3.29 Real shot at Wuxi's Turtle Head Isle!! Truly the top tier of the cherry blossom world......
The crowd is really... too much...
Just got back, and I really have to exclaim again!! Wuxi during the cherry blossom peak season is too beautiful!!

1 Cherry Blossom Valley|Pictures 6/7
The cherry blossoms here are blooming densely, perfect for bringing a mat to space out under the cherry trees for an afternoon, and casually taking beautiful photos
Walking along the road, you will encounter cherry blossoms by the small river, as well as innocent pink lanterns and cabins that also make for great photos

I have to say!! The crowd is really huge!!! But!! I found a niche spot!!
That is the pond side of the Cherry Blossom Tower, where you can capture the entire view of the Cherry Blossom Tower in the reflection
Cherry Blossom Valley Parking Lot|Pictures 3/13
Also a treasure spot oh~ The important thing is that there are no people!!! A large area
of Somei Yoshino is blooming too beautifully!! And the color matching is very Japanese, you can get hundreds of photos in minutes!!

The framing composition is really amazing!! You can squat and capture the evening glow and fishing boats, very artistic~
5 Changchun Bridge|Pictures 1/2/10/11/14/15
I really want to say!!! It was worth it this year!! I saw the cherry blossoms at sunset..
It's so romantic, if you come to Turtle Head Isle to see the cherry blossoms, please remember to add this spot!!!!
Last weekend was already the peak blooming period! The cherry blossom season is short, estimated to last about a week~
No need to say, driving is just beep beep beep beep beep~
It's recommended to use public transportation, Wuxi Station has a special Cherry Blossom Tour 1, $5, you can also take the subway and walk there
If you want to see some other flowers, I also went to Liyuan (Picture 8), the peach blossoms are also nice, and the garden is comfortable to stroll around~
During the cherry blossom season, Turtle Head Isle is never short of people! If you want fewer people, you can come early in the morning
❷From the main gate of Chongmen, you can walk or take a car to the vicinity of Cherry Blossom Valley, about 2km away

Cherry Blossom Splendor in Wuxi, Jiangsu 🌸🏞️
#cherryblossom2024
Embarking on a journey around Taihu Lake in Wuxi,
A visit to Yuantouzhu is a must. 🌊
From late February to early April each year,
The air is filled with the anticipation of a spectacular cherry blossom rain. 🌸
Over 650 thousand square meters of cherry blossoms cascade like clouds across the sky,
Adorning the mountains and rivers surrounding Taihu Lake,
A breathtaking sight to behold. 💖
The pink-hued sky alone is enough to captivate your heart,
Enhanced by the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds,
Set against the backdrop of classical Jiangnan elegant architecture,
Wuxi becomes even more enchanting and delightful. 🏰
As the cherry blossoms reach full bloom,
Ten miles of cherry blossoms merge into a sea of pale pink,
And as the gentle breeze blows,
Petals gracefully dance, 🌬️
Creating a serene ambiance that soothes the soul. 🌸
Tips🌸
Wuxi's Yuantouzhu Cherry Blossom Valley boasts over 30,000 cherry trees of 100 varieties. 🌳
Early cherry blossoms typically bloom from mid-March to early April,
With flowering lasting 5-7 days for single or semi-double varieties. 🌸
Late cherry blossoms can extend for 7-10 days,
Depending on temperature fluctuations. 🌡️
Keep an eye out for hybrid cherry blossoms, which may bloom during this period. 🌸 #Wuxi #Jiangsu #TaihuLake #CherryBlossoms #SpringSplendor #NatureBeauty

March is the highlight of Wuxi, are you sure you don't want to visit Turtle Head Isle to see the more than 30,000 cherry trees in full bloom?

This is the correct way to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the spring of Jiangnan
After you say spring is not late, I arrive at the true Jiangnan.
It's time for the most beautiful moments in Wuxi again!
The romantic cherry blossoms🌸 paired with the unique scenery of Jiangnan are even more charming.
The cherry blossoms in Cherry Blossom Valley and the best spots by Taihu Lake are particularly beautiful.

One of the top three cherry blossom viewing spots in the world, the ultimate guide to Turtle Head Isle
🌸💮 As the end of March approaches, the cherry blossom season arrives. On the banks of Taihu Lake, the cherry blossoms fluttering on the corridors create an ultimate scenic beauty that makes one linger and forget to return 💕😍.
🎆 The ideal cherry blossom viewing route:
1⃣ Starting from the Chongshan Gate: Step through the hidden beauty of Chongshan, stroll through the Cherry Blossom Valley... visit the Jiangnan Orchid Garden, cross the Changchun Bridge, view the spring waves of Turtle Isle, admire the snow-like waves, and pay respects at the Guangfu Temple.
2⃣ Entering the park from the Dushan Gate: The view is all about Changchun Bridge-Cherry Blossom Valley (note the counterclockwise tour, some comments indicate that the Dushan Gate is now closed to the public).
❗ The scenic area opens at 8:00 every day, and whether you take a bus or a taxi, you will face traffic congestion. If you want to take pictures with fewer people, be sure to set off early 😉.
🎆 The cherry blossoms at night are even more unmissable! Starting at 17:00 every day, Turtle Head Isle Park will initiate a second ticket check system for entering the night cherry blossom area. LED lights shining on the cherry blossoms create a dazzling effect, casting a mysterious color in the darkness (hopefully the lights are not too purple, sometimes the lighting can be a bit gloomy) 💡.
🌸 If you have plenty of time, you can enjoy a full day in the park, and the night cherry blossom area is suitable for a detailed appreciation. Although there is a second ticket check, some visitors have reported that they were able to enjoy the night cherry blossom area without being checked again.
If you only have the precious weekend, and don't want to spend too much time in the park, you can refer to our itinerary: Buy a night cherry blossom ticket on-site at 20:00 on Saturday evening, when most visitors are planning to leave, fewer people and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms (⚠ note that the lights in the park go out at 22:00). The next day, you can get up early again, buy a ticket and enter the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
📷 Photo tips: First, wearing light-colored clothing will make you stand out more 😉, and it would be even better if you could bring a small stool or ladder. Second, if there are too many tourists, you can ask a friend to squat down and shoot upwards, so that your photo with the cherry blossoms will have more visual impact 💮.
🈲 Please avoid using drones, as they are prohibited in the park and can easily get caught in the branches, so it's better to be cautious.

Xiamen Tourism|Don't worry, the cherry blossoms in the Cherry Blossom Valley of Fox Tail Mountain have not yet bloomed
|Don't worry, the cherry blossoms in the Cherry Blossom Valley of Fox Tail Mountain have not yet bloomed.
🎉The Cherry Blossom Valley located on Fox Tail Mountain is considered a cherry blossom viewing sanctuary in Xiamen. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed on the eve of the Spring Festival, and the dreamy scene of cherry blossoms all over the trees has not been experienced.
🌸Although there are no cherry blossoms, there are still gains at this time. Torch lotus, false horsewhip grass, and blue butterflies have all bloomed. The flowers are lush and the branches are beautiful and the leaves are green. The colorful sea of flowers is spectacular, and the wooden houses are also covered with firecracker flowers. The terraced romantic and beautiful scenery is an unexpected gain of this trip, super out of the picture📸.
👀It is estimated that in another month, the cherry blossoms will bloom, looking forward to it.
