Shanghai | Gucun Park | Spring Cherry Blossom Poetry Tour

| Gucun Park | Spring Cherry Blossom Poetry Tour. I. Cherry Blossom Dance: Encountering the Beginning of Romance Gucun Park, a "cherry blossom secret realm" in Shanghai's spring, is woven with more than 1,600 acres of cherry forests, more than 120 kinds of cherry blossoms, and 16,000 cherry trees into a pink and white cloud. From mid-March to mid-April, the cherry blossoms are like snow, from the shy first bloom of early cherry blossoms to the grand romance of Somei Yoshino, every moment seems to be a poem kissed by the spring breeze. Strolling on Cherry Blossom Avenue, petals fall lightly on your shoulders, and the air is filled with sweetness, as if falling into a pink dream that you don't want to wake up from. Recommended Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots: Cherry Blossom Island: Shanghai's first immersive cherry blossom park. During the day, you can enjoy the sight of Chinese dancers dancing under the cherry blossom rain. At night, it transforms into a butterfly cherry blossom wonderland, with fireflies and light intertwined, composing the millennium legend of "Butterfly Love Cherry". Rouge Forest (Gate 3): Late cherry blossoms are as intoxicating as rouge, with rich colors like rouge smudges, suitable for framing the moment of strong affection like an oil painting. Streaming Light Cherry Blossoms: When the night cherry blossoms are in full bloom, firefly lights float, and the flower lanterns on the curved bridge are as bright as day, as if traveling back to the Tang Dynasty Lantern Festival. II. Literary and Artistic Experience: Poetic Residence Time Hanfu and Chinese Style Travel Wearing Hanfu and strolling with lanterns on Cherry Blossom Island, you can co-star in a fairy tale with NPCs; or participate in the Chinese Style Competition, with sleeves flying, deducing the graceful and majestic oriental aesthetics. Playing the zither and sipping tea under the cherry blossom pavilion, holding a fan and chanting lightly by the curved bridge, every frame is an ancient style painting. Ferris Wheel and Cherry Blossom Cloud Whisper The pink Ferris wheel slowly rises, overlooking thousands of acres of cherry forests like pink waves surging. Above the clouds, make the gentlest vow of spring. Poetic Narrative of Night Cherry Blossom Light and Shadow When night falls, Cherry Blossom Island transforms into a light and shadow theater. The "Butterfly Meets Cherry" water show weaves a dreamlike narrative with lasers and music. Fireflies fall into the world like stars, romantic to suffocation. III. Secret Realm Exploration: Interweaving Nature and Childlike Fun Forest Sports Park: Play snooker under the cherry blossom trees, or meditate quietly by the window in the yoga room. The fusion of sports and cherry blossom viewing interprets the poetic residence of urban people. Water Sports Base: Kayaks glide across the lake with swaying cherry shadows, and petals sway lightly with the waves, as if in Monet's "Water Lilies". Dinosaur Park: Take children back to the Jurassic period. Between the roars of mechanical dinosaurs, cherry blossom rain falls quietly, colliding with a magical symphony of time and space. IV. Gourmet Elegance: Spring Feast with Cherry Blossoms Cherry Blossom Limited Afternoon Tea: In the glass room of Hengshan North Suburb Hotel, cherry blossom macarons and special coffee exude aroma, and outside the window are full of flowers and an open-air movie on the lawn. Night Cherry Blossom Market: Handmade cherry blossom hairpins, cherry blossom ice cream, intangible cultural heritage crafts... The market lights and cherry blossoms complement each other, and the fireworks hide the poetic ingenuity. V. Photography Guide: Freeze Romantic Moments Best Light and Shadow: 6-9 am in the morning, the cherry color is hazy when the morning mist has not cleared; 5-7 pm in the evening, the sunset gilds the petals, and the backlight shooting is as clear as glass. Wearing Inspiration: Light-colored long skirts, Hanfu or Lolita costumes, dance with cherry blossoms; you can carry a lantern for night shooting to light up the gentleness of the dark night. VI. Practical Tips for a More Comfortable Poetry Tickets and Time: Gucun Park + Natural Valley Dinosaur Park Tour Ticket/Oriental Bird World CNY 49.9, Night Cherry Blossom Island Night Special Ticket CNY 25 (entry at 16:45). Opening hours: 6:00-21:30, Night Cherry Blossom Island 16:45-21:30 (latest entry time 21:00). Transportation Advice: Line 7 of the subway goes directly to Gate 2 of Gucun Park. Avoid weekend peaks and travel green for a more leisurely experience. Hidden Corner: The plum and cherry blossoms are intertwined near the Cherry Blossom Barbecue Garden, which is sparsely populated and suitable for private tranquility. The End: The spring day of Gucun Park is a collaboration between cherry blossoms and poetry. Whether you walk hand in hand in the rain of flowers or sit alone on a bench listening to the wind, there is always a scenery here that can slow down time into a haiku. May you encounter your own "cherry blossom love" in the fluttering pink snow 💖.
