Hotels near the scenic spot: Such as Wuxi Taihu Huayi Hotel, Wuxi Nianhuawan Juntel Promito Hotel, etc. Staying nearby can save time traveling to and from the scenic spot, and you can enjoy the beautiful natural environment around you. However, prices may increase during the cherry blossom season, so book in advance. 2. Hotels in the city center: If you want to experience the prosperity of Wuxi city center, you can choose to stay near Zhongshan Road and Nanchang Street. The transportation is convenient and there is a lot of food, but you need to reserve enough commuting time to the scenic spot. 8. Precautions 1. There are many tourists in the scenic spot during the cherry blossom season, so be sure to take care of your personal belongings and take care of the elderly and children traveling with you. 2. Smoking is prohibited in the scenic area. Please abide by the scenic area regulations, protect the environment, and do not pick cherry blossoms at will. 3.

Yuantouzhu at 5am: The blue-toned night cherry blossoms are next level. This spring, you must visit Yuantouzhu, one of the world's three major cherry blossom viewing spots. You won't know how beautiful spring is here until you do! Here, you will see the embodiment of "life is ten thousand springs coming into bloom"! Based on past experience, here is a practical guide to cherry blossom viewing in Yuantouzhu. Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Period Early cherry blossoms: Mid-to-late March (Somei Yoshino in full bloom) Night cherry blossoms: March 20–April 5 (light show from 18:00–21:00) (flower news will be updated in the comments section later~) Efficient Cherry Blossom Viewing Route: Dushan Gate → Changchun Bridge → Cherry Blossom Valley (depart as soon as it opens in the morning) → Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower → Jiangnan Orchid Garden → Changchun Bridge Night Cherry Blossoms Location: Yuantouzhu, Wuxi Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Wuxi Station and take Leyou Line 1 directly to Yuantouzhu. There are also buses, but the road will be congested. Bicycles and electric vehicles are the most convenient. Peak Season: Late March to early April Parking: Private cars are CNY 15/day Time: 8:00–16:00 Check-in Guide: Enter through the Dushan Gate entrance. The park opens at 6:30am. It is recommended to arrive early and purchase an e-ticket one day in advance to enter the park directly by scanning your ID card. To enjoy the night cherry blossoms, the Cherry Blossom Valley Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower will be cleared at 6pm. Be sure to stand below the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower before 6pm. Take advantage of the 2-minute clearing + blue tone time to take photos of the empty Cherry Blossom Valley. This is more convenient than queuing for an hour and waiting for someone to edit the photos. If you think this is still inconvenient, it is best to stay in Yuantouzhu. Cherry Blossom Villa and Taigong Sanatorium are both inside the park, and you can also take night scenes at night. · Shooting time: March 27, 2024 · Shooting location: Yuantouzhu · Note: The lights will be turned off at night. I brought my own light to illuminate the building.

