate cherry blossom spot in Shanghai. However, after seeing the early blossoms last year, the weekend crowds dampened my enthusiasm😔. This year, I was hesitant about whether to go cherry blossom viewing and where to go. The women's welfare at my workplace includes a half-day off in March that I haven't taken yet, and April is approaching.😜 Fortunately, this year's blooming period is a week later, let's go see the cherry blossoms! 🚗🚗🚗 I wanted to go to Gucun for convenience, but my daughter prefers Chenshan. I checked and found that the Somei Yoshino cherry trees were 50% in bloom, and they are expected to be in full bloom this weekend, so we went off-peak on Wednesday afternoon😘. 📅 Shooting date: March 27, 2024 💰 Scan to buy tickets: Adult ticket, 60 yuan/person; Student ticket, 30 yuan/person 🅿️ Parking navigation: No. 3888 Chenhua Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai (Gate 1) 🚇 Public transport: Sheshan Station on Metro Line 9 —— Bus 95 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Upon entering the park, I was still stunned by the spring scenery. It was forecasted to rain all day, and the park was filled with casual cherry blossom viewers, with few commercial shoots. Although the flowers were not fully bloomed, the slightest bit of sunshine☀️ made the mood especially pleasant. 💌 Photo outfit tips: 1. Try to choose solid-colored clothing👗, which will complement the pink cherry blossoms nicely. This time I wore a trench coat🧥, I personally prefer comfortable everyday outfits. 2. Since the flowers were not fully bloomed, we brought a📸 long-focus 70-200mF2.8 lens. The compression effect of the long-focus can make the flowers appear denser, making the photos look more thematic and aesthetically pleasing. 3. As for the shooting location... let's be a bit Versailles, it's easy to take pictures with no people around wherever there are fewer people. I must recommend the bus station🚏, the area nearby is easy to capture wide scenes without people.

Countdown to the full bloom of cherry blossoms in Hangzhou, sharing ten small cherry blossom viewing spots

Countdown to the full bloom of cherry blossoms in Hangzhou, sharing ten small cherry blossom viewing spots

1⃣ | 🌸 Liangzhu Big Roof In the morning, the cherry blossom path shrouded in mist is enchantingly picturesque. However, for me, the serene beauty of the cherry blossoms at night surpasses the bustling scene of the day. Under the night sky, the pale pink cherry blossoms interweave with the warm white lights to form a quietly beautiful scroll. 2⃣ | 🐟 Flower Harbor Watching Fish Just 500 meters from Prince Bay, this is a place where the breeze is refreshing and the fragrance of flowers is overwhelming. The beauty of cherry blossoms reflected on the water surface, with red carps swimming leisurely underneath, undoubtedly occupies the top spot in my heart for cherry blossom viewing! 3⃣ | 📚 Yunsong Book House This library, funded by Mr. Jin Yong, aims to provide a tranquil space for reading and creation. It seems like a hidden paradise, away from the hustle and bustle, and a gathering place for literary friends. 4⃣ | 🌸 Agate Temple Although there are not many cherry blossom trees here, they are tall and straight, complementing the classical garden and adding an elegant touch. The entrance to the temple is hidden in the depth, and one can easily miss the beauty within. 5⃣ | 🍃 Quyuan Fenghe No need to say much, the classic spots here are so coveted. The golden morning mist is heart-stirring. If you can't grab the best spot, try to capture a unique angle with a wide-angle lens through a small gap, but remember to be safe. 6⃣ | 🍵 Tea Museum In front of the wooden thatched house, cherry blossoms bloom like clouds and mist, with the babbling brook adding a touch of tranquility. Not far away, cherry blossom trees grow along the steps on the large lawn, creating a dreamy landscape. 7⃣ | 🏞 White Pagoda Park The place is bustling with people, but the scenery is ever-changing, featuring railways and green trains, making it extremely suitable for shooting fresh and natural portraits. 8⃣ | 🎢 Children's Park This is a paradise for children, with tall and magnificent cherry blossom trees in the central square, plus colorful climbing nets, slides, and other facilities, filled with childlike fun. 9⃣ | 🐢 Turtle Pond This niche secret spot has both early and late cherry blossoms, with few people and beautiful scenery, it is a treasure spot in my spring viewing route. 🔟 | 🌸 Binjiang Cherry Blossom Track Along the banks of the Qiantang River, nearly 2000 cherry blossom trees compete to bloom. It is recommended to start from the "Changhe Road" subway station, ride a shared bike, and roam along the Fuxing Bridge section. Continuing to share wonderful travel information from all over the country, welcome to follow and become a travel explorer together!
