🌸 About Wuxi: Featured on the Spring Festival Gala, Wuxi is a must-see during cherry blossom season. Come experience the vibrant spring scenery of Jiangnan! ✈️Shenzhen Airlines promo code available. Fly after work on Friday and return Sunday evening without using vacation time. Immerse yourself in the romantic spring of Jiangnan! Day 1️⃣: Cherry Blossom Blitz at鼋头渚 (Yuantouzhu). Enter through the Dushan Gate and follow the Changchun Bridge → Cherry Blossom Valley → Cherry Blossom Pavilion route to avoid crowds and maximize your blossom viewing. 🔸Changchun Bridge: A perfect spot for photos in Hanfu, especially stunning at sunrise and sunset. 🔸Cherry Blossom Post Office: Buy a wind chime and write down your wishes. The shimmering Taihu Lake and cherry blossoms make a perfect backdrop for photos! 🔸Cherry Blossom Valley: A sea of pink blossoms, ideal for low-angle shots. 🔸Cherry Blossom Pavilion: Overlooking the entire cherry blossom forest, perfect for high-angle shots. 🔸Water Cherry Blossom Viewing: Take a free boat ride from Yuantouzhu Wharf to enjoy a panoramic view of Cherry Blossom Valley (boat ticket included in the entrance fee). 🔸Night Cherry Blossoms: Don't miss the Changchun Bridge light show at 7pm. Use your phone's Pro mode and lower the ISO to prevent overexposure. Day 2️⃣: Zen Healing at拈花湾 (Nianhuawan) 🔸Deer Cry Valley: A bit far from the central area, but with fewer people and beautiful flowers! Better for photos! Enjoy a morning cup of tea at the Deer Cry Teahouse. 🔸Brahma Flower Sea: Cherry blossoms and ancient-style buildings are a perfect match for photos. Go early to avoid the crowds! 🔸Fragrant Moon Flower Street: Features Tang Dynasty-style song and dance performances, handicraft shops, and snack bars. This is the heart of the scenic area. 🔸Cloud Relaxation Hall Singing Bowl Sound Therapy: Relax and relieve fatigue with breathing meditation surrounded by soothing aromas. A great way for workers to unwind and ease anxiety! Remember to book in advance! 🔸Smiling Square: Nianhuawan drone show in the evening. Arrive 1 hour early on weekends to secure a spot. Folding stools are available for rent for front-row seats. ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣Hanfu is recommended. 2️⃣Yuantouzhu tickets are CNY 90 (including boat ticket); night cherry blossom tickets are CNY 115 (open from 4pm - 8:30pm). If you have a daytime ticket and don't leave the park, you don't need to buy a separate night ticket! 3️⃣It's recommended to stay overnight at Nianhuawan. It offers more evening activities and fewer crowds than Yuantouzhu. 4️⃣Choose a window seat for your flight back to Shenzhen from Wuxi. With luck, you can take aerial photos of the Yangtze River Delta cherry blossom belt for a unique travel souvenir. 5️⃣Cherry Blossom Forecast: Early blossoms around March 10, mid-season blossoms around March 20, and late blossoms in early April. The week after next is recommended! Spend wisely and enjoy your trip!
