There are many types of early cherry blossoms, and the flowering period (from initial opening, full bloom to flower falling) is one week. The late cherry blossom period can be 7-10 days. Affected by the temperature rise rate, there is a 5-12 day interval between the early and late flowering periods, during which some hybrid varieties of cherry blossoms bloom. Generally, Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms enter the peak flowering period in mid-to-late March, which is the best viewing period. The specific period of peak flowering depends on the weather at the time. If there is cold air, the peak flowering period may be delayed.You can enjoy beautiful lotus flowers in summer.Yuantouzhu also has many historical sites and private gardens built by celebrities in the past, such as Hengyun Villa with the gatehouse of "the best place in Taihu Lake" and Changchun Bridge, and Guangfu Temple, an ancient temple in Wuxi.
