Spring Tour to Watch Cherry Blossom in Wuhan University

If you have no extra time or money to have an extension tour to Japan to enjoy the cherry blossom, you can go to Wuhan University. Every spring, Wuhan University would be the ocean of cherry bloom. In the campus of Wuhan University plants more than 1000 cherry trees with about 10 different varieties. When the cherry blossoms is in full bloom every year, visitors from all over the country or abroad will come to this places to see the beautiful.

This year, I went to Wuhan for a business trip in late March, very lucky that I still have some time to have a short tour to see the cherry blossom in Wuhan University in my spare time. Before I went there, I did some research about it.

Best time to watch Cherry Blossom in Wuhan University is from late March to early April. Cherry flower season is quite short, about 13 to 20 days only. So come in the right time is quite important. You’d better go there in early morning to avoid the crowded people.

Best places to see: Cherry Avenue, Cherry Garden and Ying Ding in Wuhan University, where plants more than one thousand cherry trees.

At the day I went there, I got up quite early, then I took a taxi to reach Wuhan University. When I got there, many people was being there earlier than me. The cherry Ave. looked quite beautiful with many cherry trees at the both sides of the road. The flowers had fully bloomed in pink, light red and white. I found some high places to try to take great pictures of them. One thing to be remaindered, it usually rains in March in Wuhan, so you should be prepared to meet rainy days when you get there. But it was cloudy at the day I went there, not bad.

I spent a couple of hours to stroll around the campus. At noon, I went to one of canteens for lunch. The food there tasted not bad for me. There are also a lot of local snacks around the gate of this university. If you would like to try, it is okay.

Tips: one can take Bus 513, 515, 519, 55, 552, 564, 572 to get to Wuhan University.
