During the early bloom from March 9 to 20, Gate 3 will welcome visitors until 9:30 pm. As the blossoms reach their peak from March 21 to April 9, Gate 2 will extend its hours into the night. Enhancing the nocturnal allure, a magical fantasy market will feature light shows, cherry blossom-themed delicacies, and cultural products, invigorating the night economy.
Spanning over 1,600 mu (106.7 hectares), Gucun Park is home to Shanghai's largest cherry blossom forest, boasting 120 varieties and more than 16,000 cherry trees. This year introduces new varieties like Somei Yoshino and Kawazu Cherry.
