#Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I would like to call it the cherry blossom ceiling of Shanghai - Chenshan Botanical Garden
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.

It's just like the place in Hayao Miyazaki's anime
Chenshan Botanical Garden!!
Regret that I found this place so late
It's so beautiful! It's just like the place in Hayao Miyazaki's anime
And the landscape is well arranged
The park is very modern, not like the traditional kind of park
There is some design in it
And it doesn't restrict visitors at all
The scenery is super beautiful (autumn leaves are colorful 😍)
🎫The ticket is sixty yuan per person (worth it!!)
Time: close at five
It's a bit unfinished for one time, the park is very big!

Chenshan Botanical Gardens is a little further out of Shanghai’s main city centre but worth a trip to see it.
Tickets cost 60RMB for a whole day entry and the area is huge.
Picnic set up is recommended in this area as it’s calm and quiet with some locals flocking to pitch tents in the summer heat.
Visit each flower area and finish off with a trip through the enclosed ‘tropical’ forest.

🌷Blooming tulips brighten up
📍At Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, elegant tulips of various colors are in full bloom, making a dramatic impression.
🌷In the garden, many types of spring flowers compete for beauty and attraction, but tulips stand out for the ocean of color they create and the way they are planted.
🖼️This year, 48 tulip varieties are on display, an increase of seven varieties compared with that in 2021. Mixed-color planting and interplanting methods were utilized in addition to standard single-color planting methods to produce a colorful and multi-layer landscape. Tulips can be seen in the garden's flower borders and the Chenshan Impression Flower Bed.
💐The layout of tulips at the Chenshan Impression Flower Bed, which is located near the Green Theater at Gate II, is based on a giant leaf figure and coupled with the undulating terrain. Beautiful and colorful patterns were created in the garden with eight varieties of tulips in red, pink, yellow, orange and other colors. The area was once a popular place for tourists to take pictures.
📍Tulips can also be found in the square outside Gate I, along the line from Gate I's battery station to the Children's Garden Station, along the main tour line's flower borders, and near the Bamboo Garden's flower border.

Shanghai Getaway: Flower Power
🌸 When we hear "Botanical garden", we usually think about some boring garden with flowers and stuff. But Chengshan one is not the same. You totally have to go there! And here are some reasons:
🌸 It is modern. You saw that alien like building on the first pic? This is a green house. The line of those look even more impressive in real life.
🌸 It is HUGE. It has mountings to climb, loans to lie down, forests to wonder in, lakes to watch and even more.
🌸 It has way more apart of plants: several areas with playgrounds for kids that look like a pirate ship or deserts full of sand.
🌸 Orchid greenhouse with... dinosaurs! Yes, while you are walking around amazing orchids and trying to pick up your jaw from the ground, you can notice some very well done motion dinosaurs. So cool!
🌸 Getting there is not that hard if you have a car, if bot, still can get there taking subway line 9 and intercanging to Songjiang 96 bus. 7 stops and you are there.
🌸 Address: Songjiang District, 3888 Chenhua Rd (松江区辰花路3888)

The "Sillow Water Lily World" Goddess 2019 Water Lily Exhibition is being held at the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. This year's Water Lily Exhibition has seven exhibition areas, and more than 300 varieties are on display, which is very worth seeing! In particular, this year's special feature is that the Botanical Garden's own innovative "Lyqin" purple water lily variety is very amazing. The yellow scattering flower buds and the thick flower stalks combine the charm of "Goddess" and "female man", which is one of the best.
If you like Monet's water lily series, you can feel a high degree of reduction here, and a quiet world of water lily is enough to make people think. There are also many beautiful black swan in the lake, which brings a lot of vitality to the world of water lily.
I suggest you not to watch the water lily too early or too late, because the opening of the water lily is more willful, too early and too late to appreciate its fully open state, it must be just right!
If you missed this year's water lily exhibition, it doesn't matter. There are many other beautiful plants in the botanical garden for viewing. For example, the net red powder will soon mature, and the National Day can be considered to play in the botanical garden.

