Wuhan's East Lake Plum Garden—The Ultimate Plum Blossom Viewing Experience

East Lake Plum Garden (Wuhan East Lake Moshan Plum Garden) is not only the home of the China Plum Research Center and the China Plum Culture Museum, but also a nationally renowned and globally recognized plum blossom viewing spot. Located at the southern foot of Moshan Scenic Area in Wuhan's East Lake Scenic Area, Hubei Province, the garden is surrounded by water on three sides, with a multi-layered layout that forms a world of its own. Lush pines and elegant bamboos encircle the garden, naturally creating a "Three Friends of Winter" landscape, making it one of China's premier plum gardens. The scenery here is picturesque, with verdant hills and clear waters. In early spring, plum blossoms bloom in abundance, creating a tapestry of colors and filling the air with their delicate fragrance. Visitors from both home and abroad flock here to appreciate, compose poems about, paint, and photograph the plum blossoms. The garden covers a large area and boasts a wide variety of plum blossoms, notably the Dragon Plum, Waterfall Plum, and Beauty Plum (cultivated by the French), as well as varieties introduced from the United States, such as Multi-petal Jade Butterfly, Snow Sea Palace Pink, and Golden Green Calyx. The Ten Scenic Spots of East Lake Plum Garden include: Ultimate Plum Blossom View, Ancient Plum Garden, Cold Beauty Pavilion, Plum and Snow Competing in Spring, Three Friends of Winter, Bronze Statue of Plum Friends, Fangxi Stream, One Spring Branch Hall, China Plum Culture Museum, Crane Releasing Pavilion, Pillow Fragrance Pavilion, Cherishing Red Bridge, and Predestined Relationship. With plum blossoms in full bloom at East Lake, spring fills the city of Wuhan. Visitors come to appreciate, savor, welcome, and celebrate the spring season. The garden landscape of East Lake Plum Garden can be described as "naturally unadorned." Its location, nestled between mountains and water, is uniquely advantageous. Within the garden, visitors can enjoy the vast expanse of East Lake, dotted with water birds, as well as the mountain scenery of Moshan, featuring the towering Chutian Terrace and Zhubei Pavilion. The East Lake Plum Blossom Festival, with its rich plum culture activities, attracts a large number of tourists from both within and outside the province to admire the plum blossoms.
