No need to go to Suzhou, Shanghai also has ancient windows and plum blossoms.

👍 Qu Shui Yuan Garden in Qingpu is perfect, except for the distance. 🌸 The plum blossoms are blooming recently. If it weren't for the distance, it would be crowded with a billion people... ➡️ Qu Shui Yuan Garden, built in the Qing Dynasty, is one of the five classical gardens in Shanghai. Its pavilions, terraces, and towers exude Chinese aesthetics, which are further enhanced by the plum blossoms. 📍Plum Blossom Locations: 🌸 There is a white plum tree just inside the entrance on the right-hand side, already in full bloom. 🌸 The small courtyard on the right-hand side is the main area for plum blossoms, 70-80% in bloom, totally awesome. 🌸 Further inside, the plum blossoms are not in clusters but scattered, complementing the window views, white walls, and black tiles, creating the unique beauty of a Chinese garden. 🌺 In addition to plum blossoms, there are also wintersweet and camellia flowers in their final bloom, which are also a pleasant surprise. ✏️ Practical Information: 🚇 Transportation: Subway Line 17 to Qingpu Xincheng Station, then transfer to a bus or cycle about 2 km. 💯 Free 🍜 Surroundings: Next to Qingpu City God Temple, surrounded by a mature commercial street with plenty of food and drink options. 💡 Tips: The outer area of the park is currently under renovation, and some scaffolding may affect photo composition. 📆 Photographed on: Feb 23, 2025 🌸 Bloom status: 60-70% in bloom Qu Shui Yuan Garden
