[2024 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Chenshan Botanical Garden (Updated Oct)

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden: Magnolia and Cherry Blossom Festival

I visited Shanghai's Chenshan Botanical Garden in March, where a row of magnolia trees was planted right at the entrance. It was the blooming season, and the flowers complemented the river's bay scenery beautifully! The first thing I saw upon entering the garden was a relatively short cherry blossom tree, which allowed for close-up photos with the cherry blossoms without the need for a ladder📷. We could spend nearly an hour admiring just one cherry blossom tree, and it was hard to leave! Garden Transportation: There are golf carts available in the park for only 5 yuan per person Passengers must get off at the terminal stations (A, B). The route arrangements are as follows: A line: Starting from Gate 1 Comprehensive Building — Children's Botanical Garden Station — Quarry Garden Station — Rock Garden Station — Exhibition Greenhouse Terminal Station B line: Exhibition Greenhouse Station — East China Area Garden Station — Aquatic Plant Garden Station — Gate 1 Comprehensive Building Terminal Station.

Shanghai Cherry Blossom Spots: Must-Visit Chenshan Botanical Garden

Starting from the end of February, the cherry blossom avenue in Chenshan Botanical Garden begins to bloom, featuring varieties such as the cold-resistant cherry, Kawazu cherry, and Somei Yoshino cherry. Entering from Gate No.1 and turning right, there is a large area of cherry blossoms, with the early blooming pale pink blossoms being exceptionally beautiful. Whether at the entrance or walking further in, the place is crowded everywhere, making it difficult to find a cherry tree without people around. It is recommended to take close-up shots of the splendid cherry blossoms for particularly good photos. 🌟Ticket Price: 60RMB (very worthwhile) Subway and Bus: 1. Take the Subway Line 9 to "Dongjing" station, exit from Exit 3, and then take the Songjiang No.19 bus from "Dongjing Subway Station" to "Chenshan Botanical Garden" stop for Gate No.1, or to "Chenta Road Shetiankun Highway (Chenshan Botanical Garden West Gate)" stop for Gate No.3. 2.

This weekend, experience the joy of having an entire Yoshino cherry blossom forest to yourself

🌈The most important thing in spring is, of course, cherry blossom viewing🌈 📍It's undeniable that at the end of March, the Chenshan Botanical Garden is the ultimate cherry blossom viewing spot in the magic city! 🔸In the morning, there are few people in the vast cherry blossom forest, and the blooming cherry blossoms are like pink clouds, filling the entire sky, a sight too beautiful for words😍. 🔸From mid to early March, different varieties of cherry blossoms begin to bloom one after another, with the most beautiful being the Yoshino cherry blossoms of Nakazakura. The cherry blossom season in the park lasts a long time, and by early April, you can generally see cherry blossoms at different stages of their bloom. 📸Photo tips: 👗Outfit: Light-colored clothes will make your photos stand out! Props: Avoid having empty hands, only doing the ✌️ sign? Remember to bring some photography props, such as balloons, cameras, books, straw bags, etc. 🤳Photo angles: You can take close-up shots when there are fewer people, and also capture large scenes. 🏷Note: 👉To avoid the peak of the crowds, it is recommended to enter the garden between 8 am and 9:30 am. During this time, there are fewer people, and you can capture the feeling of having the cherry blossom avenue all to yourself.

I would like to call it the cherry blossom ceiling of Shanghai - Chenshan Botanical Garden

Although there are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Shanghai, the cherry blossom forest in Chenshan Botanical Garden will definitely amaze you. The sloping lawn with the color-healing white cherry blossoms is full of the gentleness of spring, and such a movie-like scene is unique in Shanghai. Shooting location: Right side of Gate No.1 On the right hand side is the Cherry Blossom Avenue, which are all slopes with a certain degree of inclination, very 'Chenshan', and it is still a tool to avoid people when there are many people. Going inside, there is a cherry blossom station near the aquatic plant garden. There is also a small cherry blossom forest near the station, next to the park wall on the side of Chenhua Road. There are fewer people here, but the ground is relatively flat. Near Gate No.1, there is also a cement white wall where you can sit on it, and you are surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Picnic set up is recommended in this area as it’s calm and quiet with some locals flocking to pitch tents in the summer heat. Visit each flower area and finish off with a trip through the enclosed ‘tropical’ forest. #urbanexplorer #shanghai #summervacation #gardens

Beautiful and colorful patterns were created in the garden with eight varieties of tulips in red, pink, yellow, orange and other colors. The area was once a popular place for tourists to take pictures. 📍Tulips can also be found in the square outside Gate I, along the line from Gate I's battery station to the Children's Garden Station, along the main tour line's flower borders, and near the Bamboo Garden's flower border. #flowerlover #themepark

The "Sillow Water Lily World" Goddess 2019 Water Lily Exhibition is being held at the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. This year's Water Lily Exhibition has seven exhibition areas, and more than 300 varieties are on display, which is very worth seeing! In particular, this year's special feature is that the Botanical Garden's own innovative "Lyqin" purple water lily variety is very amazing. The yellow scattering flower buds and the thick flower stalks combine the charm of "Goddess" and "female man", which is one of the best. If you like Monet's water lily series, you can feel a high degree of reduction here, and a quiet world of water lily is enough to make people think. There are also many beautiful black swan in the lake, which brings a lot of vitality to the world of water lily. I suggest you not to watch the water lily too early or too late, because the opening of the water lily is more willful, too early and too late to appreciate its fully open state, it must be just right! If you missed this year's water lily exhibition, it doesn't matter. There are many other beautiful plants in the botanical garden for viewing. For example, the net red powder will soon mature, and the National Day can be considered to play in the botanical garden.

