Shunguoshan Forest Park

🚗 Navigate to Shunguoshan Forest Park South Gate 1 Parking Lot 🅿️ (free, more crowded during holidays)
🌸 Route: South Gate — Twenty-Four Filial Piety Portrait Road (you can see the "Little Great Wall" pebble path) — Wooden Boardwalk — "Pleasant View" Viewing Platform (right below is Cherry Blossom Avenue) — North Slope — Star Picking Platform — Descend from West Gate
🦋 Since I went during the Qingming holiday, I didn’t see any cherry blossoms at all, so I headed in the other direction to the Star Picking Platform. The road to the Star Picking Platform is quite steep, feeling like a treadmill obstacle run, but it’s not very far.
🦋 For hiking enthusiasts, you can enter from the West Gate (P10-11), which also has a smaller parking lot 🅿️. Walking along this road, you can see how many kilometers you have covered on both sides.
🦋 Difficulty level: 🌟 (Overall, it’s very easy, suitable for family trips)

The only downside was not seeing beautiful cherry blossoms. Next year, I want to visit during the peak cherry blossom season to enjoy the flowers 🌸
