Chaoshan - A Lovely Scenic Spring Spot ⛰️🌸
Chaoshan Scenic spot is a lovely spring spot for blossoms. The park is massive and seems to have gotten better! You can now rent tent spaces and have your own picnic there. There’s now a cafe/restaurant near the Plum blossom museum which opens at 10 am. They have indoor & outdoor seats. I had my breakfast there and got a hot chocolate and a cheese croissant 🥐 for 52¥. Unfortunately I went on a day when the weather was quite dull, cold & windy, but during sunny weather days the park is full of visitors. You may want to go early. I reached at around 8.30 am and there was barely anyone around. There’s also a big area with tents selling food & entertainment for kids. It’s surely a family-friendly place 👨👩👧👦 The best time to see the blossoms is end of February to beginning of March. I went mid-march this year and most of the blossoms already fell off.
The entrance 🎟️ is usually 10¥, but it was free when I went (Mid-march).Opening hours 🕰️ : 8am - 5pm . I went by taxi 🚕 from Heyu Road line 9 🚇 station. The ride was about 20 - 25 mins.

Spring spot in Hangzhou
#flowerlover After weeks of pouring rain and dull skies, the weather these past days feels like a blessing. Blue skies, warmer temperatures and plum blossoms wallowing the arrival of spring!
Chao Mountain scenic spot is a popular spot for plum blossoms in Hangzhou. The area gets highly congested during that time. Some friends and I took a taxi and were stuck in a traffic jam for a while. The scenic spot is vast. If you wander further inside, there’s also a museum and a hiking trail a few meters away. Be ready for the crowd, especially on the weekends! We saw people having picnics and chilling in tents or hammocks. You may stumble upon very few kiosks in the park, but I’d recommend bringing your own food & drinks. This area is quite remote and there are barely shops around.
Best time to go ➡️End of February/Beginning of March
Entrance ➡️There is an entrance fee 🎟
How to go➡️Take metro Line 9 to Heyu Road & take a taxi 🚕. The ride is about 20-30 mins (May be longer if there’s a traffic jam) #plumblossom#flowergarden#springblossoms#spring#springtime#zhejiang#blossoms

Summer super mountain, Shili plum blossom snow sea
Yuhang Chaoshan is one of the three major beauty resorts in Jiangnan, China. Super Mountain Plum Blossom is famous for its Ancient, Wide and Wonderful. In the early spring of February, the flower buds bloom, the white flowers are scattered and scattered, and the square is ten miles away, such as the snow, the sky is empty. It is very spectacular. Although there was no plum blossom in this trip, the avenues that covered the sky still made us smell the fresh summer taste.
The northern part of Chaoshan is the original newspaper of Cixi, with Daming Hall inside. In 1933, the thieves were burned and later rebuilt. Although it has been repeatedly built, it has been going on for hundreds of years. There are five ancient plums in China, such as Chumei, Jinmei, Yumei, Tangmei, and Songmei. There are two super mountains - Tang Mei and Song Mei.
Tang Mei is located in front of Daming Hall in Daming Hall. It has been more than 1200 years ago. This Mei Luna has a variety of shapes and unique styles. Tang Mei is full of wind and frost, standing proudly and making flowers. Song Mei is in front of Daming Hall and has a history of more than 800 years. The tree body has been half dry, the ancient dry grievances, the moss is the body, just like the old man, but the spring thunder, the flowers open six petals, the ancient wood new branches, it makes people feel.
Da Mingtang is antique, flying horns, carved cloisters, and the sun shines into the eaves, which makes it more quiet. Behind Tang Mei is the Mei Culture Theme Museum, which introduces and displays poems, calligraphy and paintings related to plum blossoms. The entire museum was arranged in a quiet and quiet place, and the original boring museum also had a lot of fun and gained a lot of knowledge.
