The slopes on both sides of the road are covered with cherry trees, which are in full bloom and pink all over the mountain, which is more beautiful than a fairy tale world.
Many tourists drive here to take photos and punch in, making it a punching place for online celebrities.
This card-issuing highway is a part of the west line of Shanghai, and there is no specific name. When people come here to play, they often locate Siming Bridge, which is also commonly known as "Siming Bridge Sakura Valley".
In fact, it is not a "valley" but a hillside.
The winding Panshan highway gradually bulges, forming a sense of hierarchy. Standing on a high place overlooking the expressway below is particularly beautiful.
Cherry trees grow on both sides of this winding mountain road, of course, there are also high and low.
These cherry trees are usually inconspicuous, but they are full of pink as soon as they bloom, and the whole hillside looks like a snow. Standing high, it looks like a mountain full of Xue Hai, which is very beautiful.
Because the mountains are undulating and surrounded by green hills, you don't need to borrow a position to take pictures. You can take good-looking photos by lifting the camera, and it is easier to take good-looking movies by aerial photography with drones.
Therefore, this cherry blossom forest quickly became a popular punching place in Ningbo. Every year during the cherry blossom season, people come here to take pictures and punch in.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is only wild mountains, not real scenic spots, and there are no related supporting tourist facilities, such as parking spaces, restaurants, toilets or garbage bins.
If you plan to stay for a long time, you need to bring your own food, water and garbage bags, and remember to pick up the garbage when you leave.
In addition, when standing on the side of the road to take pictures, you must pay attention to avoiding passing vehicles.
Because this card is very popular in expressway, there are many related sharing and strategies on the Internet.
Many bloggers suggest parking on the side of the road as a point to promote and even show off.
I think this practice is unacceptable.
I have been to too many scenic spots in online celebrity and seen too many long queues of cars. Sometimes the roads are blocked and it is difficult to leave.
In this way, the normal traffic of the local people is affected, and people have to close the scenic spot, so that you can't enjoy yourself.
This card-issuing road is very close to Qixiakeng Village. Visitors can park their private cars in Xixia keng village, hike up the mountain or take a bus.
If you start from Ningbo, you need to change at Xikou bus station to get to this cherry blossom valley.
There are buses to Dongcun or Qixiakeng at Xikou Station, but there are not many flights.
There are many passing buses at the entrance of Dongcun, but it is still about 5 kilometers away from the Sakura Valley on the card-issuing road, so it is still difficult to tip for sightseeing.
There are many cherry trees in Ningbo, which can be seen everywhere in urban areas, suburbs, roadsides and the wild. Except for the different scenery caused by the ups and downs of the terrain, there is actually no difference.
If you don't want to travel long distances, you can enjoy cherry blossoms nearby. If you really want to see cherry blossoms in the wild, you can look at pictures taken by others online. The effect of cloud travel is basically the same.
However, this cherry blossom valley has several special features.
One is that there are two kinds of cherry blossoms here: early cherry blossoms and late cherry blossoms. After the early cherry blossoms finish, the late cherry blossoms keep up, and the flowering period can last until the middle and early April.
The other is that after seeing the cherry blossoms here, you can go to Qixiakeng Village at the foot of the mountain. Friends who like hiking can also cross the Qixiakeng ancient road and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
