It's the perfect time to enjoy plum blossoms in Qingdao!
Shi Mei An Park has always been the top choice for weekend strolls at the junction of Licang and Chengyang, and now that the annual plum blossom season has arrived, the excitement is extraordinary! 😆
The park currently has over 200 varieties, totaling more than 20,000 plum trees, and over 8,000 plum bonsais. 'Dan Feng Hou', 'Laoshan White', 'Green Calyx', 'Cinnabar', 'Jiang Mei', 'Beauty Plum', 'Palace Pink' and others are the main varieties for viewing in the plum garden.
Each variety of plum blossoms has a slightly different blooming period, but currently, most of the plum blossoms are in bloom, and the entire viewing period can last until mid-April. Don't miss out on this great flower-viewing season! 🌸
🌟 There is no charge for entering the park without going into the plum garden, and the wooden walkway around the lake is also very beautiful. Occasionally, you can see families camping out for a spring outing.
🌟 There is a parking lot at the west gate of Wenchang Road, but the parking lot is very small. If you go late on the weekend, there is no place to park, and cars are usually parked on both sides of the road!
