The Hangzhou Cherry Blossom Ocean is in full bloom in 2025. Come and check in!

With the rising temperatures, Hangzhou's "Cherry Blossom Ocean" is finally in bloom. Across eight hills, nearly 1,000 mu are covered with over 60,000 cherry blossom trees, making it the largest single area of cherry blossoms in Hangzhou! From the early-blooming Hangzhou Early Cherry, White Prince, and Perfume Cherry Blossoms in March to the Sunshine Cherry Blossoms in mid-to-late March, there are a total of 41 varieties. The viewing period lasts until April, making it a favorite spot for taking photos. Many may have guessed that we're talking about the Hangzhou Cherry Blossom Garden, which covers an area of 600 mu and features a 10-kilometer-long cherry blossom avenue! Now in mid-to-late March, as you enter the park, you'll be greeted by the intoxicating fragrance of cherry blossoms in full bloom. The blossoms are dense and come in shades of white, pink, rose pink, and rose red. The gentle breeze carries falling petals, creating a romantic atmosphere. The beautiful weather allows the sunlight to filter through the blossoms, creating a dreamy scene. It's as if the pink sea of flowers is gilded with a layer of golden light, a scene almost too beautiful to be true. Here are five must-see spots: 1. Cherry Blossom Avenue: This path is surrounded by cherry blossom trees. Strolling along it feels like being immersed in a pink ocean. The cherry blossom petals falling with the wind create an incredibly romantic scene. 2. Cherry Blossom Steps: As you ascend the steps surrounded by cherry blossom trees, each step is filled with delightful surprises. It's a perfect spot for taking photos. 3. Cherry Blossom Hillside: The cherry blossom trees are scattered across the hills of the garden. Find a hillside to overlook the entire garden for a breathtaking view. 4. Cherry Blossom Pavilion: This small pavilion surrounded by cherry blossom trees is a great place to rest and enjoy the blossoms. Here, you can quietly appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms. 5. Cherry Blossom Railway: A railway runs through the cherry blossom garden, and the cherry blossom trees on both sides create a beautiful scenic route. The combination of the railway and cherry blossoms offers a unique charm. After exploring the garden, you'll discover three highlights: First, internet celebrities: The abundance of cherry blossoms attracts various internet celebrities to take photos and videos. It's like "a cherry blossom with every step" and "an internet celebrity every three steps." They come dressed in *hanfu*, sailor uniforms, Lolita fashion, cosplay, and more. There are also travel bloggers and photographers with lighting boards, tripods, and SLR cameras, adjusting their angles to capture the perfect shot. It's a sight to behold! Second, services: In addition to cherry blossoms, the Hangzhou Cherry Blossom Garden also has stalls selling grilled sausages, *oden*, cotton candy, and offering activities like horseback riding, rocking cars, and ring toss. There are also various photo spots. With food, drinks, and entertainment, there's something for everyone! Third, night cherry blossoms: Unlike other cherry blossom gardens, the Hangzhou Cherry Blossom Garden now offers extended "services." Many internet celebrities like to wait until dark to capture the night cherry blossoms, often staying until midnight or even later. The latest closing time was past 3 a.m., which is quite impressive. Of course, staying too late is not recommended due to transportation issues. In addition, you might also encounter fields of rapeseed flowers in the Hangzhou Cherry Blossom Garden, adding a touch of golden yellow to your photos.
