Kunming World Horti-Expo Garden Winter Cherry Blossoms

#holidayitinerary

While most of China shivers in winter, Kunming’s World Horti-Expo Garden defies the seasons with a breathtaking bloom of Yunnan Winter Cherry Blossoms. From December to February, these hardy sakura trees transform the international garden complex into a romantic pink paradise – making it the only place in northern China where you can experience hanami in winter coats!

Visitor Tips:
· Best Time: Early mornings (8-10 AM) for soft light and misty atmosphere; sunset for golden glow.
🚇 Access: Metro Line 5 to Expo Center Station, Exit A
⏰ Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (winter)

Botanical Wonder:
· Unique Variety: Yunnan winter cherry (Prunus cerasoides) blooms at 5-15°C – unlike spring sakura.
· Cultural Fusion: Japanese hanami tradition meets China’s largest horticultural showcase.
· Conservation: These trees are part of Kunming’s urban microclimate research project.
