No need to look around! Shanghai's spring flower sea is right here

If you want to see a sea of flowers in Shanghai, no need to go far—Jinshan's "Flowers Blooming on the Sea" can satisfy you. This is definitely the top spring attraction in the Magic City, with vast flower seas that captivate us. The springtime Flowers Blooming on the Sea Ecological Park is so beautiful you won’t want to blink! Over 30,000 tulips bloom freely, each one vibrant and dewy.
