Hangzhou flower viewing is not limited to spring.

Hangzhou, known as "Paradise on Earth," attracts countless tourists with its beautiful natural scenery, rich history and culture, and unique Jiangnan charm. It is also famous for its distinct four seasons and diverse floral landscapes. From February to October each year, every corner of Hangzhou is filled with the fragrance of flowers, attracting tourists to admire their beauty. In the chilly February, Hangzhou's flower viewing journey quietly begins. Along the West Lake, early cherry blossoms bloom, their pink and white petals swaying gently in the breeze, as if whispering the arrival of spring. At the end of the month, the breathtaking cherry blossoms at Zhejiang University's Yuquan Campus attract countless visitors. The variety of cherry blossoms here is truly dazzling. In March, Hangzhou's flower viewing spots become lively. At Taiziwan Park, tulips bloom into a sea of flowers, their colorful blossoms shining in the sunlight, attracting many tourists. In the beautiful month of April, Hangzhou enters its peak flower viewing season. Peonies bloom into a sea of flowers at Gushan Park, and the azaleas at Liulang Wenying create a fairytale-like world. In May, at the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, the flowers in the Rose Garden compete to bloom, their fragrance intoxicating. The rose corridor at Baima Lake is even more enchanting, with flowers blooming to their fullest. In June, lotuses reign supreme in Hangzhou. They can be seen in various parks and lakes, becoming a highlight of the summer landscape. Quyuan Fenghua is a must-visit place for lotus appreciation, where the dewdrops on the lotus leaves glisten in the sunlight, making it a truly unforgettable experience. During the hot summer months of July and August, Hangzhou's high temperatures cause many flowers to enter dormancy, but there are still some that bloom quietly. In addition to the continuously blooming lotuses, wild sunflowers and cosmos bloom in the sunlight in some mountainous areas and villages of Hangzhou, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer. In September, the fragrance of osmanthus begins to drift through Hangzhou. The scent of osmanthus trees fills the streets and alleys of the city. In some ancient courtyards and temples, osmanthus is given a mystical meaning, becoming an important symbol of traditional culture. In October, Hangzhou's autumn flower viewing journey comes to an end. Manlong Osmanthus Rain still emits a faint fragrance of osmanthus, while some autumn flowers such as chrysanthemums and spider flowers begin to bloom.
