Nanjing | Cherry Blossom Viewing at Zhongshan Botanical Garden, So Beautiful～

Spring is, of course, the time to come to the botanical garden to admire the flowers! The cherry blossoms are at their most beautiful this season. Opening hours: North Garden 8:00–17:30 (closed on Mondays); South Garden 8:30–17:00 (open on Mondays). Best flowering periods: Early cherry blossoms: mid-to-late March (Somei Yoshino cherry, Kawazu cherry). Late cherry blossoms: early-to-mid-April (Kanzan cherry, Fugenzo cherry). The main cherry blossom viewing areas are the North Garden and the South Garden. The Rose Garden in the North Garden is a concentrated area of early cherry blossoms, and the pink sea of flowers is super photogenic～ The area near Bridge World is also a good choice, with the reflection of cherry blossoms in the water, creating a beautiful artistic conception. Transportation guide: Take bus No. 20 or No. 315 to "Zhongshan Botanical Garden" station, which directly leads to the North Garden. Travel tips: Travel off-peak: Fewer people on working days or from 8:00–10:00 in the morning, making it easier to take good photos. Essential items: sunscreen, drinking water, light snacks (limited dining options in the garden).
