Check out this guide to the Zhongshan Park Chrysanthemum Exhibition!
🎈If you can't make it on weekdays, I've already checked out the Xiamen Zhongshan Park Chrysanthemum Exhibition for you!
This time, the chrysanthemum exhibition is in the Flower Exhibition Hall. Please note that the Flower Exhibition Hall is closed at noon, so don't make a wasted trip. The opening hours are 8:30–11:45 and 14:30–17:15.
This exhibition features over 200 types of chrysanthemums and is expected to last until mid-November. I took these photos on the afternoon of November 1, when the temperature in Xiamen was as high as 30°C, and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. If you want to see the flowers, plan your trip early, as the flowers won't wait for you. There are also some science boards about chrysanthemums on site, so if you're interested in chrysanthemums, you can learn a lot while enjoying the flowers. The chrysanthemum exhibition is free to visit, and no tickets are required.

Xiamen Zhongshan Park: A Green Treasure in the City
🎉Whenever Xiamen is mentioned, people always think of popular attractions like Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University. But today, I want to take you to a low-key yet storied place—Xiamen Zhongshan Park.🌿
🌸As soon as you step into the park, it feels as if the whole world has quieted down. Everywhere you look, there are lush trees and flowers gently swaying in the breeze. That tranquility, that comfort, seems to make one forget the hustle and bustle of the city and find inner peace.🍃
📸Strolling along the path, you'll discover many hidden photography spots. Ancient pavilions, winding lakeshores, and the reflections in the lake—each spot is like a beautiful painting.🖼️
🍵The park's teahouse is also a place not to be missed. Order a pot of tea, sit by the window, and enjoy the view outside, savoring the rare leisure time. It's as if time slows down at this moment.🍵
🎈This is not just a park, but also a place that carries the history and culture of Xiamen. It is said that many significant historical events have been witnessed here. Walking through it, it's as if you can hear the echoes of history.🏛️
🌈If you're someone who enjoys outdoor activities, then Zhongshan Park is your paradise. In the morning, you can come here for a jog or to practice Tai Chi; in the evening, you can bring your family for a walk or to fly kites. No matter who you are, you can find your joy here.🏃
💡Lastly, I want to say that Xiamen Zhongshan Park is not just a tourist attraction, but also a place where you can slow down and feel life. If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend that you come and experience its charm.💖

Tokyo is not the only city with a charming night, the nights in Xiamen are also very romantic
Zhongshan Park, the forever charming Xi'an Road is the little street I always stroll along after work.
You can enjoy a slightly tipsy drink at the stalls that open early and close late.
There's also the joy of brewing tea around a stove.
Watching the street scenes and lights at each spot.
They soothe the soul that's been worn down by sales during the day.
May you have sweet dreams😘

Visiting the park is the proper thing to do
There is no private parking lot
It is recommended to take the subway or a taxi
The South Gate is right outside the Zhongshan Park subway station
There is no admission fee🎫 and no access control, but there are no places to eat or drink inside
You still need to bring your own water and beverages
It is right next to the children's library
Across the door is another classic Western-style building in Xiamen
It is also a recommended spot for travel photography and check-ins
This park is also a frequent spot for community events
Around two or three in the afternoon on weekends
You will see a peculiar scene of elderly people exercising, singing, dancing, and children playing
It has a very lively atmosphere, something I always thought only happened during morning exercises
The overall directions within the park are quite clear
From the South Gate straight ahead, it can be roughly divided into three areas
In the middle of the large lawn is a stone statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen
Nearby are some common flowers
Violets, camellias, gesang flowers, etc.
In the astonishing matchmaking area of Zhongshan Park
There are also peach or cherry blossoms
The second area is demarcated by a pond
The water lilies have quietly bloomed
Following the short bridge over the water, you can reach the flower exhibition hall
Inside there is a fine display area of root carving works
The entire campus presents the posture of rockeries and flowing water typical of Jiangnan gardens
But the azaleas still occupy the central spot
Each one represents the mood of looking at life lightly amidst a sea of flowers
The bonsai pine trees are also a classic cultural landscape of this area
Turning around, the third area outside the park is completely subtropical
Tall royal palms reaching into the clouds
Sitting by the lake, enjoying the refreshing breeze
Choosing this season for travel
Is not hot at all and allows one to fully appreciate the spring scenery
Walking to the end near the monument
Next to it is the entrance to the zoo
This spot is also convenient for hailing a taxi
If you still have the energy to continue shopping
Opposite is Baijia Village
A community with renovated old houses and a more complete set of dining options

Warm & romantic winter
During the Spring Festival, at Exit 4 of Zhongshan Park subway station, there are several flourishing golden acacias. When I went to shoot in the morning of the second day of the first lunar month (this time mainly for shooting videos), I met many tourists visiting Xiamen. They took the subway to the botanical garden and were attracted by the golden flowers when they came out from Exit 4. They took photos here and kept praising the beauty of Xiamen in winter🌹
After shooting the golden acacia flowers, crossing the zebra crossing, I came to Baijiacun. The pocket park at the entrance, Lianxin Garden, is the finishing touch of urban organic renewal.
The villa at No. 42, Shentian Road, originally belonged to Huang Zhencheng, a Filipino Chinese (it is said to be Ke Qingyuan), and was built in the 1930s. During the fall of Xiamen, the Japanese invaders occupied the villa and set up their highest authority in Xiamen, the 'Xingya Institute Xiamen Liaison Department', here. It has also been the old site of the Xiamen District Court of the Republic of China and the Xiamen Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. But what's special about this building is not just its background, but its architectural style is unique in Xiamen.
The architecture of Baijiacun is very diverse, with Western-style villas left by overseas Chinese everywhere, with various styles, standing in the streets with a local flavor. Walking in Baijiacun, you can also experience the unique charm of the collision of Chinese and Western cultures.
🗓Itinerary: Exit 4 of Zhongshan Park Station on Subway Line 1, shoot golden acacia flowers (the old villa at the exit is under renovation), cross the zebra crossing to Baijiacun——Botanical Garden——Zhongshan Park——Zhongshan Road
⏳Play time: one day
🌟Highlights: Golden Acacia, old villas
👍Most recommended: Old villas, feel the local flavor
📍Detailed address: Zhongshan Park subway station

Since the completion of the park, many large-scale political gatherings have been held in this park.

However, after many historical events, the construction of Xiamen Zhongshan Park has also experienced destruction and renewal in different periods.
The park is surrounded by mountains, surrounded by short walls, and has four distinctive gates from east to west. The South Gate is a three-legged three-legged granite building with a height of 15 meters and a width of 20 meters. It is magnificent. In 1985, a bronze statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen was erected at Nanmen Square. The east gate and the west gate are all archway-style buildings. The entrance to the east gate has the monument of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, which is 20 meters high and has the four characters of the world is the public. The upper part of the north gate is the Western European Arc de Triomphe, and the lower half is the Ming Dynasty gate-style, which is a combination of Chinese and Western architecture.
