 Osmanthus Park: Encounter an Autumn Osmanthus Fragrance Feast
On October 24th, I couldn't wait to go to the gardens to admire the osmanthus, so I headed straight to Osmanthus Park. As soon as I entered, a sweet fragrance greeted me. Osmanthus flowers were blooming throughout the park, with many locals and tourists leisurely strolling and taking photos under the trees.
Currently, the Dan Osmanthus is blooming most profusely. The golden yellow and orange-red flowers stand out vividly among the green leaves. According to staff, the best viewing period for the osmanthus will be in the next three to four days, around October 25th.
Osmanthus Park truly lives up to its reputation as a famous osmanthus viewing spot in Suzhou. It houses 40 to 79 varieties of osmanthus, including Jiulong Osmanthus, Zhuangyuan Red, and Zhusha Dan Osmanthus, with over a thousand plants in total, offering a rich variety that dazzles visitors.
The park is located at No. 1 (or No. 55) Zhuhui Road, Gusu District, and is open free of charge all year round. You can take Metro Line 5 to "Zhuhuiqiao" Station and walk to the park. This autumn, why not visit Osmanthus Park, immerse yourself in the intoxicating osmanthus fragrance, and capture the beauty of autumn with your camera?
