The Turtle Head Park

It's been raining these past few days, but today it has cleared up. The weather is also very nice this weekend, it's expected to be extremely crowded. 💡The cherry blossoms last for 7 days, by next weekend they'll probably be almost gone. 💥If you want to avoid the crowds, you really have to be in the first group. I got up at five in the morning, and arrived at the gate just as the sun was rising. After taking a round of photos, the tour groups arrived. Changchun Bridge is already too crowded to pass through.😂

There are really too many people, all the drink machines in the park were sold out, and the shared power banks were all borrowed out! We were in a hurry when our phone batteries were almost dead, looking everywhere, and finally got a charging cable at the front desk of the Cherry Blossom Manor. Many guides say that going early means fewer people and better photo opportunities. But we wanted to see the night cherry blossoms, so we went around 2 pm, which was just the right time. Attention!! Quick entry guide: Take the subway to Meiyuan Kaiyuansi Station, come out of Exit 5, there are local motorcycles on the roadside, 10 minutes to the Dushan Gate scenic entrance.

I took another trip to Turtle Head Isle a few days ago during the peak blooming season. This time I wanted to capture some different scenes, so I got up at three in the morning and rushed to the Cherry Blossom Pavilion. I didn't expect that when I arrived, there were already a lot of people there. Due to the lighting and human interference, I couldn't capture the ideal image I had in mind.😐 It wasn't until 5 a.m. when the majority of people had left, during the blue hour, that the sky still faintly had stars scattered about, and the moon was just right on the left side of my frame. At this perfect moment, I pressed the shutter. People rushed into the building to add some warm lighting, and I finally got this photo that I'm very satisfied with!‼️ Afterward, as the sky gradually brightened, although some clouds interfered with the light and it wasn't the best, I still managed to take some quite satisfying photos.🌸 The blooming season is really very brief!

The Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Route at Turtle Head Isle! Follow this and you won't tire your legs! The blooming period is expected to last until early April! This means that the most beautiful cherry blossom viewing time at Turtle Head Isle has arrived. Aren't you going to take a look? So, how do you plan the most reasonable route to enjoy the cherry blossoms at Turtle Head Isle without tiring yourself out? And how should a commando plan a one-day trip? 🌸 Must-visit places for cherry blossoms at Turtle Head Isle The most popular areas for cherry blossom viewing at Turtle Head Isle are concentrated around the Cherry Blossom Tower, Cherry Blossom Valley, and Changchun Bridge. It's best to allocate more time to these three places. The Cherry Blossom Tower has an ancient charm, allowing you to climb high and overlook the cherry blossoms; Cherry Blossom Valley is as picturesque as its name, and there's even a Cherry Blossom Post Office for a photo op. The most beautiful area of Turtle Head Isle is undoubtedly the Changchun Bridge area, which is adjacent to Taihu Lake. Not only are there flowers and the lake, but also ancient bridges, boats, and buildings. Nighttime cherry blossom viewing is mainly in the Changchun Bridge area. 👟 How to arrange a relaxed and reasonable route? For visitors entering from the Dushan Gate and Changchun Bridge, the recommended route is Changchun Bridge - (Taihu Fairy Island) - Cherry Blossom Valley - Cherry Blossom Tower - Chongshan Gate exit, which is the most relaxed. Compared to Dushan Gate, Chongshan Gate is the first choice for most visitors to Turtle Head Isle, with the most people, so it's recommended to go early. After arriving at Chongshan Gate, there are three options to choose from. Option 1⃣️ Walking Recommended route: Chongshan Gate - Flower Iris Garden - Friendship Pavilion - Cherry Blossom Tower - Cherry Blossom Valley - Changchun Bridge The one-way trip from Chongshan Gate to Changchun Bridge is about 3 kilometers, all on flat ground, passing by Cherry Blossom Tower and Cherry Blossom Valley. If you have extra time, you can take a boat to Taihu Fairy Island and then return. The ticket includes the boat fare. Option 2⃣️ Sightseeing Car Line 1 (Charged) Stops along the way: Chongshan Gate - Chongshan Hidden Beauty - Flower Iris Garden - Friendship Pavilion - Jiangnan Orchid Garden - Shan Hui Chuan Mei | Cherry Blossom Valley - Cao Wan Autumn Rain - Water Scenery Garden - Chongshan Gate The outbound trip is basically the same as the recommended walking route, but there may be queues when it's crowded, which might not save time, so choose according to your situation. Option 3⃣️ Free Park Shuttle In addition to the charged sightseeing car, Turtle Head Isle has a free shuttle bus that goes directly to the vicinity of Cherry Blossom Valley. The downside is also the queue when there are many people. The free shuttle bus starts at Chongshan Hidden Beauty, passes through Ten Mile Fragrance Path, and finally arrives near Cherry Blossom Valley. Since this is close to the cherry blossom core area of Changchun Bridge, it is recommended to go to Changchun Bridge first. The route is Changchun Bridge - (Taihu Fairy Island) - Cherry Blossom Valley - Cherry Blossom Tower - Chongshan Gate exit, the same as for visitors entering from Dushan Gate. Commando One-Day Trip, Don't Miss These Places If you are a commando, in addition to the above itinerary, there are a few more places not to miss. Luding Yinghui is the highest point in the Turtle Head Isle scenic area, where you can overlook Cherry Blossom Valley and gaze at Taihu Lake from afar. The line from the Lighthouse to Wanlang Bridge is a great place to watch the sunset. Especially for visitors waiting for the night cherry blossoms, you can go to Wanlang Bridge and Xiaqi Pavilion in the evening to wait for the sunset.

I bet you'll definitely come! During the Spring Festival period, there are just too many people. We queued for over two hours, but when we saw all the seagulls flocking in, it was truly spectacular, and all the waiting was worth it. I suggest you go in the morning when there are fewer people, and the sunrise should also be beautiful. We queued at around 1 pm and didn't get on the boat until 4 pm, but luckily we caught one of the last few ferries, just in time to cruise during the sunset. ⏰ The ferry schedule is: from Turtle Head Isle Ferry Terminal to Taihu Fairy Island Terminal, the first ferry is at 8:20; the last ferry is at 16:20. 🎫 Ticket price: The original price is 90 yuan, including the park bus and passenger ferry ticket. (During the Spring Festival period from 2.9 to 2.17, you can purchase it for half price at 45 yuan, which also includes the ferry ticket) After entering the park, you need to walk for about 20-30 minutes to reach the ferry terminal. If you're willing to walk, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. If you feel the distance is a bit far, you can also take the park bus or buy a sightseeing car ticket to go directly! 📷 The best photo spot: on the second floor at the stern of the boat. Because it's crowded, if the second floor is full, the first floor is also a good choice. There are the most red-billed gulls at the stern, and of course, there will be other seagulls around. Prepare a few slices of bread in advance, and maybe the seagulls will fly to your hand to snatch the food. ⚠️ If you're just there to see the seagulls, you don't have to disembark at Taihu Fairy Island Terminal; you can return directly. The round trip takes about 30 minutes.
