Gucun Park
顾村公园
Shanghai's largest cherry blossom viewing spot. Each spring, the Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival brings out tens of thousands of trees, making it one of the city's top sakura destinations.
Gucun Park is in Baoshan District and is one of the largest suburban parks in Shanghai. It has more than 10,000 cherry trees, including Somei-Yoshino, Kanzan, and Pine Moon varieties. From mid-to-late March to early April, the Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival is held, and the cherry-lined avenues and groves burst into bloom like a sea of pink. Weekends draw large crowds. The rest of the year, the park offers wide lawns, lakes, and children's play areas, ideal for picnics. Admission is about 15 yuan, though prices may change during the festival. Opening hours are roughly 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Exit at Gucun Park Station on Metro Line 7. Arrive early on festival weekends.
