[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Shanghai Botanical Garden (Updated May)

Shanghai Botanical Garden doesn't have many early cherry blossoms, but this one is divine. Near the lake, it exudes a rare sense of tranquility and peace, totally my style! Walk a little further along the lake, and you'll find another one that should be taller, but unfortunately, I was a bit late this year and it had already started to shed its blossoms. Early cherry blossoms are relatively scarce in the botanical garden as a whole, but you can look forward to the mid-season Tokyo cherry blossoms, which will be in full bloom at the end of March. The bridalwreath spiraea is also in full bloom, cascading like a beautiful waterfall! This is a park that locals often visit, and it's truly wonderful. - 📍Shanghai Botanical Garden Gate 3

Shanghai roses are in full bloom from mid-to-late April to early May.

Strolling through them is like being in a sea of flowers, and the rich floral fragrance is intoxicating.

Walking through the Shanghai Botanical Garden was a serene and unforgettable experience. The garden, lush and full of life, offered a welcome escape from the city's energy. Paths lined with blooming cherry blossoms, peonies, camellias, and roses led me through a vibrant world of color and fragrance. The most breathtaking part was the orchid greenhouse. Stepping inside felt like entering a tropical dream 💕🩷. The air was warm and rich with floral scent. Phalaenopsis orchids floated like butterflies, while Cattleyas gleamed in shades of purple and gold. Vandas hung in mid-air, their roots dancing in the mist. The sheer variety and beauty of the orchids was mesmerizing. That quiet, flower-filled space left a deep impression, calm, colorful, and filled with nature’s quiet magic ✨. It’s a memory I’ll hold onto for a long time 💗. #garden #flowerlover #shanghai #shanghaitrip

The cherry trees are found in a few concentrated sections, each showcasing different varieties and blooming stages. It was fascinating to see the contrasts — from fluffy pink double-petaled sakura to delicate white wild types. The garden’s layout is peaceful, with winding paths, ponds, and rock gardens that give a more intimate feel than larger parks. I even joined a free flower-themed calligraphy session they were offering in the garden courtyard. A serene and educational cherry blossom escape.

The 20-minute effect eases the pressure of bringing a baby 🍐 and it's low-cost: free entry to the park, greenhouse tickets 🎫 30 yuan/person (free for babies under 90cm 🍼, discounts for seniors over 60). You can see four greenhouses in total, and the whole journey is stroller-friendly. There are few commercial facilities in the park, suitable for those who purely love nature 🌿 ⛲️The south area is the old botanical garden, with more seniors; the north area is newly built, with small children's play facilities, and the road conditions are also suitable for strolling with babies. The cherry blossoms are also in bloom 🌸 ⏰Went on Thursday afternoon, not many people on a working day 🌴Greenhouse Experience: Greenhouse 1 (South Area) ✔️The largest greenhouse, decorated with many Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium orchids, with many child-friendly and cute decorations. More artificial traces. Greenhouse 2 (South Area, behind Greenhouse 1) ✔️Mainly cacti 🌵, orchids, and cacti. The cacti and succulents are quite interesting. Greenhouses 3 & 4 (North Area) ✔️These two are relatively small and can be visited quickly. One is for mountain mosses and other plants, with a wild and interesting style. 👀Suggestions for the park ▫️There are not many places to buy drinks. The sleepy mother could only get a robot-made coffee 🤖 at the entrance of Greenhouse 4. 🍃Updated Route: 13:30 Enter the south area/explore the greenhouse → 15:00 Arrive at the north area → 15:30 Stroll through the two greenhouses in the north area → 16:00 Play at the children's play area and go home 👩💕Realization from a mother: I used to think that the botanical garden was a place for the elderly, but now I love it! A 30-yuan greenhouse ticket is more worthwhile than an early childhood education class—when the baby looks around and gently touches the leaves🍃, I suddenly realize that the best nature education is in the park~

#travelinginchina Beautiful garden with frequent exhibitions and always something different in season/bloom. The indoor conservatories are fantastic and a favourite of the kids.

