Spring is the fifth color of Shanghai

In March in Shanghai, even the wind carries the sweetness of honey. The crabapple on Wukang Road has just poked out of the wall, the cherry on the Bund has been woven into a pink waterfall along the flood prevention wall, and the peonies in Yu Garden quietly nod on the rockery - this city famous for speed suddenly slows down in spring, turning every corner into a Monet's garden. When Disney's castle is surrounded by tulips, when the magnolia of Jing'an Temple falls on the monk's robe, this city slowly tells you: Shanghai's spring is a perfect combination of modern civilization and natural poetry.

1.The Bund: A Duet of Cherry Blossoms and River Breeze

The Flower Shadow Corridor at 7am in the morning

The best time to avoid crowds is one hour after sunrise. From Garden Bridge of Shanghai to Shiliupu, the 200 meter Cherry Blossom Trail is performing the magic of light and shadow: the silhouette of the morning runner passes through the branches of Cherry Blossom, the freighter on the Huangpu River whistles to startle a group of gray herons, and the petals fall on the straw hats of the road workers, like the classic scene in Love Letter. It is recommended to bring a CCD camera to capture in front of the old buildings on Dianchi Road: a girl in a windbreaker stands on tiptoe with enough flowers, and the Baroque dome behind her and cherry blossoms form a picture frame with temporal and spatial displacement.

The sunset fireworks at five o'clock in the evening

When the sunset dyed the cherry blossoms golden pink, the bell of the customs building and the lights of Lujiazui on the other side lit up simultaneously. Order a glass of "Cherry Blossom Elderberry Sparkling Wine" at the ROOF Bar in the Bund Source, and watch the sightseeing cruise ship dragging its light belt across the river. The cherry blossom petals are curled up in a spiral shape by the airflow - pressing the long exposure button at this moment can capture the strange scenery of "flowing star tracks" and falling flower rain in the same frame. A photo spot hidden by locals: the steps in front of the Bank of China building, taken from above to create a perfect triangular composition of cherry blossoms, dome, and sunset.

2.Lujiazui: Spring Experiment of Cloud Flower House

Vertical Spring in the Sky Garden

The world's highest hanging garden is hidden outside the "Top of Shanghai center" sightseeing hall. In late March, the azaleas, wisteria, and dendrobium flowers bloom simultaneously here, and the glass curtain wall reflects the cherry blossom avenue underfoot, as if the entire city is floating in the ocean of spring. Suggest coming before 10am, when the sun is slanting, you can capture the interesting contrast between the "syringe" shaped building of Jinmao Tower and the pink flower wall - this is a humorous love letter from Lu Jiazui to Spring.

Spring Market on the underground second floor

From the sunken square of the World Financial Center, we entered the "Senlan Commercial Capital", where the breath of spring has become a tangible beauty: handmade stall owners use wutong leaves to make escort bookmarks, coffee trucks launch a limited "Magnolia Latte", and girls in hanfu broadcast tea under the peach tree. The most special thing is the pop-up store of "City Farm", where you can buy hydroponic lettuce grown in the Lujiazui office building - exquisite by Shanghai people, even in spring, it is packed into glass jars without any deviation.

The Flower Shadow Postman at 3 PM

In front of the "Shanghai Old Camera Manufacturing Museum" at the corner of Wukang Building, a 20 meter long hanging silk crabapple is performing a romantic storm. The mottled red brick walls are covered in floral shadows, and the old-fashioned Leica camera captures a girl wearing a cheongsam walking past, with high heels clicking on fallen leaves - a scene reminiscent of the slow motion scenes in Wong Kar wai's movies. It is suggested to rent a permanent bicycle, and put a postcard full of feelings into the retro mailbox (the postmark is the wutong leaf pattern exclusive to Wukang Road) when staying under the "Romeo Balcony".

Spring tea party deep in the alley

Enter the "Farmer Bob" caf é in Wukangting, and the owner will serve you a limited edition "cherry blossom crepe" with scattered crabapple petals hidden in the cream. The "Fl â nerve" buyer's shop next door is holding a spring clothing exhibition: the silk shirt is printed with water lilies from the Yu Garden, and the leg of the linen wide leg pants is embroidered with the flood prevention wall pattern of the Bund. Sitting on the outdoor seat, watch the new leaves of wutong throw light spots in the coffee cup, and the grandma in the lane in the distance is cutting the branches of magnolia flowers - this is the spring philosophy of Wukang Road: slowly, faster

3.Jing'an Temple: A Time Space Dialogue between Incense and Flower Affairs

Zen themed flower activities at 6am in the morning

The two hundred year old magnolia trees in front of the gate of Jing'an Temple are the signal flares of spring. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the prayer flag, the petals fall onto the prayer wheel, and the monk in a monk's robe holds an iPad to record the moment of blooming flowers. The phone case features Disney's Lena Belle pattern. It is recommended to circle the temple clockwise and stop in front of the merit box next to the "Sixth Spring of the World": the spring water reflects the petals of magnolia flowers, and occasionally drones pass by - traditional and modern, achieving a wonderful reconciliation in the morning mist of spring.

