Yuantouzhu at 5am: The blue-toned night cherry blossoms are next level.

This spring, you must visit Yuantouzhu, one of the world's three major cherry blossom viewing spots.
You won't know how beautiful spring is here until you do!
Here, you will see the embodiment of "life is ten thousand springs coming into bloom"!

Based on past experience, here is a practical guide to cherry blossom viewing in Yuantouzhu.

Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Period

Early cherry blossoms: Mid-to-late March (Somei Yoshino in full bloom)
Night cherry blossoms: March 20–April 5 (light show from 18:00–21:00) (flower news will be updated in the comments section later~)

Efficient Cherry Blossom Viewing Route:

Dushan Gate → Changchun Bridge → Cherry Blossom Valley (depart as soon as it opens in the morning) → Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower → Jiangnan Orchid Garden → Changchun Bridge Night Cherry Blossoms

Location: Yuantouzhu, Wuxi

Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Wuxi Station and take Leyou Line 1 directly to Yuantouzhu.
There are also buses, but the road will be congested. Bicycles and electric vehicles are the most convenient.

Peak Season: Late March to early April
Parking: Private cars are CNY 15/day Time: 8:00–16:00

Check-in Guide:

Enter through the Dushan Gate entrance. The park opens at 6:30am. It is recommended to arrive early and purchase an e-ticket one day in advance to enter the park directly by scanning your ID card. To enjoy the night cherry blossoms, the Cherry Blossom Valley Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower will be cleared at 6pm. Be sure to stand below the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower before 6pm.

Take advantage of the 2-minute clearing + blue tone time to take photos of the empty Cherry Blossom Valley.

This is more convenient than queuing for an hour and waiting for someone to edit the photos.

If you think this is still inconvenient, it is best to stay in Yuantouzhu.

Cherry Blossom Villa and Taigong Sanatorium are both inside the park, and you can also take night scenes at night.
