Free plum blossom viewing spots in Yixing, pet-friendly with stunning, uncrowded flower fields!

I recently visited Huzhou and made a side trip to Yixing, where I discovered two hidden gem plum blossom fields! They're absolutely stunning, perfect for letting your dog off-leash and taking beautiful photos! 🌸 Zhangzhu Jiuling Green Plum Garden 🧭 Navigation: Jiangsu Meidu Health Food Co., Ltd. ✅ Park your car on the small road opposite Jiangsu Meidu Health Food Co., Ltd., where you'll find a large plum garden. ✅ The plum blossoms here are mainly green plums, which are relatively short and ideal for taking pictures of dogs or children. ✅ If you want to see the green plums, go quickly! Due to strong winds and temperature drops, more than half of the green plums have already withered and are not as vibrant as they were during their peak bloom. ✅ There's also a small patch of rapeseed flowers behind the green plums that are about to bloom, offering a photo opportunity of rapeseed and plum blossoms together. ✅ Walk along the path behind the garden to find another large area of green plums, creating a breathtaking, expansive view! 🌸 Lishan Red Plum Garden 🧭 Navigation: Lishan Red Plum Garden ✅ Navigate directly to Lishan Red Plum Garden. Parking is available along the small roads inside, free and convenient. ✅ This large area is mainly filled with red plums. The red plums on one side of the road are in full bloom, while those on the other side have already fallen. ✅ The red plums are currently blooming well and haven't been significantly affected by the strong winds and temperature drops. They seem quite resilient and are estimated to last until mid-March. ✅ This plum blossom field is perfect for flying drones, offering a spectacular aerial view! ✅ The red plums, combined with the small brick houses in the background, create a classical, elegant atmosphere. You can also capture photos of fallen petals in the water. ✅ Cherry trees are planted along both sides of the road, and some are already in bloom. 🌈Tips: ✔️ Both plum gardens are open to the public, free of charge, and allow dogs if the crowd is small. ✔️ Driving is recommended. ✔️ If you bring your dog, be sure to bring wet wipes or gloves, as there's some mud on the ground, although it's generally manageable. ✔️ After viewing the plum blossoms, you can visit Dajue Temple or Yaohu Ancient Town, but neither of these attractions allows dogs.
