With warm sunshine and gentle breeze, people may be in the mood for a lovely spring outing. While the cherry flowers have not completely fallen off trees, wisteria blossoms in various parks of the city are attracting visitors with their breathtaking beauty and floating scent. The Shanghai Tourism Bureau released a flower map recently to help visitors searching for the romantic flowers.
Most popular: Jiading Wisteria Park As one of the only three wisteria parks in the world, the Jiading Wisteria Park has 28 varieties of more than 100 wisteria trees. On entering the park, visitors will be greeted by clusters of wisteria flowers with the longest flower shoot reaching 1.5 meters. April and May is the best time to view wisteria plants as the flowers bloom in various shades of purple, white and pink. The Japanese-style wisteria park opened in 2000 to celebrate Jiading's friendly cooperation with Wake Town of Okayama Prefecture in Japan.
