Cherry blossoms
樱花
From the end of March, cherry trees begin to blossom and their florescence usually lasts for two weeks. With a little breeze, the cherry blossoms fall on the ground and create an amazing “cherry blossom rain”, which offers a romantic background for your photos. It’s a good choice to gather under flowering trees to enjoy picnics and barbeques, or just watch blossoms quietly falling in the wind.
三月底,樱花开始绽放,花期通常会持续两周。微风徐来,樱花随风飘落,形成令人惊艳的“樱花雨”,成为可供拍照的浪漫景观。你可以在樱花树下野餐、烧烤,或者只是欣赏静静随风飘落的花瓣。
Where to go: In Shanghai’s Gucun Park the cherry blossom festival began on March 20. Except for traditional flower appreciation, a series of activities are held, such as a photography competition, blind dates, and culture exhibitions.
