Climb the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower, and you can see 30,000 cherry blossom trees in Yuantouzhu. In the distance, the Taihu Lake is vast, with sails dotted on the lake. The mountains, rivers and cherry blossoms complement each other, as beautiful as a picture scroll. When the breeze blows, pink petals fall like snow, filling the atmosphere. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 1. Bus: Take Bus No. 1 or Leyou No. 1 to reach the scenic spot directly, but there are many people and it is crowded during the cherry blossom season. It is recommended to check the bus schedule in advance. 2. Subway: Take Line 4 to Xiajiabian Station Exit 4, and there is a shuttle bus directly to Chongshan Gate; you can also ride a shared bicycle, about 5 km, and pay attention to traffic rules. 3.

Before 8:00, you can park in Chongshan parking lot/Fisherman's Wharf parking lot; after 9:00, you can choose Changqiao parking lot (2,400 parking spaces) or Shanmenkou parking lot (500 parking spaces). After parking, there is a bus at the entrance to take you to the scenic area. 4.

Main building of the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower: Stand on the platform in front of the building, with the ancient building as the foreground and the cherry blossoms all over the mountains as the background, taking portraits is super artistic; climb to the top of the building, overlook the entire Cherry Blossom Valley, and taking large scenes is super shocking. 2. Cherry blossom tree in front of the building: Shoot upwards from a low angle, with the sky as the background, to capture the beauty of the flowers; or interact with the falling petals to capture dynamic moments. 3.
