Hangzhou's Hidden Gem - Taiziwan Park

During the May Day period, Taiziwan Park is devoid of the hustle and bustle of the flower exhibition period, as well as the colorful array of spring flowers. However, the beauty of the park remains intact with its small bridges, flowing streams, pavilions, lawns, maple trees, jade cicada flowers, and the large windmill, as well as the beaded curtain wall waterfall. With frequent rains in Hangzhou during this time, the clarity of the streams remains unchanged. Walking in the park, especially on rainy days, the refreshing pleasure is still omnipresent. Additionally, the park also features the seasonal roses, albeit in limited quantity, mainly located in the creative market area of the flower exhibition, which is the fine tulip planting area. These are tall rose bushes with few flowers, predominantly red in color. If you wish to see more roses, I personally recommend visiting Guozhuang and Hangzhou Nursery, which are about a 15-minute bike ride from Taiziwan, approximately 2.6 kilometers away. The second Hangzhou Rose Exhibition of 2024 is currently being held there. A friendly reminder: during holidays and weekends, the bus stop at the entrance of Taiziwan does not serve passengers. To reach the park by bus, you can alight at 'Chishanbu', 'Yuhuwan', or 'Jingcisi' and walk a short distance. The park is not very large, and it takes about 1 hour to stroll around. The most scenic spots are Wangshanping to the east and Xiaoyaopo to the west. Additionally, the park does not require an entrance fee and is open all day.
