Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden

The Chenshan Botanical Garden is a riot of color in spring, with the Yoshino cherry blossoms being the main attraction. However, the eagerly awaited tulips have also made their quiet debut. The tulips in the Chenshan Botanical Garden in 2024 are close to the color of champagne. They have planted a mix of red, pink, yellow, orange, and other colors, totaling 8 varieties and more than 50,000 tulip plants, creating a vibrant and layered sea of flowers. The main viewing spots are located in the areas of the electric car track, the mine, the bamboo garden, and the 'Chenshan Impression' flowerbed, with additional scattered displays in the flower borders and the bulb perennial garden. This stunning 'carpet of flowers' has become a favorite spot for influencers and tourists to take photos. Although it's not yet overcrowded, finding a spot to take a picture without anyone in it is not easy.

Although there are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Shanghai, the cherry blossom forest in Chenshan Botanical Garden will definitely amaze you. The sloping lawn with the color-healing white cherry blossoms is full of the gentleness of spring, and such a movie-like scene is unique in Shanghai. Shooting location: Right side of Gate No.1 On the right hand side is the Cherry Blossom Avenue, which are all slopes with a certain degree of inclination, very 'Chenshan', and it is still a tool to avoid people when there are many people. Going inside, there is a cherry blossom station near the aquatic plant garden. There is also a small cherry blossom forest near the station, next to the park wall on the side of Chenhua Road. There are fewer people here, but the ground is relatively flat. Near Gate No.1, there is also a cement white wall where you can sit on it, and you are surrounded by cherry blossoms.

The cherry blossom season in the park lasts a long time, and by early April, you can generally see cherry blossoms at different stages of their bloom. 📸Photo tips: 👗Outfit: Light-colored clothes will make your photos stand out!

I first learned about the Victoria Amazonica from a report. Its broad leaves, like jade plates floating on the water, are incredibly beautiful and spectacular! After doing some research, I found out that the Chen Mountain Botanical Garden has a large area of Victoria Amazonica in its prime viewing period. How could I not go and see it in person? The Victoria Amazonica, hailed as the 'Queen of the Water', is not only extraordinarily beautiful but also possesses great strength. Its leaves usually have a diameter of about 2 meters, and the largest leaves can even reach 4 meters, like a small boat, capable of carrying 40 to 70 kilograms of weight. It is truly the 'strongman' of the plant world on the water. The Victoria Amazonica is not only for leaf viewing but also for flower viewing. The flowering period is only a short three days. On the first day, its flowers are as white as jade, on the second day they turn pink, and on the third day they turn red, then quietly sink into the water. This brief but brilliant flowering period also leaves a deep impression on people. In the botanical garden, a 'Hundred Changes of Cute Kids Sitting on Victoria Amazonica' event is being held, with many cute kids participating. The children play on the leaves of the Victoria Amazonica, sitting, lying, prone, and other poses, experiencing this magical plant and feeling its power firsthand. If you also have the opportunity to witness this magical Victoria Amazonica, I believe you will definitely be amazed by its beauty and strength.

The annual Chenshan Botanical Garden Water Lily Exhibition has opened again! Water lilies are diverse and colorful, among which the indigo, or blue-purple water lilies, are particularly special. They are deeper than purple and redder than blue. They bloom their unique beauty and charm in this summer and autumn season. The lotus has just shown its sharp corners, and there is already a dragonfly standing on it! I didn't expect that I also captured the moment in this verse!

