Cheery blossoms in Shandong

The ever-popular and beautiful sight of cherry trees blossoming can be experienced at Zhongshan park in Qingdao which is located in east China’s Shandong province.


Every year, from mid April to May, visitors flock to experience the stunning cherry blossom festival held in Zhongshan park. The 600m oriental cherry road, better known as the Cherry Blossom Corridor, has more than 20,000 cherry trees transplanted decades ago from Japan; which turns into a beautiful shade of pink that is postcard worthy! First celebrated in 1930s, the Cherry Blossom festival held in Zhongshan park has a history of more than 80 years. 


Another interesting way to witness these stunning cherry blossoms is from the sky through a cable car. There is also an amusement park within the vicinity, for kids to enjoy various rides and fun activities
