Dushu Lake Wild Cherry Blossoms – Suzhou’s Hidden Springtime Oasis

#cherryblossom25 Tucked away in Suzhou Industrial Park, the wild cherry blossoms at Dushu Lake Ecological Park are a well-kept secret among locals. Unlike cultivated Japanese sakura, these untamed mountain cherries (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea) grow freely along the lakeshore, blooming earlier (mid-March) with a wild, poetic charm. 📍 Location: Dushu Lake Ecological Park, SIP (near Moon Bay Metro Station). 🚇 Transport: Metro Line 2 to Moon Bay Station, Exit 3 (15-min walk). 🎫 Admission: Free. ⏰ Best Time: Sunrise–9 AM (soft light, fewer people).
