📍 Hidden cherry blossom viewing spot in Shanghai | Directly accessible by subway, beautiful scenery and few people!

Every spring, Shanghai’s cherry blossom season is always crowded with people. Chenshan Botanical Garden and Gucun Park are both popular spots, but this year I discovered a hidden cherry blossom viewing spot that 99% of people have never been to - the World Flower Garden and Zen Garden! 🌸 The location is in downtown Shanghai, with direct access by subway. The key points are: free, no reservation required, few people and beautiful scenery! 📍 World Flower Garden·Zen Garden | A secret place for cherry blossom viewing in downtown Shanghai 📍 Address: World Flower Garden·Zen Garden (inside Expo Cultural Park) 🚇 Transportation: Take Metro Line 7 and get off at Exit 1 of Houtan Station 🎫 Tickets: Free, no reservation or tickets required 📷 Filming date: March 13 🚗 Parking: Near P5 parking lot Although the number of cherry blossoms here is not as much as that in Gucun, it is especially suitable for people who like to enjoy cherry blossoms quietly because of the small number of people and quiet environment. There are also rockery waterfalls, flowing water, ponds and pavilions in the park, which are full of Zen atmosphere and look beautiful in any photo. If you don't want to go to the crowded popular attractions, this is definitely worth a visit! 🎯 Recommended Cherry Blossom Viewing Time & Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 🔹 Best time to view cherry blossoms: Go in the morning or on weekdays when there are fewer people and the light is good, making for better photos! 🔹 Avoid the crowds: Although there aren’t many people here, if you want to take photos of cherry blossoms without people, it’s recommended to go in the morning. 🔹 Visit more places along the way: cherry blossom viewing + park stroll + flower garden + Expo Cultural Park area, making the itinerary more enriched. This is really the most surprising cherry blossom viewing spot I found this year. You can see such beautiful cherry blossoms for free in downtown Shanghai. It is less crowded and comfortable. It is totally worth a visit! If you also want to avoid the crowds and quietly experience the romance of spring, remember to come and see it during the flowering season~ #ShanghaiCherryBlossom
