[2025 Wuxi ] Travel Guide for Youhao Park (South Gate) (Updated May)

#cherryblossom25 Cherry Blossom Park—Youhao Garden near Taihu Square is now blooming and offers a peaceful, free alternative for cherry blossom viewing! . Youhao Garden is located south of Taihu Square, along the eastern bank of the Grand Canal. It was built in 1990 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Wuxi and Sagamihara, Japan, which was established in 1985. Designed by Li Zheng, a renowned garden artist from the Jiangnan region, the garden was completed in 1992. The garden showcases a Japanese flat-style courtyard, complete with a delicate layout, traditional pagoda, and serene landscaping that blends Japanese aesthetics with Suzhou-style elegance. Right next to it lies the Youhao Cherry Blossom Forest, an open-access park filled with Somei Yoshino cherry trees. 🚇 Transportation: - Metro Line 1 to Qingmingqiao Station - Bus Route 67 to Taihu Square (Qingnian Road)

Locals can't squeeze into Yuantouzhu Then we can go somewhere else to see the cherry blossoms. 3.31 China-Japan Friendship Park Live Small park with good environment and beautiful scenery You can also enjoy cherry blossoms. There is also a Yantu Cafe where you can drink coffee. A very good niche treasure place recommended to everyone But I don't know if it was affected by the strong wind last night. The cherry blossoms don't seem to be very dense, but there are fewer people. You can still take great photos if you find the right angle~

❤️Recommended reason: I wanted to see the Wuxi night view last night, so I happily went there. As a result, because I was delayed in Xiaolou Lane, it was already closed when I arrived. But the Chaihu Tower under the night sky and the cherry blossom forest next to it deeply shocked me. So I decided to get up early in the morning and go there again before catching the high-speed train. It's really, really beautiful. It's a completely different style from the Turtle Head Isle. Youhaoyuan Garden is a courtyard that combines Chinese and Japanese styles, quiet with few people and beautiful scenery. Next to Youhaoyuan Garden is a large green field like the one at the University of Washington, with a cherry blossom forest that has mostly Somei Yoshino cherry trees, which are in full bloom. I strongly recommend this niche spot for cherry blossom viewing in Wuxi. It's not only free but also very conveniently located in the city center~ 📍Detailed address: Taxi location: Youhaoyuan - Northeast gate Subway to Taihu Square, a ten-minute walk 🕙Business hours: Opening hours: 08:00-21:00 (Cherry blossom forest 24h) Wuxi·Jiangsu