Finally checked in at Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden! Every year from March to April is the most romantic cherry blossom season in Shanghai. Drive straight to Gate No.1 of Chenshan Botanical Garden, there is a parking lot at the entrance, which is very convenient. 🌈The magnolias at the entrance have already attracted a large number of visitors, stealing the show. 🌈Right after entering, there is a large display of tulips showing off their unique charm. The variety of tulips is vast, and the planting scale in Chenshan Botanical Garden is also large, with the entrance being just the tip of the iceberg. 🌈The main viewing spots for tulips are concentrated in areas such as the electric car track, the mine pit, the bamboo garden area, and the 'Chenshan Impression' flower bed. If you want to delve deeper, you can take an electric car at the entrance to save time and effort. However, if you are like us and want every chance encounter to become a surprise, then it's better to wander aimlessly, because the spring of Chenshan Botanical Garden will never disappoint. 🌈Continue walking forward, and you will see the enchanting cherry blossoms blooming like clouds. This is the famous Kawazu cherry blossom avenue in Chenshan Botanical Garden. The best viewing period for Chenshan cherry blossoms starts from early March, which is what we often refer to as the early cherry blossoms, mainly concentrated on the Kawazu cherry blossom avenue and the early cherry blossom viewing area represented by the welcoming cherry blossoms. But viewing cherry blossoms still requires a bit of fate, when we arrived some of the early cherry blossoms had already fallen, so we did not see the kilometer-long cherry blossom road in its full glory. However, friends who go later can look forward to the mid-blooming cherry blossom avenue represented by Tokyo cherry blossoms. 🌈Fortunately, the diversity of flowers in Chenshan Botanical Garden still makes up for the small regret of the cherry blossoms. Inside Chenshan Botanical Garden, there are not only romantic cherry blossoms but also a plethora of flowers in bloom. The plum blossoms and magnolias are competing for beauty, and various flowers adorn the botanical garden as if stepping into a fairy tale world, splendid and picturesque. 🌈It is recommended to bring some delicacies and have a picnic on the lawn for a full atmosphere.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, a comprehensive botanical garden that combines scientific research, science popularization, and sightseeing. It allowed me to deeply experience the charm of nature and the fun of science. As soon as I entered the Chenshan Botanical Garden, I was attracted by the rich and colorful plant world. From tropical rainforests to cold-zone plants, from aquatic plants to desert plants, there are various types of plants with different shapes. Walking in the forest path, I felt like I was in a green treasure, feeling the vitality of nature. The four seasons of Chenshan Botanical Garden also have their own characteristics. In spring, the park is full of flowers and butterflies, making people feel the vitality of nature; in summer, under the dense bamboo forest and by the clear stream, people can enjoy the coolness and play; in autumn, the scene of falling red leaves is intoxicating; in winter, the tropical plants in the greenhouse are lush, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold winter. In addition to natural scenery, Chenshan Botanical Garden is also an important base for science education. During the tour, I not only appreciated the beauty of various plants, but also learned a lot about plants through the science activities and explanations in the park. This knowledge not only increased my knowledge, but also gave me a deeper understanding of nature. In addition, Chenshan Botanical Garden also provides various facilities and services for tourists, such as rest areas, dining areas, souvenir shops, etc., so that tourists can get sufficient rest and enjoyment during the tour. These facilities and services also made me feel the humanization and care of the park. The tour of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden allowed me to deeply experience the charm of nature and the fun of science. This botanical garden is not only a good place to enjoy the scenery, but also a good place to increase knowledge and relax. I believe this wonderful experience will always stay in my memory.

| The Yoshino cherry trees at Chenshan are in full bloom, keep this guide handy.🤩🤩🤩 I never expected that two years later, I would catch up with the mid-blooming cherry blossoms at Chenshan again, which shows it was meant to be~ 🌸🌸🌸 In my opinion, Chenshan is the ultimate cherry blossom spot in Shanghai. However, after seeing the early blossoms last year, the weekend crowds dampened my enthusiasm😔. This year, I was hesitant about whether to go cherry blossom viewing and where to go. The women's welfare at my workplace includes a half-day off in March that I haven't taken yet, and April is approaching.😜 Fortunately, this year's blooming period is a week later, let's go see the cherry blossoms! 🚗🚗🚗 I wanted to go to Gucun for convenience, but my daughter prefers Chenshan. I checked and found that the Somei Yoshino cherry trees were 50% in bloom, and they are expected to be in full bloom this weekend, so we went off-peak on Wednesday afternoon😘. 📅 Shooting date: March 27, 2024 💰 Scan to buy tickets: Adult ticket, 60 yuan/person; Student ticket, 30 yuan/person 🅿️ Parking navigation: No. 3888 Chenhua Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai (Gate 1) 🚇 Public transport: Sheshan Station on Metro Line 9 —— Bus 95 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Upon entering the park, I was still stunned by the spring scenery. It was forecasted to rain all day, and the park was filled with casual cherry blossom viewers, with few commercial shoots. Although the flowers were not fully bloomed, the slightest bit of sunshine☀️ made the mood especially pleasant. 💌 Photo outfit tips: 1. Try to choose solid-colored clothing👗, which will complement the pink cherry blossoms nicely. This time I wore a trench coat🧥, I personally prefer comfortable everyday outfits. 2. Since the flowers were not fully bloomed, we brought a📸 long-focus 70-200mF2.8 lens. The compression effect of the long-focus can make the flowers appear denser, making the photos look more thematic and aesthetically pleasing. 3. As for the shooting location... let's be a bit Versailles, it's easy to take pictures with no people around wherever there are fewer people. I must recommend the bus station🚏, the area nearby is easy to capture wide scenes without people.