Five social insurances and one housing fund cannot restrain a free heart So, I decided to use the time I had saved for a long time. Take a leave to go to Wuxi to enjoy cherry blossoms from Wuhan After coming here, I really understood what Guo Moruo said "The most beautiful place in Taihu Lake is Yuantou after all" The Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms on a cloudy day after the rain are really crazy I thought Wuhan East Lake Cherry Garden was beautiful enough Until I came to Yuantouzhu in Wuxi, Jiangsu Enjoy the beautiful scenery only available during the cherry blossom season - 🗺Yuantouzhu 1-day tour guide Dushan Gate→Changchun Bridge→Jiangxue Pavilion→Sakura Valley→Sakura Viewing Tower→Yixiu Bridge→Chongshan Hidden Beauty→Chongshan Gate · ✅Changchun Bridge If you want to enter the park on a sunny day, you can go here first. I have personally experienced that it is a wrong choice to come here first on a cloudy day. You can also come here at sunset to take photos of golden light shining through the hole. · ✅Jiangxuexuan You can see this place after crossing Changchun Bridge. The cherry trees at the entrance and the Jiangxuexuan complement each other well, and it really has the flavor of Chinese architecture. · ✅Sakura Valley This is the place with the most Somei Yoshino cherry trees. I heard that there are more than 30,000 cherry trees and over a hundred varieties. After arriving here, I found that it really lives up to its name, it is simply a sea of ​​​​cherry blossoms. If you have a drone, you should be able to take pictures of the cherry blossom trees all over the mountains. Check-in spots such as Wuxie and Qiyun Pavilion are also here. · ✅Cherry Blossom Viewing Building This is the place with the most people, and there are Chinese performances regularly at the entrance of the Cherry Blossom Viewing Building. The cherry blossom viewing tower is beautiful whether photographed from a distance or close up, and is great for taking photos during the peak flowering period. - 🌸Sakura viewing speed pass guide (no one gold 1h) Want to take pictures of Yuantouzhu without people You must seize the golden hour after the park opens The most beautiful cherry blossoms in the entire park are Changchun Bridge, Cherry Blossom Valley, Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower So the Dushan Gate is the nearest entrance point · 1⃣ Choose the Dushan Gate for quick access and take a taxi directly to the end point without traffic control. You can enter the park at around 6:30, and if you don’t have breakfast, you can order takeout here; 2⃣On sunny days, I will go to Changchun Bridge first, and on cloudy days, I will go to Sakura Valley first. I believe I will not regret it; 3⃣ There are more people around 8 o'clock. Traffic control starts at 7 o'clock, so the traffic jam starts at this point. It is better to get in early and avoid the peak travel; 4⃣When leaving, go through Chongshan Gate and choose the mode of transportation: bus > online car-hailing > taxi. - ⚠Tips for cherry blossom season ✔There are really many people during the cherry blossom season, so it will be a little stronger if you come early on weekdays; ✔If you want to drive, choose Chongshan Gate. If you want to go out, choose Dushan Gate. During the red-billed gull season, you can choose Changchun Bridge Wharf by water; ✔You can also go there on windy days to take pictures of cherry blossom rain; ✔The daytime ticket is 90r, and you can see the night cherry blossoms without going out. If you want to go to a garden like Jichang Garden, it is more cost-effective to enter the garden directly with a card. - 📍Wuxi · Taihu Yuantouzhu 🚗Bus No. 1 or Leyou Line 1 - Wuhan and global travel guides will continue to be updated later If you love traveling like me I hope to take pictures of the beautiful scenery during the trip.

Wuxi has recently become very popular thanks to CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. The cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu have always been quite famous. As someone from a neighboring city, I go to see the cherry blossoms every few years. In previous years, I would drive there, arriving early in the morning, but private cars had to be parked far away, and only buses could drive to the area closest to the entrance. This year, I chose to travel by high-speed rail. At Wuxi Station, I took the Leyou Line 1 directly to Yuantouzhu. It only stopped at four stations along the way (Liyuan Garden, the stop before the Yuantouzhu terminal, is also in full bloom). The whole journey took about an hour. I recommend boarding from the terminal station so you can get a seat. Standing for an hour can be quite tiring, especially since the scenic area is very large. I feel that Wuxi's tourism management is quite good this year. The staff gave orderly directions, and we queued up to pay first (5 yuan/person) before boarding the bus in an orderly manner. If you don't have a seat and don't want to stand, you can wait for the next bus. During peak season, there's a bus every 5 mins. When we arrived before 9am, it was already crowded, even though it was a working day. After entering the scenic area, we bought round-trip sightseeing bus tickets. The one-way trip is 2.8 km, and it would definitely be too far for the elderly people in our group to walk. Those who don't take the sightseeing bus can take photos along the way. The roadside is full of cherry blossoms and crabapple blossoms. We went directly to the famous Changchun Bridge, an ancient bridge that has borne the weight of countless enthusiastic tourists. It was very hot today, and there were so many people. To be honest, it was quite noisy and tiring. We took some photos and then returned. The last photo is of Changchun Bridge at 9am.