As spring unfolds its splendor, Chenshan Botanical Garden in Shanghai, famed for its breathtaking Hejinying Avenue, now delights visitors with the emergence of pink "clouds." The Hejin Cherry trees, known for their exquisite beauty, have begun to bloom, painting the branches with clusters of pink flowers that stand out against the azure sky 🌸🌸.
Each tree boasts an impressive bloom rate, with more than 20% of its branches adorned with delicate pink blossoms. While not as visually overwhelming as the full bloom, the sight of these budding flowers is akin to encountering a shy, lovely maiden 🌸💕.
The Hejin Cherry is a hybrid of the Oshima Cherry and Hanfei Cherry varieties, boasting pink flowers with five delicate petals. Its flowering season, from late February to early March, heralds the arrival of spring. When in full bloom, the Hejin Cherry trees present a stunning sight, their elegant shapes adorned with abundant pink blossoms, resembling a sea of honey-pink clouds drifting from afar, a sight truly mesmerizing and enchanting 🌸☁️.
Records from Chenshan Botanical Garden indicate that this year's budding of the Hejin Cherry trees began around January 16, the earliest on record. By the time of the Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Dragon, the first flowers had bloomed, marking the beginning of this beautiful display of nature's artistry 🌸🐉.
Visitors to Chenshan Botanical Garden during this season are treated to a spectacle of color and beauty, as the garden comes alive with the delicate charm of the Hejin Cherry blossoms. It's a reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature, and a moment to savor the fleeting beauty of spring 🌸🌿.

As you continue your botanical journey, walking into the heart of Shanghai's Chenshan Botanical Garden, you are transported into a realm where the sublime beauty of wisteria transforms the landscape into a classical painting. The corridors, intertwined with branches and lush greenery, are dominated by the impressive drapes of wisteria blooms. The most striking are the hues of purple, creating a vivid canopy that captivates and charms all who wander beneath 🌿🌸.
Wisteria in Chenshan is not limited to the classic purple; the garden also features the elegant white flowers of *Wisteria venusta*, adding a delicate contrast to the deeper shades. This variety, with its cascading beauty, enriches the garden's palette, offering a softer, serene visual experience 🤍💜.
As the seasons transition to autumn, the garden reveals yet another aspect of the wisteria's life cycle. The pods, resembling lentils, hang gracefully from the branches. These flat, round strips are covered with white hair, a fascinating botanical feature that captivates those with an eye for natural wonders. Even as the leaves begin to fall, revealing the stark, ancient green branches, wisteria maintains its decorative charm, providing a stunning visual that enhances the garden's winter scenery 🍂🌿.
This spring, Chenshan Botanical Garden invites you to experience this enchanting display of "purple qi coming from the east." It’s a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in an atmosphere filled with poetic beauty and tranquility. Welcome to a place where nature paints a scene worthy of a masterpiece each season, creating memories that linger long after your visit 🌸🖼️.

The vast expanse of Nemophila forms a sea, like a deep blue ocean 🌊 stretching across the land, with poppies twinkling like stars within, weaving a real-life fairy tale tapestry 💫. Being there is like stepping into a wonderland, with every frame a high-definition wallpaper-worthy spring blockbuster!

Step into the earthly paradise of April! If you don't go, you'll truly regret it
I thought March in Shanghai was beautiful enough, until I encountered the earthly paradise of April. April in Shanghai is probably blue, with the sky and the sea, and the hills covered in blue Scilla. At the beginning of April, I have a particular fondness for this shade of blue, and I recommend these flower sea parks to you as well:
1. Chenshan Botanical Garden
The Scilla at Chenshan Botanical Garden bloom every year on the small hill near Gate No. 3. On sunny days, the sky merges with the blue Scilla, creating a scene straight out of a comic book.

Don't play too hard, camping has already reached the next level
Beautiful spring day~ Taking beautiful photos with sisters at Chenshan Botanical Garden~
Flower sea at Gate 3~
Arrived at the long-awaited popular photo spot
Right across from the jubilant Xilin Grassland, ALDI has sponsored a whole area of grassland, which is quite impressive
I must say, the on-site decoration is super beautiful~ Full of camping atmosphere~
Received a snack gift pack and a limited edition inflatable sofa at the main venue
Lay down to rest on the Xilin Grassland after getting tired from taking photos
This sofa is quite convenient, it can seat two people without a problem,
And the scene is just full of puns, isn't it?
Lying flat literature is just perfect for this lazy spring day
Lying flat while snacking, what kind of fairy tale day is this

❸ Recently, white cherry blossoms and cheerful Pachysandra have also quietly bloomed, currently welcoming their peak season, and can be appreciated together.
The day we went happened to coincide with a spring outing, so there were quite a few people, and we didn't take many photos, but the place is still great for pictures. The tulips are also a bright spot in spring, their colorful hues are too beautiful.

