We went for the garden experience and left with memories of a day filled with fun rides as well. It's a good place to go with the kids as they're will be something for everyone. There are also good stalls to get frankfurters and other snacks, as well as toys for the kids. A good idea is to make it a two for one trip and visit the #GoldenEagle garden as well, which is about 100 meters up the hill (you'd need to go by Didi). Avg price per person - We paid 50 yuan per adult and 25 per child (the 4-year-old was free) to access the entire facility. The cost for the rides was separate at about 20 yuan per activity. Rating - exceptional as a fun park🏞️, average as a flower garden, exceptional as a nature trail. Overall effect was a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me. #nature #playground #garden #fun

This was a really great way to spend a few hours—the garden was well-maintained and manicured, and it was a pleasant walk around the park.

Finally got to eat! In order to have a satisfying roasted whole lamb, I did a lot of research and chose this place based on the recommendation of a friend! Really came to the right place! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, right on Nanshan Mountain, you can enjoy the night view of the mountains while eating roasted whole lamb. It’s so comfortable! Roasted whole lamb, choose a lamb of appropriate size, roasted until the surface is golden and the rich aroma overflows. Under the orange skin is tender lamb meat, and the crystal clear fat slowly drips down under the charcoal fire. It is so tempting! The skin is crispy, has no smell, and doesn’t taste greasy at all! After eating the roasted lamb, I had a bowl of warm lamb soup. The rich and delicious taste was very appetizing. I drank two bowls in a row. It was so delicious. The vegetables are blanched in hot water, which makes them fresh and refreshing, and the vermicelli is delicious. It’s really perfect!

After the first sentence, the cherry blossoms are short-lived and beautiful, and when the weather is good, the pictures taken are as beautiful as movie scenes. 🔺This type of cherry blossom tree is usually quite tall, and it takes some skill to capture a clean image. I've taken many pictures of cherry blossoms and here's a summary of how to photograph these taller cherry blossom trees, how to find beautiful scenes, and how to avoid people! This is another practical tip, so take note quickly~ - 📸 Shooting suggestions: 1️⃣Remember to bring a telescopic stool, which is a very important tool for avoiding people when shooting! 2️⃣In the case of taller trees, many photos need to be taken from a low angle to avoid people and the trunks below ✔️When taking a low-angle shot, the model's upper body needs to lean a bit towards the camera ✔️Try to capture a profile view, as this angle is more flattering for a side or 45-degree profile ✔️If you want to take a frontal shot, tilt the head down and extend the chin towards the camera to avoid a double chin 3️⃣If the location is on a slope, shoot from a higher position downwards, this can capture a half-body shot with the upper part of the frame filled with flowers on the tree canopy 4️⃣It's recommended to bring a straw hat, pick some petals, and then hold the hat a bit higher and pour petals over the person ✔️When using flowers as a background, a large aperture is needed to clearly see the petals against the branches ✔️If you don't have a large aperture, then find a background with a different color than the flowers - green trees - 📍Location: Nanshan Botanical Garden 🎫: 30 ⚠️Note: 1️⃣It's recommended to go early in the morning, although the garden opens at nine, there were already many people when we arrived at nine, so try to be a bit earlier 2️⃣Once there, take advantage of the few people to shoot the big scenes first, and then quickly find a lush tree to take close-ups - 🧥Outfit suggestions: Last year's light yellow dress was very refreshing, and I'm continuing with it this year, this color matches the cherry blossoms well!

Nanshan Botanical Garden Admission: 50 yuan From the end of February through the entire month of March, early cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom in succession.

You can take videos and photos of the train passing through a sea of flowers. Ta Si Ya Park Admission: 50 yuan From March to April, the park is planted with a wide variety of tulips, making it a great spot for photography. Kangzhuang Subway Station Admission: Free In March, the entire hillside is decorated with blooming plum blossoms, turning it pink and super romantic, but it's also super crowded. Yungui Mountain Admission: 30 yuan From the end of February to early March, the wild cherry blossoms on the mountain bloom one after another. The wild cherry blossoms on Yungui Mountain are scattered, but they are charming in their wildness. Most of these cherry trees are quite old and bloom freely on the mountaintop.

🌸🌸 - I didn't expect my first cherry blossom viewing this year to be such a letdown! - 📍Location: Qitang Cherry Blossoms in Bishan - ‼️Reasons I won't go again: - 1. I saw posts saying it was free, but when they saw the crowd, they started charging an entrance fee. I can understand the need to make money, but I can't understand this tactic; it feels like being tricked into going there, especially since I chose this place because I heard it was free and not crowded. - 2. There's no designated parking area, so you have to park randomly on the road. The road is already narrow, just wide enough for two small cars to pass each other, and it gets blocked if there's a large vehicle or if someone parks carelessly. - 3. It's a long distance, almost over an hour's drive. - 4. It's crowded with both people and cars, and transportation is inconvenient; you can almost only get there by driving yourself. - ‼️In summary: 1. The ticket is 20 yuan per person. If you don't want to pay for the ticket, there are a few cherry blossoms you can take pictures of right by the entrance. I just took some random shots by the roadside, or you could try to find a small path to sneak in. 2. If it's crowded with many cars and the road is narrow, be mentally prepared, especially if the weather is good and more people are likely to come. - Personal suggestion: If transportation is inconvenient, it's better to go to the Nanshan Botanical Garden, which is also closer.

✅【Bloom Period】 1⃣️Early Cherry Blossoms🌸: Mid-February, the bloom lasts about half a month, after entering the garden, the main roads on both sides ⚠️Other places have sparse cherry blossoms that are not fully open and not good for photography. ⚠️Bring stools, plastic high stools, more than 2, otherwise the photo effect will be poor, or 50 meters to the right after entering the garden there is a Hanfu stall where you can rent stools ⚠️Do not recommend going on weekends, too many people make it hard to take good photos, and there is traffic congestion when going up and down the mountain, suggest going during the week; if you only have time on weekends, go after 15:00 in the afternoon, avoid the peak times 2⃣️Late Cherry Blossoms🌸: After March 10th, the bloom lasts about 3 weeks, this year's warm winter definitely pay attention to the weather, consult at any time ⚠️Late cherry blossoms are on the hillside to the right after entering the garden, there are many 🌸 forests, the same, bring stools for better photo effects 🌟Key point, the garden's Somei Yoshino, pure white cherry blossoms, very spectacular, absolutely a treasure. This place's bloom period is less than a week, manage your time well (🥰this year I want to stay during the bloom period to take photos) ✅【Other Spots】 1⃣️Greenhouse: Now busy taking photos of 🌸, the vegetation inside the greenhouse is relatively short, not good for portraits. It's okay to take photos of the vegetation alone, there is a natural well inside that looks good in photos - limited to scenery, not good for portraits 2⃣️Bonsai Garden: There are many other flower gardens inside the park, personally, the park is still that big, find the key points to focus on what to photograph.