Shanghai in spring is a colorful picture. Here's an introduction from the perspectives of natural scenery, special food, and cultural activities: Natural Scenery - A Sea of Flowers: Spring in Shanghai is a sea of flowers. White magnolia, the city flower, is the first to bloom in the streets and alleys, with flowers appearing before the leaves. Afterward, cherry blossoms bloom, creating a pink cloud-like scene in places like Gucun Park, Chenshan Botanical Garden, and Shanghai Botanical Garden. In addition, the tulips on the Bund and at the Oriental Fisherman's Wharf are colorful; the February orchids in Shanghai Botanical Garden and Gongqing Forest Park have dreamy blue-purple petals; the weeping plum blossoms in Guyi Garden and Binjiang Forest Park are charming and lovely; and the purple leaf plums in Shanghai Botanical Garden and Guyi Garden are covered in silvery white blossoms, competing with the cherry blossoms for spring's attention. - Lush Greenery: In spring, Shanghai is full of lush vegetation. New buds sprout on the branches of the plane trees in the old city, and the trees along the roads put on new green coats, adding vitality to the city. Special Food - Qingtuan: This is a signature food of spring in Shanghai. Qingtuan from time-honored brands like Shen Da Cheng are very popular, with fillings such as red bean paste, salted egg yolk, and pork floss. Made with wheatgrass juice, qingtuan has a green color and a soft, glutinous texture. - Yan Du Xian: This is a slow-cooked soup made with spring bamboo shoots, fresh pork, and salted pork. With a rich broth and tender bamboo shoots, it's a classic dish on Shanghainese tables in spring. - Shepherd's Purse Dishes: Shepherd's purse can be made into dishes like stir-fried shepherd's purse with rice cakes, shepherd's purse wontons, and shepherd's purse tofu soup, bringing the taste of spring to your palate. Cultural Activities - Cherry Blossom Viewing Activities: For example, the "Cherry Blossom" media event live streams the blooming of cherry blossoms from 12 locations, including Shanghai Botanical Garden in Xuhui, the Gao Dong Cherry Blossom Festival in Pudong, and the Qinjian Spring Garden in Huangpu. - Park Theme Activities: Chenshan Botanical Garden will hold the "Cherry Blossom Dance, Flowers in Full Bloom" cherry blossom viewing activity; Guangfulin Cultural Site will hold the "Spring Warmth in Fulin, Enjoy the Cherry Blossoms" cherry blossom season event, featuring Hanfu parades and cherry blossom-themed markets. - Exhibitions and Performances: Major cultural venues will launch new exhibitions, such as the "Belt and Road" Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition at Shanghai Great World, the "Chasing Light - A Tribute to Every Breakthrough" special exhibition at Baoku Jiangxin Museum, and events like the Sinan Book Club and fashion art gatherings at Sinan Mansions. City Atmosphere - "No Sweeping" Road Sections: Shanghai has designated five "no sweeping" road sections, including Xinyue Road and Yongle Road, totaling 3,300 meters in length. Cleaning staff adopt a refined operation mode, allowing the fallen flowers to create a more artistic landscape, so that busy commuters can enjoy the shower of petals on their way to work. - Spring Outing Crowds: According to Shanghai tourism big data monitoring, Shanghai will welcome a large number of tourists during the Qingming Festival holiday. People are eager to embrace spring, and the scenic spots are bustling with crowds, filled with vitality.

After the cold winter, plum blossoms bloom in the Century Park and Gucun Park, attracting many visitors. The plum garden in the botanical garden is not large, but there are many varieties of plum blossoms. The blooming plum blossoms attract many bees to collect nectar, and also attract many tourists to stop and admire them. Most plum trees have tags, so we can easily identify the varieties. The blooming time of different plum blossoms is slightly different. I originally thought it was related to the time of day and sunshine, but the plum blossoms in the botanical garden are not shaded, so the blooming time may be different for different varieties. The flowers are fragrant and beautiful, white as snow, pink as clouds, green calyx, and bright red plum blossoms... each with its own characteristics.
