Everything is open! The spring flower viewing hotspots in Shanghai are back

Another year of Shanghai’s flower season is here, with blossoms in full bloom and various flower festivals and events taking place one after another, filling every corner with the unique and beautiful romance of spring. Take advantage of the bright spring days and go check them out now.

The annual Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival held at Gucun Park is a spring event not to be missed. After 15 years of careful cultivation, Gucun Park boasts the largest cherry blossom display in Shanghai.

In 2025, the Jing’an Flower Festival celebrates the traditional Chinese lunar calendar’s “Birthday of All Flowers” in February, using the lush spring scenery of Daning Park as the main backdrop, blending a thousand flowers with classical Chinese style and charm. Right now, Daning Park is in full bloom with cherry blossoms, crabapples, white magnolias, and other spring flowers, while about 12,000 square meters of one million tulips have also blossomed into a fragrant sea.

From now until July 20, the Miracle Garden in Pujiang Country Park is hosting a spring flower exhibition themed “Fantastic Animals in the Garden,” inviting everyone to enjoy spring alongside 5 million blooming flowers.

How can the people of Shanghai welcome spring without visiting the Chenshan Botanical Garden to see the cherry blossoms?

In the Cherry Blossom Garden, besides the large areas of Tsubaki cherry and Kawazu cherry, there are also various other cherry blossom varieties such as Taishan fragrant cherry, winter jasmine cherry, and bellflower cherry, helping you discover more “perfect photo formulas.”

Known as the “springtime exclusive check-in spot” and the “back garden by the East China Sea,” Shanghai Four Seasons Flower Port (formerly Shanghai Flower Port) has gained fame for its rich collection of rare plants and exquisite scene setups.

This year’s flower exhibition features nine themed scenes, including the romantic “Love Island,” the blooming “Monet Garden,” the Instagram-worthy “Hot Plant Garden,” the fun-filled “Bright Ecological Picking Garden,” the elegant “Orchid Exhibition,” the playful “Pink Beach and Edible Flower Garden,” the blend of city and country in the “Starry Sky Camping Site,” and the uniquely shaped “Flamingo Boat Tour,” among others.

In March, Chongming Dongping National Forest Park is filled with the breath of spring. Purple February orchids are blooming gradually under the dawn redwood forest, as if laying a luxurious carpet on the land.

At the Fangta Garden Tulip Exhibition, 40,000 tulips form a giant palette, with 20 colors ranging from rouge red to moonlight white unfolding gradually, creating a step-by-step flower viewing experience.
