🌸Shaoguan Sakura Park | A Dreamy Spring Destination🌸
📍Address: Dongshan Village, Xinshao Town, Zhenjiang District, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province.
🌟About the park: Shaoguan Sakura Park is a "paradise" in the Pearl River Delta. When the flowers bloom, the cherry blossoms cover the mountains and plains, turning the entire hillside into a pink ocean. The park boasts a rich variety of cherry blossoms, including Hikan and Yaezakura. Different varieties bloom in succession at different times, ensuring a long flowering period for visitors to enjoy the colorful blossoms.
🌸Must-see attractions:
Sakura Avenue: The branches of cherry trees on both sides interweave, forming a beautiful flower corridor. Strolling through it, with petals falling like snow, is incredibly romantic. Every photo you take here will be a masterpiece.
Viewing Platform: Ascend to the viewing platform to overlook the entire cherry blossom garden. The sea of flowers, green mountains, and blue sky complement each other, creating a breathtaking and stunning view.
🚌Transportation:
By car: Navigate directly to Shaoguan Sakura Park. The park has a parking lot, making parking convenient. It's about a 2–3 hour drive from Guangzhou.
Public transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Shaoguan Station, then take a bus from the station to the city center. Transfer to a special bus to Dongshan Village. However, buses are relatively infrequent, so plan your time in advance.
🎡Tips for visiting:
It is recommended to enter the park in the morning to avoid peak crowds. Visit the viewing platform first for a panoramic view, then stroll along Sakura Avenue for photos. There are snack stalls in the park to replenish your energy. The soft afternoon light is perfect for portrait close-ups.
🛏Accommodation:
There are many guesthouses near the park with affordable prices. You can also enjoy authentic local dishes, such as chicken soup and bacon with bamboo shoots, and experience rural life.
For a more comfortable stay, choose a hotel in the city center, such as near the Splendor City in Shaoguan. It's convenient for traveling and you can also visit the night market in the evening.
💡Other tips:
Follow the park's official WeChat account for real-time updates on the flowering period to avoid disappointment.
Bring a power bank, as taking photos consumes battery quickly. Don't let low battery power affect your mood.
Wear light-colored clothes, which complement the cherry blossoms and make for amazing photos.
In short, Shaoguan Sakura Park is a must-visit destination for flower viewing in spring. Invite your friends and family to join you on this pink adventure!
