[2025 Wuhan Attraction] Travel Guide for Wuhan University - Cherry Blossom Castle (Updated May)

#WuhanCherryBlossom Finally took a picture of Wuhan University’s famous cherry blossoms! Hurry up and share this pure cherry blossom 🌸🌸🌸 scenic camera guide with everyone🧐🧐🧐 📍It is difficult to shoot along Renwen Road. It is recommended to stand at the entrance of the School of Marxism and take pictures from the side of the administrative building. But please pay special attention, non-Marxism students are not allowed to enter the campus without permission to avoid disrupting the normal teaching order‼ ️ 📍Sakura Peak is definitely worth climbing! Taken from a high vantage point, the pink and white cherry blossoms and the quaint green-tiled old library complement each other beautifully, creating a strong retro atmosphere. 📍Kunpeng Square is also a holy place for filming. With white buildings as the background, try to find a high place to compose the picture, and the picture will be clean and grand. 📍Walking down the path next to the Administrative Office, you can capture close-up shots of the cherry blossoms and take in all the details of the petals. 📍When I took the photo of the Wanlin Museum logo and the cherry blossoms, I stopped the car briefly to take the snapshot. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens, the effect will be better. My focal length is insufficient this time, and the composition is a bit messy, which is a pity😿 📍Walk along the cherry blossom avenue, go up a few steps and take photos of the old dormitory from above, and you will instantly get a blockbuster look! All photos were taken with Fuji XT50, automatic mode with NC filter. With a little adjustment in the later stage, the colors will be more vivid and attractive. Take this guide and go to Wuhan University to check out the cherry blossoms! #FujiDirectOut #FilmSimulation #MyPhotographyDiary #FujiSakura #WudaSakura #whu #SakuraPhotography

Wuhan University is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Wuhan. Admission is free, but you need to register quickly. After several attempts, I finally succeeded. After passing through two checkpoints, I finally reached Cherry Blossom Avenue, and it was all worth it. The Somei Yoshino cherry trees along Cherry Blossom Avenue were in full bloom, with white petals overhead. Despite the crowds, the upward shots were still great. Transportation: Walk 15 minutes from Wuhan Metro Jiedaokou Station or Xiaohongshan Station to Luojia Gate, then walk another 20 minutes. Photo date: 2025/3/23.

Ascend the Old Dormitory and look down to see a stunning spring scene of green glazed tiles and pink and white petals. Along Cherry Blossom Avenue, the roadside cherry blossoms resemble clouds and mist. Cherry Blossom Varieties: Approximately 1,000 trees. Primarily Japanese cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino), complemented by early-blooming, late-blooming, and mountain cherry blossoms, resulting in staggered blooming periods (from early March to early April). Core Cherry Blossom Viewing Areas: Cherry Blossom Avenue (in front of the Old Dormitory), Kunpeng Square, around the Administration Building, the Science Building, and the slope of the Wanlin Art Museum. Best Visiting Routes: Classic Route (approx. 2 hours): School Gate Archway → Kunpeng Square (concentration of early-blooming cherry blossoms) → Cherry Blossom Avenue (Old Dormitory + panoramic cherry blossom view) → Old Library (overlooking cherry blossoms) → Wanlin Art Museum (slope cherry blossoms + modern art exhibition).

Wuhan University's official WeChat public account/website is expected to open reservations 3 days in advance (e.g., March 12–30, 2024, with a daily limit of 15,000 people). There are currently two places on campus where cherry blossoms are blooming: ① The lawn in front of the Fifth Teaching Building (p13-14 every tree is crowded with people; if you arrive in the afternoon, it's not recommended to go here, as there are only three or four trees). ② The blossoms at Luojia Mountain Villa are much more abundant, with more and taller trees than at the Fifth Teaching Building, offering more photo opportunities. Because it takes nearly 20 minutes to walk there, there are fewer people. You don't need to bring a stool, as the area is on a slope and relatively low. ps: The entrance to Luojia Mountain Villa is blocked for construction, so you need to go around from the slope.
