Gao Dong Cherry Blossom Garden: The longest riverside cherry blossom promenade in Shanghai

Gao Dong Cherry Blossom Garden is located at No. 300 Guangyao Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai, situated to the east of Gaoqiao Port, starting from the green belt of Hangjin Road to the north, extending to Guangyao Road to the east, and connecting with Zhouhai Road to the south. It boasts the longest riverside cherry blossom promenade in Shanghai, with a total length of about three kilometers. The southern section is planted with early-blooming cherry trees, while the northern section features late-blooming varieties. The cherry blossom garden is centered around a main Cherry Blossom Avenue, with three leisure squares—Gao Dong Xin Road Square, Guangcan Road Square, and Gao Dong Er Road Square—interspersed from north to south. In spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, this place is undoubtedly an excellent spot for flower viewing: with cherry trees forming a shaded forest, strolling among them, occasionally showered by cherry blossom petals, it feels like a fairyland, overwhelmingly beautiful. Every year during the cherry blossom season, Gao Dong town holds a Cherry Blossom Festival, organizing various cultural activities related to cherry blossoms. Not only is entry to the cherry blossom garden free, but the surrounding roads also offer free parking, attracting many citizens to come and enjoy the spring and admire the flowers.