March 25, 2025, is the perfect time to admire the cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu, Wuxi. The early cherry blossoms are beginning to wither, the mid-season cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the late cherry blossoms are budding. There are three entrances to Yuantouzhu: Chongshan Gate, Dushan Gate, and Guanshe Villa Pier (Guanshe Villa Pier No. 3, also known as Fisherman's Wharf, offers parking; if it's full, you can park in the opposite residential area). The first two gates are usually crowded, especially Chongshan Gate, which is far from Yuantouzhu. Although there are sightseeing trams, they are not recommended due to the long queues. For a time-saving experience, enter through Guanshe Villa Pier. You can purchase both Yuantouzhu entrance tickets (90 yuan/person) and speedboat tickets (45 yuan/person, one-way; return tickets must be purchased again at Changchun Bridge). A ten-minute speedboat ride takes you directly to Changchun Bridge (inside the Yuantouzhu scenic area). The cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu are mainly concentrated around Changchun Bridge and Cherry Blossom Valley (including the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower). No need for flowery words—the photos speak for themselves. After seeing these two spots, the cherry blossoms elsewhere might not seem as impressive. After disembarking at Changchun Bridge, go left to Cherry Blossom Valley, or right along the lake to Guangfu Temple, where you can enjoy a bowl of vegetarian noodles for 20 yuan (quite tasty). From Guangfu Temple, head east and pass through a bamboo forest to reach Cherry Blossom Valley. We parked at the residential area opposite Guanshe Villa Pier at 10:00 am and returned to our car at 1:30 pm after enjoying the cherry blossoms. The entire trip was leisurely, including a coffee break and a bowl of noodles, taking a total of 3.5 hours and costing 180 yuan/person (90 yuan for the entrance ticket + 90 yuan for the round-trip speedboat). We felt it was well worth it to admire the cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu, Wuxi, one of the three major international cherry blossom festivals.

Yuantouzhu is Wuxi’s super business card! When it comes to cherry blossom viewing, this is the first place that comes to mind. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so beautiful 🌸! Recommended attractions: 1. Changchun Bridge: Walking on the bridge, there are cherry blossoms on both sides, and it feels like walking into a cherry blossom tunnel. 2. Cherry Blossom Valley: The place where cherry blossoms are most densely populated. Looking up, you will see a sea of ​​pink and white, which is super romantic. 3. Yuantou: It is the iconic attraction of Yuantouzhu. Standing there, you can overlook Taihu Lake and the scenery is amazing. 4. Taihu Fairy Island: You need to take a boat to get there. There are many ancient buildings on the island, including the Yue Lao Temple! 5. Luding Yinghui: Climbing up, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire Yuantouzhu, with a very broad view. 6. Guangfu Temple: Those who like quietness can walk around the temple and listen to the bells, which will calm their hearts. 7. Jiangnan Orchid Garden: A must-see for orchid lovers, as there are countless varieties of orchids. 8. Chongshan Yinxiu: It is a valley scenic spot with green trees and shades. It is very comfortable to walk around and stop at any time. Food recommendations: Taihu white shrimp and fried whitebait with eggs, these are Wuxi’s specialties and are extremely delicious! Transportation: There are direct buses from Wuxi Railway Station, or you can take a taxi, which is quite convenient. Accommodation: There are many hotels and B&Bs nearby, and the prices are reasonable. You can just book them in advance. Warm reminder: There are a lot of people during the cherry blossom season, so you have to go early to take beautiful photos! Also, for the boat ticket to Taihu Fairy Island, you must pay attention to the time and don’t miss the last boat🚢.

It's cherry blossom season again in March. This spring has been colder than usual, so the cherry blossom season has been delayed by about ten days. Taking advantage of a beautiful, sunny weekend, our family went to Yuantouzhu to see the first cherry blossoms in bloom. Under the warm spring sun, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Although only the early-blooming cherry blossoms are currently showing their fragrance on the branches, there is still the beauty of falling petals. However, Yuantouzhu was extremely crowded on the weekend, with visitors packed shoulder to shoulder, and long queues everywhere. Whether entering the park, taking a boat trip, or even taking pictures by the lake, it took a long time to queue. This level of crowding significantly diminished the experience, and our original plan to savor the beauty of the cherry blossoms had to be changed to a rushed tour. Despite this, it was still worthwhile to see the delicate beauty of the cherry blossoms in person. I just hope that next time we come, we can avoid the peak crowds and enjoy the stunning beauty of the Yuantouzhu cherry blossoms more fully. 🌈Highlights: Cherry blossom viewing in spring, boat trips on Taihu Lake, and exploring Taihu Lake Fairy Island. 🚗Address & Transportation: Cherry blossom season is from March to April, and traffic control is in place every weekend. Whether driving or using other means of transport, it is recommended to transfer to the special cherry blossom shuttle bus at the Mei Garden bus stop. The journey takes 10 minutes and costs 5 yuan per person. 🎫Tickets: 90 yuan (including a boat trip to Taihu Lake Fairy Island) ✨Tips: 1. Avoid crowds: Visit on a working day to avoid weekends and holidays. Enter the park when it opens in the morning, as there are fewer visitors at this time, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful cherry blossom viewing experience and possibly encounter early birds and dew-kissed cherry blossoms. 2. Transportation tips: Choose public transport, as driving is prone to traffic jams and parking is difficult. Check the subway and bus schedules in advance to avoid difficulties returning after your visit. 3. Recommended cherry blossom viewing spots: Within the Yuantouzhu scenic area, the cherry blossoms by Changchun Bridge are like snow, the Changguangxi Wetland offers distant views of Taihu Lake dotted with cherry blossoms, and the Cherry Blossom Valley is an excellent spot for cherry blossom viewing. These less-crowded locations can help you avoid the crowds. 4. Photography tips: Use your phone's portrait mode or a camera with a large aperture to highlight the cherry blossoms and blur the background. Use natural light, side lighting, or backlighting. Use a reflector or white paper to reflect light and make the cherry blossoms appear brighter and more vibrant. 5. Sun and wind protection: There is often a breeze during cherry blossom season, so bring a light jacket and sunscreen to prevent colds and sunburn. Bring a small umbrella for sun protection and to add a romantic touch in the cherry blossom rain.

