Unlock the trendiest way to enjoy cherry blossoms
The East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden is a cherry blossom-specific garden with Chinese style, featuring over sixty varieties of cherry blossoms and more than 10,000 cherry trees, including the rare green cherry variety and precious varieties imported from Japan. When the cherry blossoms are in bloom, the garden is full of flowers, resembling clouds and smoke. A gentle breeze sweeps through, and the falling cherry blossoms look like snow. With reasonable planting and matching, the garden's cherry blossom viewing period can last about one and a half months.

The lighting arrangements create different visual effects, making the garden a scene of flowing colors. Whether standing on the bridge to gaze into the distance or quietly appreciating the flowers by the flowing water, it feels like being in a beautiful spring night scene. This year, the garden has also added special animal-shaped light installations, making nighttime cherry blossom appreciation even more enjoyable.
In addition, the natural landscape within the garden complements the cherry blossoms, with 70,000 tulips forming a cherry blossom petal shape that is ingeniously crafted, offering visitors a rich viewing experience. A 3,000-square-meter food and leisure square and other thoughtful facilities make it convenient for visitors to relax and enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
