📍Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden (There are opening and closing times and tickets~) The weather is perfect for a stroll through the botanical garden. This botanical garden is super beautiful, but it's a bit big, which is a bit tiring for someone like me who has no stamina. But there are so many scenic spots that I can't stop taking photos!! And they all have a great atmosphere! I've always wanted to go to Xinjiang to take photos of this haystack, but I never had the chance to go, and I didn't expect to find it here! What a surprise!

Stepping into Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden feels like entering a fairyland adorned with blooming flowers. The warm and gentle spring sunlight reflects off the colorful sea of flowers, making each bloom appear exceptionally vibrant. Various flowers bloom in succession, from delicate cherry blossoms to elegant tulips, swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a subtle fragrance that is intoxicating. I wandered leisurely along the flower-lined paths, bending down to closely observe the posture of each flower, marveling at their beauty and vitality. In the distance, the lake and mountain scenery complement each other, adding a layer of tranquility to the sea of flowers. Visitors, in small groups, either take photos in front of the flowers or rest on the grass, with laughter and floral scents intertwining, filling the entire garden with vitality. Every step here is full of surprises, making it hard to leave. The sea of flowers in Chenshan Botanical Garden is not only a gift from nature but also a dream meticulously woven by spring for people.

I visited Shanghai's Chenshan Botanical Garden in March, where a row of magnolia trees was planted right at the entrance. It was the blooming season, and the flowers complemented the river's bay scenery beautifully! The first thing I saw upon entering the garden was a relatively short cherry blossom tree, which allowed for close-up photos with the cherry blossoms without the need for a ladder📷. We could spend nearly an hour admiring just one cherry blossom tree, and it was hard to leave! Garden Transportation: There are golf carts available in the park for only 5 yuan per person Passengers must get off at the terminal stations (A, B). The route arrangements are as follows: A line: Starting from Gate 1 Comprehensive Building — Children's Botanical Garden Station — Quarry Garden Station — Rock Garden Station — Exhibition Greenhouse Terminal Station B line: Exhibition Greenhouse Station — East China Area Garden Station — Aquatic Plant Garden Station — Gate 1 Comprehensive Building Terminal Station.

🌈The most important thing in spring is, of course, cherry blossom viewing🌈 📍It's undeniable that at the end of March, the Chenshan Botanical Garden is the ultimate cherry blossom viewing spot in the magic city! 🔸In the morning, there are few people in the vast cherry blossom forest, and the blooming cherry blossoms are like pink clouds, filling the entire sky, a sight too beautiful for words😍. 🔸From mid to early March, different varieties of cherry blossoms begin to bloom one after another, with the most beautiful being the Yoshino cherry blossoms of Nakazakura. The cherry blossom season in the park lasts a long time, and by early April, you can generally see cherry blossoms at different stages of their bloom. 📸Photo tips: 👗Outfit: Light-colored clothes will make your photos stand out! Props: Avoid having empty hands, only doing the ✌️ sign? Remember to bring some photography props, such as balloons, cameras, books, straw bags, etc. 🤳Photo angles: You can take close-up shots when there are fewer people, and also capture large scenes. 🏷Note: 👉To avoid the peak of the crowds, it is recommended to enter the garden between 8 am and 9:30 am. During this time, there are fewer people, and you can capture the feeling of having the cherry blossom avenue all to yourself.