Hey guys, my wish to photograph seagulls at Yuantouzhu has finally come true! The scenery is so breathtaking that I'm at a loss for words. I can't wait to share this guide with you all. 📝 🎈Preparation Time: The best time to watch and photograph seagulls is from November to March. It's recommended to visit in the morning when the lighting is good and the seagulls are more active. Tickets: You can purchase tickets in advance on major travel apps to save some money. 💰 Items: Camera (a telephoto lens is a must for close-up shots of seagulls), power bank (taking photos drains the battery quickly), and bread (to attract seagulls and enhance your photos). 📸Photography Tips Composition: Use the lake and distant mountains as the background, and place the seagulls at the golden ratio point in the frame for a layered effect. Candid Shots: Seagulls fly fast, so set your camera to high-speed continuous shooting in advance to capture their wings spread and feeding moments. Angle: Shoot from a low angle to seamlessly blend the seagulls with the sky, creating a cinematic effect. 🎯Tour Route Chongshan Gate: After entering the scenic area, walk along the lakeside path to see flocks of seagulls. Changchun Bridge: This is a classic photo spot where you can capture seagulls flying through the bridge arches. Boat Dock: Take a boat ride for a close encounter with seagulls and experience the joy of being surrounded by them. 💡Tips Be cautious when feeding seagulls to avoid being pecked. Be polite and avoid competing for photo spots when there are many people. Grab your camera and head to Yuantouzhu for a romantic date with the seagulls! Don't forget to like and save this post. 💕

Sakura season is here again! Although the flowers of Somei Yoshino are still shyly hidden, the early cherry blossoms have quietly bloomed, and the beauty is amazing 🌸✨. If you are also a loyal fan of cherry blossoms, now is the best time to appreciate the early cherry blossoms, don’t miss it! Here are some tips to help you play easily: 🍃 Tips for cherry blossom viewing on non-weekends: 1. In the morning, you can choose to enter from Chongshan Gate and take the park bus directly to Sakura Valley, which is convenient and fast. 2. Another option is to take the subway to Meiyuan Station, then ride a shared bicycle to Dushanmen (about 20 minutes), and walk to Sakura Valley in 5 minutes. The scenery along the way is also beautiful. 🌼 Weekend travel suggestions: 3. You can take the Xiangxue Road shuttle bus (5 yuan) at Meiyuan Station and go directly to Dushan Gate. 4. Alternatively, you can walk from Meiyuan subway station to Guanshe Villa and take a 3-minute yacht ride (45 yuan) to Changchun Bridge to experience a different travel experience. 💡 Tips: 5. It is not advisable to drive near Dushan Gate as the road has been closed. Although you could drive in during the cherry blossom season in previous years, we still need to wait for official notification for the specific situation this year. 6. Although most of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms are still buds, a few have already bloomed (see Figure 16 for details). It is expected that it will take about another week for the full flowering period. 7. Remember to get up early! If you go there at noon or in the afternoon, the crowds will not only affect your viewing experience, but you may also have to wait in long lines. Especially on weekends, be the first to grab a good spot! I will share more experiences with you later~🚴‍♂🌈
