This scenic spot in Hangzhou in spring is quite something, with a garden full of flowers and it’s free!
Before we know it, spring in Hangzhou is almost over. In this short but beautiful spring, all kinds of flowers are making their debut. Your tulips are in full bloom, and my late cherry blossoms are as beautiful as a painting; your azaleas are blooming all over the mountain, and my hydrangeas are fragrant throughout the garden. It is full of romance!
Especially the wisteria flowers in Huagang, Huajiachi and Yuhang Wisteria Avenue are in full bloom. The deep and light purple colors, with a faint fragrance, merge into one, like a curtain of dreams, which is even more unforgettable!
So the question is, now that it’s the end of spring in Hangzhou, where should we go for a leisurely stroll? Preferably free? Uncle Cricket recommends that everyone visit a unique attraction in Hangzhou, which is close to the West Lake and full of flowers but is free. Do you want to check it out?
The Hangzhou Flower Garden is located west of Yanggong Dike on the west bank of West Lake and east of Huangniling south of Hongchun Bridge. Seen from the air, the Hangzhou Flower Garden faces West Lake in front and is backed by Western Hills. It has a beautiful environment and exquisite layout, like "a pearl on the bank of West Lake".
After arriving at the park, the breath of nature is unforgettable. The oversized hydrangeas, the classical garden architecture, the pool in the garden, the potted waterfall, and the huge fountain square are all amazing. The key is that there are few people and the scenery is beautiful, which is suitable for walking and strolling!

Dejing Garden, the birthplace of Zhejiang bonsai, was built in 1958. It is a simple and restrained Chinese-style building with an elegant temperament. After five generations of inheritance and development, Dejing Garden has become the most representative specialized bonsai garden of Zhejiang bonsai.
