Yunlong Lake · Spring Returns to the Hills | Spring Flower Viewing Guide

| Your complete guide to spring flower viewing. Every year in mid-March, Hudong Road at Yunlong Lake, Xuzhou, puts on a visual feast—a flower viewing festival that attracts countless visitors. At this time, Yunlong Lake is alive with spring, as blossoms open on branches and petals flutter in the breeze, carpeting the lake surface in a romantic blanket of color. It's as if nature has gifted Xuzhou with a breathtaking painting. The main viewing spots for this flower festival are concentrated around Sugong Pagoda in Jinshan Park, a place of scenic beauty and rich history. Sugong Pagoda, an ancient structure bearing the marks of time, takes on an even greater charm when set against the backdrop of spring flowers. As you stroll along Hudong Road, admiring the vibrant blossoms and experiencing the perfect fusion of ancient architecture and natural landscapes, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time, engaging in a silent dialogue with history. Due to the large number of visitors coming to admire the flowers recently, traffic is expected to be heavy. To avoid congestion and ensure a smooth trip, we recommend using public transport or walking. Taking a bus along Hudong Road allows you to enjoy the spring scenery along the way, immersing yourself in the atmosphere of spring before even reaching your destination. Walking offers a different kind of pleasure. Along the walking path by Yunlong Lake, every step on the bluestone slabs brings you closer to the essence of spring. The weeping willows by the lake sway gently in the breeze, complementing the flowers on the shore to create a captivating spring scene.
