Huzhou: Immerse Yourself in the Charm of Plum Blossoms

Tired of the crowds in Shanghai? Escape the hustle and bustle and embrace the romance of spring in Huzhou! 🌸The plum blossoms here are not only in full bloom but also incredibly vibrant thanks to the surrounding water. The second floor of Chaoran Terrace offers breathtaking views—a photographer's paradise!💕 Located in Longshan Subdistrict, Changxing County, Huzhou, the Oriental Plum Garden is one of the largest red plum bases in China. Covering over 400 acres, it boasts more than 20,000 plum trees of 150 varieties, including precious species like red plum, green calyx plum, and beauty plum. 🌸Water adds a touch of magic to the plum garden. The plum groves encircle clear pools, and the reflection of red plums on the water's surface creates a stunning, ever-changing watercolor painting. The occasional mist over the lake adds a touch of mystique, making it feel like a fairyland. 🌟Chaoran Terrace is highly recommended. As the highest point in the garden, its second floor offers a panoramic view of the entire plum garden, where plum blossoms and the lake complement each other in breathtaking beauty. Don't miss out on exploring the Meihuawu area, where the fragrance of plum blossoms fills the air, creating a scene reminiscent of a Miyazaki anime. ❤️We were even treated to a Yue Opera performance at Chaoran Terrace.
