Kawazu cherry blossoms reach their peak viewing period

The fine weather in the first half of the Spring Festival holiday this year has spurred the plum blossoms to bloom, but unexpectedly, since the second half began, there has been continuous low temperature and drizzle, and the plum blossoms that have already bloomed seem to have joined the game of "One, two, three, wooden soldiers", "frozen" there motionless, thus, the flowering period has been extended.

At the Meiyuan in Century Park yesterday, the reporter saw that unlike in previous years when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, quite a few flower buds were still yet to blossom on the branches this year. However, this does not dampen the enthusiasm of citizens and tourists to enjoy the plum blossoms during the spring outing.

There are still quite a few flower buds on the branches of the plum blossoms

At eight or nine in the morning, tourists from all directions enter the park. Several aunties are dressed uniformly in this year's popular horse-face skirts, carefully dressed up to take pictures, and Uncle Lao Chen is their professional photographer.

The extension of the plum blossom period allows them to "connect" with early-blooming cherry blossoms, such as the Kawazu cherry.

The first cherry blossom viewing peak of the year has arrived

The Kawazu cherry blossoms of Gu Cun Park are mainly concentrated in the Cherry Blossom Forest, Park Gate No. 3, and Early Cherry Blossom Forest. With rare sunny spring days, many citizens and tourists come to enjoy the spring and cherry blossoms. As of 3 pm, the park's visitor flow was close to 7,000.

With the clearing weather, the Chunghwa cherry and Kawazu cherry will enter the viewing period this weekend and gradually bloom; the Toba cherry, Ogyo cherry, and Akebono cherry are expected to enter the viewing period around next weekend; the large-scale Somei Yoshino cherry variety is expected to enter the viewing period around mid-March. This was introduced by Gu Cun Park's Greenification Management Director, Li Yong.

Surge of People Flocking to See Flowers

Century Park announcement:Reopen

When you come to the park to enjoy flowers, you are not allowed to take photos and check in. Last year, it was observed that many female tourists would bring multiple sets of clothes to change on-site. Century Park tried to launch a "temporary dressing room" during the Plum Garden Festival, choosing a lawn with relatively flat terrain to build a tent-style dressing room. In the room, a stool is placed inside to facilitate tourists to change clothes. This convenient service measure was well received as soon as it was launched, and tent-style dressing rooms have since appeared seasonally in the full bloom of various flowers.

This year, the temporary changing room tried to "reopen" several times, but due to the rain or low temperatures and cold waves, the changing room was not qualified to "reopen." Yesterday, Shanghai welcomed the long-lost sun, and it will be continuously fine for the next two days, the temperature has also increased, therefore the Century Park has quickly put the temporary dressing room into "service".

Here we go again:

People filled the beautiful tree

There is nothing wrong with coming to admire cherry blossoms and taking photos to leave beautiful moments, but when the crowd becomes large, problems arise.

As the cherry blossom season has just begun, some netizens have already started to vent their complaints on social media:The cherry blossom trees are crowded with people.

不过，最引争议的是还是老问题：Many "models" in fancy dress will shoot for a long time under the beautiful cherry trees, which has aroused dissatisfaction among citizens.

Calling for Civilized Touring to Appreciate the Beauty Together

In recent years, the cherry blossoms in Shanghai have become increasingly beautiful, and taking photos of them and posting them on social media has become a "must" for people of all ages. However, at the same time, the problem of "tree squatting" has also emerged, which has created a new challenge for park managers.

When encountering ladies "climbing the ladder," security guards will issue reminders. However, reflectors, ladders, and other items can be easily put away. Once the security guard has left, they might be taken out again. Moreover, incidents that affect the vegetation and environment frequently occur, including those resulting from conflicts over "seizing" the most beautiful position of a tree. Last year, numerous park managers issued an appeal, urging all visitors to behave in a civilized manner and appreciate the beauty together.

游客多起来，“呼吁”就显得无力。 Park managers might want to look at:Given that "punching the clock" is an urgent need, is it necessary to come up with new management methods to allow citizens and tourists to take photos in an orderly manner to enhance the sense of well-being among citizens who go out for spring outings and flower viewing?
