The world's three major cherry blossom holy places, especially the night cherry is very special. This year, the second ticket inspection of the night cherry was cancelled. It was very user-friendly. During the day, the ticket was checked into the park. At night, you can enjoy the night cherry without obstacles. At night, there are buses at the two gates to return to the city. The gate of Chongshan is 21:30 at the latest!
Embracing spring, the flowers are fragrant and the breeze is blowing. The full dyeing well Yoshino 🌸 is so beautiful ~ I came here a long time ago but it was late, and the cherry blossoms all withered. It has been a pity, this year is making up.
When we went, the early cherry blossoms of steamed buns were already in full bloom. There were cherry blossoms all the way in, and the feeling of getting into a good place. The more the flowers bloom, the better, the dense pink ocean. I also bought an innocuous double ice cream to take pictures, and there were various wind bells hanging on the cherry blossom tree. This time I used a selfie stick to shoot flowers at high places, and the effect was very good. The shot was very enjoyable! The only regret is that the late cherry blossoms in the cherry pavilion did not open, and the beauty of the promotional photos could not be reproduced. However, there are really many tourists. Although there are many people, it is relatively civilized and the health is good. This is also a place that makes me feel gratified.
This spring finally got the wish. I went to Lingshan Giant Buddha before, because of time, I didn't go to Nianhua Bay. Nianhua Bay in spring is very beautiful, the ancient buildings of Guta Ancient Street (although they were newly built in 2015), but the design is very in place and very mirrored. At night, the three light shows are intoxicated, of which the light show of the Smile Square must be seen, impressed, praise!
The 45 yuan ticket for the Spring Festival holiday also includes the ferry tickets and the bus in the park is really super cost-effective. The scenery inside is good. You can also watch a lot of seagulls when you take the boat. The downside is that there are too many people queuing for the bus and taking the boat for an hour or two. I feel that after entering the park, I almost didn't have much time to play in the queue.
The scenery is very beautiful, and the seagulls are also very cooperative. They struggle to eat bread slices thrown by tourists and other foods. It's just too big, I haven't finished all shopping, I have a chance to go again next time. The Zhai noodles in Guangfu Temple are a little salty.
In winter, it is recommended to wear a coat to take pictures in Shantou. It is more suitable for the atmosphere of winter. Every year from mid-November to mid-February, Shantou will welcome a large number of seagulls, which is a scenic line in winter. You can buy feed seagulls and get close contact with them. Local residents said they are used to eating Panpan buns, so it is best to buy this bread. I bought two bags and returned one bag on the way. The sunset of Shantouyu is also a beautiful scenery that cannot be missed. Under the sunset, the seagulls taking off on the lake are beautiful and intoxicating. It is recommended that you take the boat after 15:00 to Taihu Xiandao. After visiting the island, you can take the boat around 16:20 to return to the pier. Feeding seagulls on board the boat, hands are really cold, and it would be much better to have gloves on. The wind on the ship is very strong, the hat is very necessary to bring a belt, but also can prevent the excrement of the seagulls falling in the head Shanghai ~ will follow the stern, before departure the ship will be turned off, the boat must stand in advance, the second floor side railing is a good position; When you come back, you can see the sunset on the first floor and the second floor. Watch the weather forecast in advance. If you want to take the orange skyline, you must choose to travel on a sunny day, so that the photos taken will look good.
The weather is very good during the Spring Festival, there are too many people! Half price of tickets also includes ferry tickets. The seagull feeding experience on the boat is very good. It’s been too long to take the boat and take the battery.
