Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden, Anshun
Pingba District, Guizhou |
Monday March 24 2025 (Day 7 - Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden / Park, Pingba District, Anshun ) Part 1 - this post focused on our tour group's visit to Gui'an Cherry Blossom Park in Pingba District, Anshun (a complimentary tour provided by Globalite Travel), the world largest cherry blossom garden hence it was everybody's delight when we showed up & strolled the cherry blossom garden snatching as many pictures as possible ! My wife was in a jubilant mood after the Gui'an cherry blossom visit ! One up for her in the world of travelling ! A long day awaiting us as our tour bus driver had to drive us from Anshun > Guiyang to visit 4 sightseeing places ie Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden / Park, Qingyan Ancient Town, Qingyun Market / Pedestrian Street & The Colorful Guizhou Style Performance in Guizhou Grand Theatre !
1) Hotel buffet breakfast - took an early breakfast (07.00) in our Anshun hotel & need some extra calories to boost up our energy as we have 4 major sightseeing activities today & a late hotel check-in (21.00) in Guiyang, our group's final night stay in Guiyang before flying home !
Food energises the body but dreams energises the soul - it was my wife's dream (having visited the Sakura season of Japan ie Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo, Kyoto & Miyajima in April 2010 - 15 years ago) wanting to see a Sakura season in Guizhou, China that brought me here ! She too has another dream, hopefully both of us could visit Busan, South Korea during a Sakura season in the near future ! Keep dreaming, KM as dream has no expiry date !
2) Cute dolls in traditional Guizhou traditional attire spotted in hotel reception area - nice looking & attractive !
3) Cityscape & countryside of Anshun, Guizhou - the first sight of Sakura blossoms & more to come as our tour bus moved towards the Pingba Sakura Farm, Anshun - the highlight of our today's visit !
4) Sightseeing No 1 - arriving in Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden / Park, Anshun, Pinba District, Guizhou - the best is yet to come ! My wife's dream of seeing a Cherry blossom farm in Guizhou is about to fulfil, needless to say, her mind is now switching to an exciting mode & me too .....
5) First thing first, dash to a nearest mobile toilet in Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden to release your "inner tension" & what a relief after the act ! The row of blue mobile toilets look like a "Pretty Maids all in a row" but carrying a general meaning which is about childhood & the loss innocence as one gets older - how Life can be so fast and stuffs happens in LIFE & we don't even know why !
6) Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden Visitor Centre - open air reception ground & showroom to welcome visitors & tour groups - my wife standing tall in this Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden & I quickly snatched a picture of her - she was over the moon with her presence during the Gui'an Cherry Blossom season, no regret for both of us signing up this Guizhou package tour & leaving behind our footprints & the sense of sight in Gui'an Cherry Blossom Park on March 24 2025 !
7) Boarding an electric vehicle buggy for a short ride to the interior of the Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden.
8) Passing by the Gui'an village town .....
9) The start of our Cherry Blossom walkabout in Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden / Park, Guizhou - just follow the signboard, you should by OK to get nearer to the garden centre & observation deck / viewpoint ! Rows & rows of Sakura trees (early cherry blossoms in late March & early April) starting to emerge in front of our eyes, get ready your mobile phone camera ..... the moment belongs to you now ! Just cherish the moment & admire the Sakura beauty from now on ..... Is LIFE like a cherry blossom, beautiful & short-lived ! I hope I have the answer for you !
10) Walking paths leading to the Sakura Viewpoint - our tour groups' presence here simply means we have a date with Sakura season in Guiyang ! A pink signboard in the garden conveyed this message in mandarin "I am in Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden waiting for you !" - yes, I hear you, I am already here with my beloved wife & also my 20 over Malaysian tour members on this very day ie Monday March 24 2025 ! A Sakura fun feeling in me as I strolled along with my wife in this large Sakura farm in Gui'an ! The Cherry blossoms whisper the tales of coming Spring ! Spring is another great season for traveling in overseas countries !
11) Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden Observation Deck / Viewpoint, Guizhou - an ideal spot to take pictures of Sakura blossom in the park / lake area from the higher ground ! Free photo taking services offered by the Park management at the Observation Deck ! Picturesque & a sight to behold !
