It’s the best time to appreciate plum blossoms again. Plums have been loved by people since ancient times, and there are many beautiful places to enjoy them in Suzhou. Below I will introduce you to a plum blossom viewing spot, including its specific address and transportation guide. You might as well embark on a flower-viewing trip during the holidays.

Linwu Meihai

The "Linwu Meihai" on Taihu Island has become one of the largest scenic spots and plum cultural activity bases in China. Every year from the 15th day of the first lunar month to the 20th day of the second lunar month is the best time to appreciate plum blossoms. At that time, when you climb Linwu Mountain, you can see thousands of acres of plum blossoms at the foot of the mountain, with white waves like snow, which is spectacular.

To see plum blossoms in Chaifangdong, it is best to go to the 94-meter-high "Drifting Pavilion" on the top of the mountain to see the panoramic view of the plum garden. Looking around, the more than 3,000 acres of plum blossoms at the foot of the mountain are magnificent, with rolling white waves and condensed snow. The scenic spot has three series of landscapes: "Watching Plum Blossoms Floating", "Exploring Plum Blossoms in the Forest" and "Appreciating Plum Blossoms on the Water".

To appreciate the plum blossoms, you can also visit the ninth hole, Woodhouse Cave. The road inside the cave is calm and quiet. People walk along it and look up. Stalactites are upside down. There are holes in the cave, and the holes are connected to each other, sometimes narrow, sometimes open, unfathomable and confusing.