The cherry blossoms at Chenshan Botanical Garden are the kind that can become legendary in spring
Spring in Shanghai is worth visiting ten thousand times! Every Shanghainese has their own sacred cherry blossom viewing spot in their heart. In March, Chenshan Botanical Garden welcomes the most beautiful season. The early cherry blossoms have entered their full bloom period, and when the wind blows, the petals fall like snow, dancing in the wind. It feels like walking into a movie scene, truly healing.
The cherry blossoms in the garden are mainly concentrated on the right side of Gate No. 1, where petals slowly fall beneath the cherry trees, capturing romantic moments with the camera. Along Cherry Blossom Avenue, there are many benches by the river, which really complement the cherry trees for great photos! It's nice to sit on the grassy slopes and shoot upwards, or use the cherry blossoms in the foreground for downward shots, and even use mirrors, books, and other small props for close-ups of the cherry blossoms, all of which can effectively avoid the crowds.
Many areas within the park allow for tent camping, making for a beautiful spring picnic under the cherry trees.
In addition to cherry blossoms, tulips and magnolias are also very photogenic. The botanical garden is quite large, so it is recommended to set aside 2-3 hours for a visit.

This weekend, experience the joy of having an entire Yoshino cherry blossom forest to yourself
🌈The most important thing in spring is, of course, cherry blossom viewing🌈
📍It's undeniable that at the end of March, the Chenshan Botanical Garden is the ultimate cherry blossom viewing spot in the magic city!
🔸In the morning, there are few people in the vast cherry blossom forest, and the blooming cherry blossoms are like pink clouds, filling the entire sky, a sight too beautiful for words😍.
🔸From mid to early March, different varieties of cherry blossoms begin to bloom one after another, with the most beautiful being the Yoshino cherry blossoms of Nakazakura. 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!
Props: Avoid having empty hands, only doing the ✌️ sign? Remember to bring some photography props, such as balloons, cameras, books, straw bags, etc.

Shanghai Cherry Blossom Viewing | The Yoshino cherry trees at Chenshan are in full bloom, keep this guide handy
| 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.

The Chenshan Botanical Garden is even more beautiful from April to June!
➡️ Location
It is recommended to enter through Gate 1 of Chenshan Botanical Garden, which is the main entrance. Right there you'll find the Cherry Blossom Avenue! There's a parking lot at the entrance, but remember to go early on weekends, or you won't find a spot❗️
🎫 Ticket price: 60 RMB per person
⏰ 8:00-16:30 (closing time for entry)
➡️ Dining
There are restaurants inside the garden, mostly near the three main gates, offering both Chinese and Western cuisine. However, it can be slow and crowded when it's busy. You can bring your own food for a picnic, as there's a large lawn where you can spread out a picnic mat and relax while eating🔆
➡️ Flower Viewing
The best time to visit Chenshan Botanical Garden is from April to June. In March, only some cherry blossoms and plum blossoms are in bloom, and the tulips are also blooming near Gate 2. From April to June, there will also be magnolias, irises, hydrangeas, etc. It's also a good time to visit the greenhouse, as it won't be too hot.
➡️ Attractions
Mining Garden: Features mine tunnels and an artificial waterfall, where you can walk through the tunnel to the bridge on the lake to take pictures of the waterfall.
Greenhouse: Located near Gate 2, it is divided into three sections: tropical flowers and fruits, xerophytic plants, and rare plants. It's better to go earlier when it's not too hot. I think it will be hot by June!
Plant Maze: When I visited, the camellias were already starting to wither. I'm not sure what flowers will be next, but you can go and see for yourself.
KYLE REED
Finally checked in! This breathtakingly beautiful flower viewing spot is worth the rush
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.

