Chongqing Garden Expo Park is now free of charge! Come and enjoy for free!
Chongqing Garden Expo Park is the venue for the 8th China (Chongqing) International Garden Expo, which is super large, covering a total area of 3,300 mu, and cannot be fully explored in one day.
Before, admission to the Garden Expo Park required a ticket, but now it's free!
Chongqing Garden Expo Park has 4 major functional areas, 5 distinctive buildings, 127 urban exhibition gardens, and over 12 million plants of more than 660 species. In the park, you can experience the feeling of traveling around the world, hahaha.
Enter from the main entrance of the Garden Expo Park - Tongxin Circle - Longjing Academy - Jiangnan Garden Wharf - Nanning Garden - Suzhou Garden - Shanghai Garden - cross the bridge to Zhuhai Garden (can exit from the west gate) - Sanya Garden - Migratory Bird Wetland Scenic Area - Chiang Mai Garden of Thailand - San Francisco Garden.
Just gave a rough idea, because it's really huge and suitable for family outings. You can treat it as a mountain hike or choose a park and go camping and have a picnic.
Inside the park, there is a free drinking water park. Please pay attention to find it. I got my drinking water at Chongyunta. There are also snacks sold outside the gate, and the overall atmosphere is very comfortable.
🗼Chongyun Tower
Tower is 51.6 meters high, with seven floors, it is the tallest single building in the park. Visitors can climb the tower to enjoy the panoramic view of the entire park.
📖Longjing Academy
The only academy building in the Garden Expo Park is located on the Longji Mountain by the Dragon View Lake in the middle of the park.
🏆National AAAA-level tourist attraction
⏰Time: 09:00-17:00 (No entry after 17:00)

A day trip to the Expo Garden
It's not in the region of Jiangnan, but it has its unique charm. Chongqing offers even better value for money. When the sunlight fills the Expo Garden, every corner looks so beautiful. And on rainy days, it exudes a gentle and peaceful atmosphere reminiscent of the water towns in Jiangnan. Taking a flat boat and leisurely cruising on the lake, the ticket is only 20 yuan, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of four stops. I highly recommend you to stay until the last stop, where the scenery will make you linger and forget to return. Then slowly head back, the beautiful views along the way unfold like a scroll, intoxicating those who see it. Here, I wish to stay for the whole day, to savor this tranquility and beauty.

If you want to enjoy some flowers in spring, head to Chongqing to play with flowers
Come to Chongqing to appreciate the flowers.
Life is so full of creativity; Chongqing people have turned flowers and gardening, such hot topics, into such an elegant trend, truly simple.
Some say that to appreciate flowers, one must also appreciate their fragrance.
When you come to Chongqing, be sure to enjoy the flowers. The landscape gardens and floral nurseries of each city🏙️ complement each other, making the trip worthwhile.
Currently, the tulips, magnolias, and cherry blossoms in the garden are in their final phase, while over 2000 peach trees in Bayu Garden and more than 20 varieties of begonias and roses🌹 in the Jiangnan garden area are blooming competitively.
Moreover, the Huicui Garden, known as 'the most beautiful garden road in Chongqing parks,' is stunningly presenting over 3000 pink peach blossoms.
The tulip's leaves are typically 3 to 5 in number, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate in shape, with a single large and bright flower borne at the top.
The purple-green leaves tinged with red are dotted with broken flowers, and the simple and clean grassland with fences reminds one of scenes from a movie.
Spring and summer have arrived, and the flowers are blooming.
We are all waiting for a true spring to come.
Thumbs up👍 for the free opening of the Chongqing Garden Expo Park.

Strolling in the spring, I didn't expect the cherry blossoms here to be in full bloom
The current Expo Garden is brimming with greenery and new buds. The Cherry Blossom Avenue near the Chongyun Tower stretches for 1.5 kilometers, where 2,000 Japanese late-blooming cherry trees have been planted, and they are now in full bloom.
🌸 Admission: Free
🌸 Transportation:
【Light Rail】Take the rail transit line 3 to the Expo Garden Station Exit 1, and walk for 5 minutes to arrive. Or take the rail transit line 5 to the Expo Center Station Exit 1, and walk for 1 minute to arrive.
【Self-driving】Navigate to the Expo Garden East Park parking lot.
🌸 Photo tips:
1️⃣ It is recommended to go on a sunny day for the best photos of the flowers and scenery, and be prepared for sun protection.
2️⃣ For cherry blossom photography, it is suggested to go after 4 PM, using the cherry blossoms as a foreground to shoot the Chongyun Tower.
3️⃣ Cherry Blossom Avenue can be reached by navigating to Lingyun Bridge (picture 8), and some cherry blossoms have already started to fall, so hurry if you want to take photos.
4️⃣ Near Cherry Blossom Avenue, places suitable for taking ancient-style photos include the Tianjin Garden (picture 18) and Suzhou Garden (pictures 10, 11). If you don't go to Cherry Blossom Avenue, there are also a few cherry trees near the Expo Garden East Gate that are good for photography.
🌸 Recreation tips:
1️⃣ The Expo Garden is very large, it is recommended to buy a ticket for the electric tour car directly upon entering, 15 yuan per person, which allows you to get off at major attractions, and the tour car operates from 9:00 to 17:00. You can also choose to take a boat at the dock.
2️⃣ If you prefer to walk, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and travel light.
3️⃣ There are shops and vending machines inside the garden, which are a bit more expensive than outside, so it is advised to bring your own water and food.
4️⃣ Chongyun Tower (pictures 6, 7) is the only tower-style building in the garden, with a height of 51.6 meters and seven floors, from which you can climb and overlook the entire garden. However, it is currently under renovation and not open to the public, so those who want to visit should take note not to make a wasted trip!
Take half a day to come here and enjoy the splendid flowers, and walk along this 'most beautiful cherry blossom road'!

