Taiziwan Park
太子湾公园
A spring flower-viewing spot on the southern West Lake route, where tulips, cherry blossoms and rolling lawns make Hangzhou's most photogenic spring scenery.
Taiziwan Park lies between the southern end of Su Causeway and Nanping Hill. It is named after two crown princes of the Southern Song dynasty who were buried here. In the 1980s, sediment dredged from West Lake was used to create the park, which is known for its streams, sloping lawns and extensive flower borders. From late March to early April each year, a tulip festival fills the park with hundreds of thousands of tulips, along with cherry blossoms and weeping crabapple. It is Hangzhou's most popular spring destination. At other times of year it is quiet and uncrowded. Admission is free. Crowds are very large on weekends during bloom season, so it is best to arrive before 8 a.m. Nearby are Jingci Temple and Leifeng Pagoda.
