Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots Around Wuhan, Huangpi Qingliangzhai's Native Wild Cherry Blossoms Amidst the Mountains and Waters, Feel the Spring in Full Swing
Wuhan's cherry blossom viewing is not only at East Lake and the Five Great, but there are also many scenic spots with fewer people around. Qingliangzhai is over 600 meters above sea level, higher than Wuhan's urban area, and the temperature is correspondingly lower, so the cherry blossoms here bloom later, perfectly relayed with the urban area.
The cherry blossoms of Qingliangzhai are native wild Chinese cherry blossoms of Hubei, mainly consisting of wild cherry and mountain cherry varieties. With an area of over 3,200 acres and more than 110,000 trees, Qingliangzhai's cherry blossoms are among the top in Wuhan and even in the whole country. Currently, more than six varieties have been discovered, including cliff cherry, single-tooth cherry, tail-leaf cherry, bristly cherry, southwestern cherry, and cherry. They bloom in early, middle, and late stages, with early blossoms in early March, middle blossoms in late March, and late blossoms in early April, with the blooming period averaging about a month.
Descending the steps to the Drunken Lake shore, the path is lined with blooming mountain flowers, fragrant and pleasing to the eye, creating a delightful scene that intoxicates one in the charming spring light, hence the pavilion in the water is named 'Heart-Intoxicated Pavilion'. Strolling along the lakeside path, the scenery changes with every step. Under the bright sunshine, the early spring hillsides are patches of new green, accented by cherry blossoms and reflected in a pond of spring water, full of vitality and the essence of spring is vividly displayed.
Accommodation:
Qingliangzhai has a resort hotel with luxurious and elegant decoration, comfortable rooms, hot spring access, and a restaurant offering local specialties that are delicious. For sunrise viewing, it is recommended to stay at Qingliangzhai Resort Hotel.

The cherry blossom season in mid-March is still excellent! It is inconvenient transportation! Jingjiao cars are every morning and afternoon! If you miss the time, you can only take a high-priced car! The traffic is seven or eight hours back and forth, and the scenic spot is more than two hours! Self-driving up the mountain ⛰️ bends should be opened leisurely!
Overall it is good, use Sunday to relax with friends. Although the weather is a bit hot, the mountain wind is still very comfortable. I ate lunch at the farmhouse. I waited for more than half an hour before serving. The dishes look very appetizing, especially the vegetarian dishes are delicious.
To be honest, the scenic spot is very dirty, especially the inside and outside of the mountain. The inside is very dirty. It is just a boat ride. Anyway, it is quite tired. You can take the magic carpet. The only satisfaction is that you can take the dog around Wuhan. There are too few scenic spots to take the dog. It’s not bad here.
Mulan Qingliang Village, located in Huangpi District, Wuhan City, is one of the eight scenic spots of Mulan, China, with the highest altitude of more than 800 meters, is Wuhan City's high altitude, large area, and many tour lines of the original ecological leisure area. There are three tour lines in Qingliang Village Scenic Area: Hugu Tour Line, Xifeng Ancient Village Tour Line, Folk Village Tour Line. You can visit the mountains and water, watch the sunrise and sunset, watch the ancient city wall, small bridges and flowing water.
I brought my family over to be cool. I chose the right place. I climbed the mountain all the way. There are trees, shade, not hot at all. It is suitable for summer.
Space capsule is too expensive to pay
The scenery is still good. It's much cooler than in the city. As soon as you enter the mountain, you will feel the temperature with a cool feeling. It's suitable for summer. If you go for the first time, please navigate the South Gate for map navigation. Baidu map shows ticket sales at the North Gate, which almost made me run to the North Gate. Although the North Gate can be used, the gate of Zhenger Bajing is the South Gate. The whole route goes in through the South gate, just follow one route. All the way down to the North Gate, the North Gate has a downhill walkway, directly downhill. That's why you don't go to the North Gate, because when you get in, you go downhill along the scenery. You park at the North Gate. You can only take a battery car from the South Gate to the North Gate. That's too bad. To be exact, there is another way to the North gate. The one who goes up the mountain goes to a village. It takes about 15 minutes to climb the mountain from the North Gate. But I had a chat with the staff inside. There's nothing to do. So the scenery is actually quite short. I think the better scenic development is to connect the climbing scenery directly to the village and then walk down the road from the village. There are some small entertainment items. If you don't want to play, don't buy tickets. Just buy tickets. I think the waterfall inside is a good entertainment project, and other mountain climbing attractions, ropeways and so on. Finally, I suggest staying one night and going to Jinligou for a visit. These two places are very close to each other. At the same time, they are the farthest from the city.