Many people from Chongqing have never visited this park, but it's incredibly beautiful
It's not clickbait, I asked many friends from Chongqing
Everyone has heard of the Expo Garden, but hardly anyone has visited
Reasons: 1. It's too far 2. The park isn't very entertaining 3. It's a place where elderly people often go
But in reality, the Expo Garden shouldn't be labeled with these tags🏷️
-
🚗In terms of transportation:
Line 5 and Line 3 both go directly there, and there's parking available, making transportation much more convenient than before
🎮In terms of entertainment:
There are so many picturesque spots, recently the ginkgo forest in the park has turned yellow, and the maple trees have turned red, the scenery is very beautiful, there's also a large artificial lake, and it replicates architectural styles from all over the world (personally, I think it's more beautiful than the so-called xx Window of the World, and the area is larger)
👫Suitable for:
The park is very large, if you want to walk through the whole park, it would take at least a whole day, it's away from the crowds, suitable for couples~ and those who love to take photos. I used to frequently take pictures there of some nice items and outfits, there are really a lot of different scenes

If you don't go now, you'll have to wait another year for the spring tulip bloom
The best spots for tulip photography in Chongqing are generally three places:
Chongqing Garden Expo, Chongqing Zoo, and Taishi Ya Forest Park.
This set was taken at 📍Chongqing Garden Expo.
Go straight along the road to the right of the main entrance, and you'll reach the Wetland Flower Valley.
Pros: The park is 🆓, take the light rail to the east gate, and a one-stop bus ride will take you directly there. The park is very large, and you can also take pictures of other scenes~
Cons: The tulips are a bit sparse, and the ground isn't covered with grass, so you need to find angles for photography.
Solution: Shoot from a low angle + shoot from a high angle + close-ups hehe 😅

Chongqing Garden Expo Park | A place where Running Man has passed
Covering an area of about 3300 acres, it brings together many domestic and foreign garden cultures and gardening skills. The Garden Expo Park includes a number of exhibition areas such as Jiangnan Garden, Western Garden, and famous attractions such as Chongyun Tower, Longjing Academy, Lingyun Bridge, etc.;
Bayu Garden, Beijing Garden Sanya Garden, etc., almost every garden area is very beautiful and photogenic
Photography:
Recommended not to miss Chongyun Tower
(I personally think it is one of the core landscapes of the garden area);
Lingyun Bridge
(One of the recording locations of the 'Running Man' show, and also Tianjin Garden, etc.);
Bayu Garden
(The stilted building design, similar to Hongyadong, it is recommended to shoot from the opposite side of the lake!)
📝Note tips:
①Choose a good weather day to come, pay attention to sun protection;
②The garden area is very large, if you can't walk, you can take a bus or boat in the scenic area;
③No need to stroll around the garden area with all your strength, you probably can't finish it without five or six hours, just go straight to the attractions you like to take pictures

The winter Garden Expo Park resembles an ink painting of Jiangnan garden
The Jiangnan garden area of Chongqing Garden Expo Park is my favorite place to visit in the park, which is generally built based on the model of Jiangnan garden. I happened to encounter a rainy day when I went there this weekend, which had a unique flavor.

Seeking the colors of autumn, the small forest in the Expo Garden
Here is the improved text:
Have you noticed this forest and grassland in the Expo Garden? When the sun sets, the light and shadow here are very beautiful. You can bring a book and a pot of water, and sit here for an afternoon.
Location: Chongqing Expo Garden
Transportation:
①Public transportation: Take Line 3 to the Expo Garden Station, and then transfer to the bus at the Expo Garden Station to the Expo Garden Main Gate Station (you can also walk, but the walking distance is a bit far).
②Self-driving: Navigate to the "Main Entrance of Chongqing Expo Garden", there are parking spaces in the park.
Photography guide:
①This location is one hundred meters to the right of the main gate, it is recommended to go after 5 pm.
②You can bring some props, such as books or flower baskets, and take random shots in the light and shadow.
③The steps next to the grassland are also suitable for taking pictures. This place is suitable for taking fresh photos. The Expo Garden is still very green in early autumn. When it gets deeper into autumn, I believe there will be a different scenery.

Chongqing is a suitable place for one to wander around when bored 4/100
These days, the ginkgo trees in Chongqing have turned yellow everywhere, and you can go and see when you are bored. There are several rows of ginkgo trees at the main entrance of the Expo Garden, and there are various gardens in the park to visit, which is a good place to bask in the sun and daze.

This is Chongqing Garden Expo Park. It's very big here. Friends who like nature must come. There are different flowers in every season. If you want to come, you must bring enough clothes. It's cold here. Remember to bring food. It's not convenient to sell in it
