She also enthusiastically told me where else I could get stamps, very grateful, but I'm not that keen on collecting stamps, just wanted to keep one as a souvenir, so I didn't go to the stamping place separately, interested friends can ask more I prefer the niche cherry blossom forest at the Tea Museum, Suitable for people like me to visit and take photos, The location is near West Lake, accessible by bus. - 📍Address: China Tea Museum Shuangfeng Museum Area (Note: Not the Longjing Museum Area) ⏱️Opening Hours: 9:00～16:30 Closed on Tuesdays ✔️How to Reserve: Wuyou West Lake App - Online Reservation - Venue Reservation - China Tea Museum Shuangfeng Museum Area ⏱️Visit Duration: One to two hours 🚗Self-driving Navigation: Parking lot of China Tea Museum Shuangfeng Museum Area 🚌Bus Arrival: "Shuangfeng Station", get off and walk for about 5 minutes, the specific location of the cherry blossom forest is next to the main building of the Tea Museum. - 📖Tips 1️⃣The blooming period is roughly from early March to mid-March, about two weeks. 2️⃣Arriving after 3:30 pm, there will be fewer tourists, and you can take photos until 5 pm. 3️⃣Along the way, you can also see the beautiful snow willow flower "waterfall". 4️⃣It is also very convenient to take a taxi, easy to hail.
