Sifang Art Museum | Beautiful scenery with few people!

Who says cherry blossom viewing has to be crowded? In Pukou District, Nanjing, there is a fairyland-like spot - the cherry blossom avenue of Sifang Art Museum. The hundred-meter cherry blossom corridor and the floating art museum make a perfect backdrop for stunning photos. --- 1️⃣ Cherry blossoms + architecture, breathtakingly beautiful The floating art museum, designed by American architect Steven Holl, features futuristic black and white tones and geometric lines. The cherry blossom avenue leads directly to the museum entrance. The pink and white petals contrast with the stark architecture, making you feel like you've stepped into a sci-fi movie. The interplay of light and shadow on sunny days and the hazy mist on rainy days create a picturesque scene from every angle. 2️⃣ Beautiful scenery with few people, avoid the crowds Compared to the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at Jiming Temple, there are few tourists here, especially on weekdays when you can almost have the entire cherry blossom road to yourself. Take a leisurely stroll, have a picnic on the lawn, and enjoy the unique tranquility of spring. 3️⃣ Art exhibitions + cultural and creative activities, plenty to do Besides cherry blossom viewing, the museum often hosts exhibitions by international artists (such as Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami), and the aerial gallery offers panoramic views of Nanjing. --- 📸 Photo tips ✅ Outfit suggestions: Light-colored long skirts, JK uniforms, or minimalist styles, paired with straw hats/transparent umbrellas, complement the architectural lines for better photos! ✅ Must-shoot spots: - Floating staircase: The museum's iconic hollowed-out staircase, with cherry blossoms and the sky as the background, instantly transforms you into a "skywalker." - Corner of the cherry blossom avenue: Use the curve of the road to frame your shot, letting the cherry blossoms surround the building for a layered effect. - View from the floor-to-ceiling windows: With the cherry blossom forest in the foreground, capture poetic silhouettes through the museum's huge glass windows. --- 🚗 Directions 📍 Address: No. 9 Zhenqi Road, Pukou District (near Pearl Spring Scenic Area) 🚌 Public transport: Take bus D58/694 to Pearl Spring Terminal, then walk for 20 minutes (the scenery along the way is also beautiful!) 🚗 By car: Navigate to Pearl Spring Park, follow the signs uphill for about 5 minutes, parking is convenient. 🎫 Tickets: 20 yuan (museum + park), no student ID discount. ⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-17:00 (closed on Mondays, don't go there on Mondays!) --- 🌸 Nearby attractions ✅ Pearl Spring Scenic Area: After enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can take a bamboo raft ride, climb the Great Wall, and experience the natural scenery. ✅ Camping at Foshou Lake: A 10-minute drive from the museum, enjoy a lakeside picnic on the lawn and watch the sunset for a perfect ending! (It's been very crowded lately, maybe not as good as the museum haha) --- 📌 Tips: ❗ Best flowering period: Late March to early April, the temperature will drop in a few days, so it is recommended to visit in the next couple of days! ❗ It is recommended to go in the morning, as the light is softer and there are fewer people. After 4 pm, taking photos of cherry blossoms against the light creates a dreamy effect! 🌸 Cherry blossoms are fleeting, but romance lasts forever. Come with your friends for a journey of art and spring!