Although there are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Shanghai, the cherry blossom forest in Chenshan Botanical Garden will definitely amaze you. The sloping lawn with the color-healing white cherry blossoms is full of the gentleness of spring, and such a movie-like scene is unique in Shanghai. Shooting location: Right side of Gate No.1 On the right hand side is the Cherry Blossom Avenue, which are all slopes with a certain degree of inclination, very 'Chenshan', and it is still a tool to avoid people when there are many people. Going inside, there is a cherry blossom station near the aquatic plant garden. There is also a small cherry blossom forest near the station, next to the park wall on the side of Chenhua Road. There are fewer people here, but the ground is relatively flat. Near Gate No.1, there is also a cement white wall where you can sit on it, and you are surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Flower Season: Early Cherry Blossoms in Bloom at Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden (Photo Guide) Location: Chenshan Botanical Garden The cherry blossoms seem to have bloomed really early this year and are expected to be in full bloom by the weekend. Photography tips: Go through Gate No. 1 and Sakura Avenue is on the right. Try to go early when there are fewer people! Take a panoramic photo when there are fewer people. Don’t stop at the entrance because the cherry blossoms are so beautiful. Walk inside quickly because there are fewer people as you go deeper. When I walked near the bathroom, I saw a few trees with very low branches, so I could easily take photos that looked like I was among flowers. Ladies who need to change clothes can do so in the bathroom here. This place is close to the lake, and there is a black swan that comes ashore to eat grass. It is not afraid of people and you can take photos with it. Standing on a slope and shooting downwards, with the cherry blossom trees as the background, it is easier to capture the effect of clusters of flowers. If possible, it is recommended to bring props such as ladders, transparent umbrellas, reflectors, etc. Many people bring them, so don't be embarrassed. Tips for playing: Tickets: Adults 60, children under 1.3m or 6 years old free FREI time: 8:00-17:00 |Parking: 5 yuan/hour, capped at 20 yuan In addition to cherry blossoms, other places in the botanical garden are also beautiful If you like the scenery, you can walk along the Cherry Blossom Avenue. If you have children, you can walk in the opposite direction to the left of the entrance to the park, where there is a children's playground.

Time: close at five It's a bit unfinished for one time, the park is very big!

#wecreate Chenshan Botanical Gardens is a little further out of Shanghai’s main city centre but worth a trip to see it. Tickets cost 60RMB for a whole day entry and the area is huge. Picnic set up is recommended in this area as it’s calm and quiet with some locals flocking to pitch tents in the summer heat. Visit each flower area and finish off with a trip through the enclosed ‘tropical’ forest. #urbanexplorer #shanghai #summervacation #gardens

📍At Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, elegant tulips of various colors are in full bloom, making a dramatic impression. 🌷In the garden, many types of spring flowers compete for beauty and attraction, but tulips stand out for the ocean of color they create and the way they are planted. 🖼️This year, 48 tulip varieties are on display, an increase of seven varieties compared with that in 2021. Mixed-color planting and interplanting methods were utilized in addition to standard single-color planting methods to produce a colorful and multi-layer landscape. Tulips can be seen in the garden's flower borders and the Chenshan Impression Flower Bed. 💐The layout of tulips at the Chenshan Impression Flower Bed, which is located near the Green Theater at Gate II, is based on a giant leaf figure and coupled with the undulating terrain. Beautiful and colorful patterns were created in the garden with eight varieties of tulips in red, pink, yellow, orange and other colors. The area was once a popular place for tourists to take pictures. 📍Tulips can also be found in the square outside Gate I, along the line from Gate I's battery station to the Children's Garden Station, along the main tour line's flower borders, and near the Bamboo Garden's flower border. #flowerlover #themepark

The "Sillow Water Lily World" Goddess 2019 Water Lily Exhibition is being held at the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. This year's Water Lily Exhibition has seven exhibition areas, and more than 300 varieties are on display, which is very worth seeing! In particular, this year's special feature is that the Botanical Garden's own innovative "Lyqin" purple water lily variety is very amazing. The yellow scattering flower buds and the thick flower stalks combine the charm of "Goddess" and "female man", which is one of the best. If you like Monet's water lily series, you can feel a high degree of reduction here, and a quiet world of water lily is enough to make people think. There are also many beautiful black swan in the lake, which brings a lot of vitality to the world of water lily. I suggest you not to watch the water lily too early or too late, because the opening of the water lily is more willful, too early and too late to appreciate its fully open state, it must be just right! If you missed this year's water lily exhibition, it doesn't matter. There are many other beautiful plants in the botanical garden for viewing. For example, the net red powder will soon mature, and the National Day can be considered to play in the botanical garden.

It’s located a bit outside the city center, but the views and peaceful atmosphere are totally worth it. The cherry blossom zones here are extensive, with trees lined along rolling hills and small lakes.

I climbed the garden’s small observatory hill and got a stunning panoramic view of the pink and green landscape. Fewer crowds, more serenity.

#cherryblossom25 I visited Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden last weekend and was amazed by the early cherry blossoms!
