Wuxi | Go to Yuantouzhu for a spring date, cherry blossoms are in full bloom

| Go to Yuantouzhu for a spring date, where cherry blossoms are in full bloom. 📍Detailed address: Wuxi Yuantouzhu ⭐️Cherry Blossom Valley, Changchun Bridge, Cherry Blossom Viewing ⏳Play time: The flowering period of Yuantouzhu is generally from late March to early April every year. I saw the flower status updates posted by my friend recently. Many flowers have withered in the past two days. 📸As a solo scenic lover, I went out at 6 o'clock. It was a cloudy day and there were many people around. I was not very interested, so I didn't take too many photos. I just took some simple photos with a telephoto lens throughout the whole process. 📒Sharing of travel experiences may not be authoritative, but it can serve as a reference for those who are traveling for the first time. Before going, I was concerned about whether there would be traffic congestion and how to avoid the crowds and take photos of the scenery without people. 1️⃣ About how to get to the scenic spot The Yuantouzhu Scenic Area is relatively large and has two entrances. 📍Chongshan Gate📍Dushan Gate The Dushan Gate is relatively close to the Sakura Valley and Changchun Bridge, which is a good choice for those who want to get up early to take pictures. Moreover, during peak hours, there seems to be serious traffic jam at the Chongshan gate. 🚉Transportation strategy: It is not clear at ordinary times, but during the cherry blossom season, when the flow of people is at a peak, the scenic area has a special shuttle bus from Meiyuan subway station to Dushan Gate, which costs 5 yuan per person. It is a dedicated bus line so there is no need to worry about traffic jams. 🚲Another way is to ride a bike, a shared bike or an electric bike, and you don’t have to get stuck in traffic. I chose the Dushan Gate. I rode my bike to the Dushan Gate at 6 o'clock in the morning and arrived at around 6:30. I could enter the scenic area directly (the scenic area opens at 6:30 in the morning during peak hours). There was no congestion at all throughout the journey, and it was very smooth. 2️⃣About taking scenic photos while avoiding crowds From this experience, if you want to take pictures quietly and comfortably, you can only stay in the scenic area the day before. Or I don’t know if there is a way to enter the scenic area in advance or stay overnight in the scenic area? (I'm new here, so I'm not very clear There are hotels in the scenic area, including Sakura Villa and Wuxi Yuantouzhu Taigong Sanatorium. I heard that reservations must be made very early in advance. I am not sure about the details, I will share them next time when I have the chance to learn more. In addition to the above, even if the first batch of people entering the park on June 30th go directly to Changchun Bridge or Sakura Valley, there will still be people, and the flow of people will gradually increase after a while of taking pictures.