The cross-border flower banquet at 4 pm at dusk

Coming out of the "Bow" exit of Jing'an Temple subway station, the "Flower and Alice" shop on Yuyuan Road is decorating its window with cherry blossoms. The next door "Summer View" aromatherapy store launched the "Jing'an Temple Limit" - the top note is magnolia, the middle note is mixed with incense, and the base note falls on the wheat fragrance of coffee and French stick. Sitting in the open-air seat of "% Arabia", watching a girl wearing a new Chinese outfit walk past holding a bouquet of tulips, with a cherry blossom themed light show flowing on the glass curtain wall of Jing'an Kerry Center behind her.

4.Yu Garden: a labyrinth of flowers and shadows with ancient charm and deep spring

Peony's National Color Spring Banquet at 9am

In front of the "Wanhua Building" in Yu Garden, the hundred year old Peony King is in full bloom, and Yao Huang, Wei Zi and Zhao Fen are stacked on the top of the rockery. Following the guidance of the tour guide lady's fan, we can hear the legend of the "Flower God Sedan": in the old days, Shanghainese would carry peonies on the day of Guyu, and the cloth shoes worn by the sedan bearers were embroidered with the patterns of the Jiuqu Bridge in Yu Garden. It is suggested to rent a set of Ming Dynasty Han style clothes ("Han Weiyang" in the Yu Garden Shopping Mall provides makeup making services), take photos in front of the water waves of the "Fish Music Pavilion", and the peony and koi in the reflection form a living picture of "wealth and wealth".

Afternoon Tea at 2 PM Slow Time

Passing through the old street of Yu Garden, the second floor of the "Huxinting Tea House" is the secret base of spring. Brewing Bi Luo Chun with the well water by the Jiuqu Bridge, scattered cherry blossoms float in the tea cups, and the tassel tree outside the window is sprinkling snow like petals on tourists' oil paper umbrellas. The "NanXiang Mantou Store" downstairs launched a limited version of "Xiaolongbao with bamboo shoots". The thin skin shows a light green color, and the soup is mixed with shepherd's purse fragrance when biting open - this is the Shanghai people's precise capture of the taste of spring.

5.Disney: Spring Limited Edition of Fairy Tale World

The float magic at 10am in the morning

The spring themed "Mickey Fairy Tale Train" has added cherry blossom elements: Minnie's bow has been replaced with a pink and white gradient, and Donald Duck's sailor suit is adorned with a tulip brooch. When the float passes by the "Fantasia Carousel", it is recommended to turn on your phone for continuous shooting: sunlight passes through the wisteria flower rack at the top of the float, casting mottled light and shadow on the faces of tourists. The moment when the girl in JK dress interacts with the Duffy bear will become the most healing spring image on your social media.

The Star Wish Fireworks at 6pm at dusk

When the "Illuminate Dreams" fireworks show begins, artificial cherry blossom snow will fall over the castle. Take a seat on the cruise ship of "Crystal Color Adventure" in advance, and you can see fireworks reflected on the lake, forming a symmetrical beauty with the magnolia trees on the shore. After finishing, take a detour to "Disneytown" where the spring limited edition red velvet cake at "Zhile Fang" is topped with edible cherry blossoms. The waiter will say to you in Shanghainese, "Happy spring, come back next time.

In the morning after leaving Shanghai, buy a fried Rice and vegetable roll at the breakfast stand on Changle Road. When the aunt wrapped the crisp deep-fried dough sticks in it, she conveniently added a pickled cherry blossom, which is a hidden menu in spring known by local people. Holding a bookmark of wutong Ye Shuhua bought in Wukang Road in your arms, and holding a picture of Cherry Blossoms on the Bund and Lujiazui lights in the same frame in your mobile phone, you suddenly understand that the spring in Shanghai is the gentleness of the steel forest, the slow time stolen from the fast pace, and the poetry that can be met at every corner. When the plane flies over the Huangpu River, you know, this spring, what you take away is not only the colors in the photo album, but also the love letters written by the whole city for spring.
