I've returned from my first cherry blossom viewing trip to Yuantouzhu, and I plan to go back.

From late March to early April, Yuantouzhu's cherry blossoms should be in full bloom, offering unique beauty both day and night. Parking is always a challenge. This year, there are more shuttle buses, which is great for those driving. Here's a friendly tip: you can park at any of the parking lots along Shanshui East Road for just CNY 5, though it means a bit more walking. The above photos were taken on March 23, 2025, the day I visited the park after the Xiamen Marathon.
