Longwangtang Cherry Blossom Park
龙王塘樱花园
A cherry garden below Longwangtang Reservoir in Lüshun, with thousands of trees beside the dam. It is one of the best-known cherry-viewing spots in Liaoning and across the Northeast.
Longwangtang Cherry Blossom Park lies in Longwangtang Subdistrict of Lüshunkou District, built around a reservoir constructed in the 1920s. Thousands of cherry trees of many varieties grow here, and many are nearly a century old. From mid-to-late April to early May, the cherry blossom festival fills the park, with the blossoms framing the stone dam, the lake and distant hills. Admission is charged only during blossom season. At other times the park is quieter and less scenic. Take Metro Line 12 to Longwangtang Station and walk from there. Weekend crowds during blossom season are very heavy.
Opening hours
Flowering season approx. 07:00–18:00