Shanghai Cherry Blossom Heaven!!!
Focus on the essentials, no need to repeat information about tickets, business hours, or location.
During the cherry blossom festival, make sure to arrive early, before the gates open at 8 am. At that time, the parking lot is spacious, and you can park anywhere. Once it's past 9 am, the parking lot might be full and not allow more cars, forcing you to park far away and walk over a kilometer. Queue up at the entrance to enter the park as soon as the gates open to start taking photos immediately, capturing many shots without people in them. When the gates open, everyone runs inside, so those with children should be careful.
Chenshan Botanical Garden has slopes, which allows for a variety of angles for taking photos without the need for a ladder; it's very convenient.
To the left of Gate 1 is the cherry blossom station, where you can photograph the tram, and to the right is Cherry Blossom Avenue, which features a cherry blossom phone booth, mailbox, and station. The main photography spots are concentrated on the right side, and you can refer to photos for angles.

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, you'll really regret it if you don't go!
The weather was particularly nice on Sunday, with bright sunshine and a comfortable temperature, so my husband drove us to Chenshan Botanical Garden for a stroll since my dad likes plants. It was supposed to take 1 hour, but due to traffic, it took 2 hours. The place is really huge, we entered from Gate 1, close to the Cherry Blossom Avenue. It must be especially beautiful in spring, and along the way, we saw many swans swimming freely, which put us in a great mood. There's a large grassy area where I wanted to roll around. Gate 2 is the greenhouse plant area, where you can see various plants even in winter, very photogenic, reminding me of the botanical garden in Singapore. Gate 3 has a quarry garden, which is quite spectacular. We only visited these three places, entering from Gate 1 and exiting from the same. Since our whole family loves greenery, we were so happy to be here! It will be even more beautiful in spring, and we'll take another good walk then!
Opening hours: 08:00-17:00, entry stops at 16:30. Ticket price: 60 yuan, free for those aged 65 and above
Transportation: Self-driving, parking at Gate 1 costs 5 yuan per hour
Dining: There are restaurants at Gate 1 and Gate 2 of the botanical garden, neither are very good, just have something simple

A must-visit botanical garden
🚌Internal transportation: Sightseeing bus, ticket price 3 yuan/person/time (coin-operated/scan code to buy tickets)
📍Stops: Line A: Comprehensive Building-Children's Botanical Garden-Mine Garden-Rock Plant Garden-Exhibition Greenhouse Terminal
Line B: Exhibition Greenhouse Terminal-East China Regional Garden-Aquatic Plant Garden-Comprehensive Building Terminal
🌈The garden is quite large, and it is quite tiring to walk purely. My route is to choose Line A in reverse
First from the Comprehensive Building--Exhibition Greenhouse Terminal, then walk according to the Exhibition Greenhouse-Rock Plant Garden-Mine Garden--Children's Botanical Garden-Comprehensive Building. This route is also recommended to friends who go later, because the Exhibition Greenhouse is the place that can get the most value for the ticket, and it is also the place that closes the earliest. This museum will drive people away when the time comes, but the entire botanical garden will not be driven out if you haven’t finished visiting it, and you can dawdle. Line B is indeed quite ordinary, if you have enough time, you can turn around.
⚡️Friends who want to see roses wait a bit longer, discourage, because this season has ended, it has been pruned, so the Rose Garden, Angel Flower Wall is not worth going recently.
The water lilies are blooming, and the black swans are also very artistic.
🌵The Exhibition Greenhouse has three halls: Desert Plant Garden (there are many giant cacti inside, a wide variety of species, and there is a small piece of sand in the middle, which is very photogenic); Rare Plant Garden (there are many kinds of orchids, the streamline design here is very clever, and the interior decoration is also pleasing to the eye); Tropical Flower and Fruit Hall (recently giant pineapples have bloomed very shockingly, this hall is mainly a huge shock, the coconut trees have touched the roof)
🎋Rock Plant Garden: It's just some rock plants, it's not bad to learn.
🌺Mine Garden: You can climb to the top of the Chen Mountain Tower, or you can go down to the mine. Climbing the mountain is quite tiring, it is worth going down to the mine.
🌱Medicinal Plant Garden: There are many roadside weeds seen in childhood, but they are herbal medicines.
Then you can go to the Bulbous Root Garden-Climbing Net-Small Animal Garden (there are sika deer, peacocks, sheep, you can tease the peacock, it will really open the screen)-Vine Garden (there is a two-story frame, full of vines, you can go up and walk, you may encounter small squirrels.)-Then go to the book house to walk the small bridge-Go and see the lonely tree-It's over.
🌻Chen Mountain Botanical Garden has different flower exhibitions in each season, remember to check the time before you go.
