Shanghai's Futuristic Urban Sakura Oasis-1000 Trees

#cherryblossom25 This postmodern landmark on Suzhou Creek—a "floating forest" of 1,000 tree-topped concrete columns—transforms in spring when hundreds of potted sakura trees bloom across its terraces. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, it’s a surreal blend of brutalist botany and hanami tradition, with blossoms framing views of the city’s skyline. 📍 Location: 1000 Moganshan Road, Putuo District 🚇 Metro: Line 13 to Jiangning Road Station, Exit 4 (8-min walk) 🎫 Admission: Free (some events require tickets) ⏰ Best Times: - Weekday mornings: For quiet photography