Can you eat the cacti in the Chenshan Botanical Garden?

🌿 In the northwest corner of the botanical garden, there is a delicate feature garden called the Mine Park, which was once an abandoned mining area and is now a garden within the Chenshan Botanical Garden. 🧩 I particularly like the cacti in the xerophytic plant museum there. Cactus is not the name of a single plant, but a general term for plants in the succulent cactus family. There are many different plants here, such as the dragon tree, crown of thorns, jade plant, golden barrel cactus, and many more, too numerous to count. 🧩 I heard that in the large family of succulent plants, aside from some toxic alkaloids, some parts of the cactus stems and leaves are edible. They can be eaten raw in salads, fried, or stir-fried, and can also be made into delicious drinks. 🧩 For those interested in cactus plants, you must go to the xerophytic plant museum at the Chenshan Botanical Garden to take a look. You will surely return with a lot of gains and have an eye-opening experience. 🌵 Garden Name: Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden 📍 Address: No. 3888 Chenhua Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai 🚇 Transportation: Songjiang 95/96 bus routes both reach 🅿️ Parking: 5 yuan/hour

I have finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door - Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden

May's gentle breeze brushes through the Songjiang District of Shanghai, and during the May Day mini-holiday, I chose not to travel far but to step into Songjiang with a love and curiosity for nature. Early May in Songjiang is an ocean of flowers, with several spots to enjoy nature's beauty, such as the Sea of Flowers Botanical Garden, Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, Songjiang Zuibai Pond, Songjiang Fangta Garden, and more. Today, let's talk about the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, this lush green haven.🌸🌳 What flowers are worth seeing in the Chenshan Botanical Garden in May? Based on my personal experience, the viewing areas can be divided into the following: Rose Garden—Chinese Roses & Roses 🌹 The blooming period of Chinese roses mainly occurs in May and October each year. The Rose Garden is located in the southern part of Chenshan Botanical Garden. After entering from Gate 1 and crossing the Rose Bridge, you can see the entrance. From a distance, it looks like you've entered a colorful fairy tale world. The flowers in the Rose Garden bloom competitively, red, yellow, pink... They intertwine with each other, forming a dazzling sea of flowers.🌺🌷 Water Lily Pond—Water Lilies 🌸💧 To the right of Gate 1 into the botanical garden, through the cherry blossom forest along the winding path, you can see the aquatic plant garden. From afar, you can see green lily pads floating on the water surface, with pink water lilies blooming on top. They lie quietly on the water, as if isolated from the surrounding world, focusing only on their own beauty and tranquility. I stand quietly by the pond, gazing at these blooming water lilies, feeling the peace and beauty they bring.💤🌊 Iris Garden—Iris 🌼🦋 Continuing along the path, you reach the Iris Garden. Since it was early and there were not many visitors, the gardeners were still tending to the flowers. The blue irises under the sunlight looked very charming. I strolled through the garden, stopping from time to time to capture these beautiful moments with my phone.📸💙 Besides these, you can also visit the Perennial Garden and the botanical garden's pond to see a sea of Allium flowers, the Osmanthus Garden to see small yellow flowers, and the Maple Garden to see peonies, among others. Chenshan Botanical Garden has countless beauties waiting for you to discover. I think this is the meaning of travel—to find a haven for our souls amidst our busy lives and to have a deep conversation with nature.🌍💖

The Hejin Cherry is a hybrid of the Oshima Cherry and Hanfei Cherry varieties, boasting pink flowers with five delicate petals. Its flowering season, from late February to early March, heralds the arrival of spring. When in full bloom, the Hejin Cherry trees present a stunning sight, their elegant shapes adorned with abundant pink blossoms, resembling a sea of honey-pink clouds drifting from afar, a sight truly mesmerizing and enchanting 🌸☁️. Records from Chenshan Botanical Garden indicate that this year's budding of the Hejin Cherry trees began around January 16, the earliest on record. By the time of the Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Dragon, the first flowers had bloomed, marking the beginning of this beautiful display of nature's artistry 🌸🐉. Visitors to Chenshan Botanical Garden during this season are treated to a spectacle of color and beauty, as the garden comes alive with the delicate charm of the Hejin Cherry blossoms. It's a reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature, and a moment to savor the fleeting beauty of spring 🌸🌿. #ChenshanBotanicalGarden #HejinCherryBlossoms #SpringSplendor #BotanicalWonders #ShanghaiGardens #NatureInBloom
