This time we only spent 3 days in Shanghai, apart from visiting the Bund and a few other typical tourist attractions, we went to search for something different; cherry blossoms! Yes, there was a huge cherry blossom festival in Shanghai.
We read about the cherry blossom festival before we reached Shanghai. Hence, after we got into Shanghai, we immediately arranged a trip to visit the cherry blossom gardens. Unfortunately, we were 1 week late for the cherry blossom festival.
This was the last batch in the garden...
According to the locals, they bloomed early this year and due to the big wind, there were all gone after 1 week. So, they recommended that we visit the tulip garden instead!
My oh my, a tulip garden in Shanghai ?
Actually, the garden was quite spectacular. I believe they have all types of tulips and colors featured in the garden and it was also probably the biggest tulip garden outside of Holland. Never had I thought I would be able to see such array of tulips outside of Holland. It was very breathtaking and exciting. The ticket wasn't cheap, but I would say it was worth it, because I get to see such an spectacular tulip garden! :)
Of course we had a great time in Shanghai but what really made this trip memorable were the tulips!
