Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Chengdu’s Center Hide ‘Nara Deer’, Creating a Beautiful Scene with the Blossoms
Chengdu's central cherry blossom viewing spots hide many 'Nara deer', creating a beautiful scene with the cherry blossoms
Whenever March arrives, many places around Chengdu bloom with flowers, especially places like Longquan. Not only are there many flowers, but the number of visitors is also high. This is mainly because there are no holidays in March, and people wanting to feel the spring atmosphere can only visit places nearby, primarily on weekends. Besides these surrounding areas of Chengdu, there's also a good place in Chengdu's city center, but it's rarely known
Whenever cherry blossoms are in full bloom, many people go to Japan to enjoy them, and in Japan, Nara Prefecture is the most popular, as it offers not only cherry blossoms but also incredibly cute little deer. Now, you can see such a scene in Chengdu, allowing you to see cherry blossoms and deer together, and this place is the Jinsha Museum
Many Chengdu residents have visited the Jinsha Museum, and this is why the place is relatively quiet. Almost everyone has been there, so it's not a popular place for locals to visit. However, in recent years, it has become a good place to view cherry blossoms. The museum houses azaleas and peaches in addition to a large cherry blossom forest. When it's in full bloom in March and April, the entire museum transforms into a pink ocean, comparable to cherry blossoms in Japan
As a gentle breeze blows through, cherry blossoms are blown to the ground, as if laying down a carpet, and the air is mixed with the fragrance of cherry blossoms, beautiful enough to make you mesmerized. In a corner of the museum, there's also a deer garden where many little deer are raised. Many people visiting the Jinsha Museum don't know there's such a place. The deer raised here are very brave and don't fear people. If you like, you can buy some feed and feed them yourself, which is a lot of fun
Moreover, from 10 am to 11 am each year, the museum's keepers will release these deer to roam the outdoor lawns, and you can have a closer interaction with them, taking photos at this time is very good
The museum's location isn't very remote; if you're in Chengdu, you can directly take Metro Line 7 to get there. If you want to view cherry blossoms or interact with the deer, be sure to check the time, or you might miss it
