Zhongshan Park

中山公园（文登路）

Cherry-tree avenues in the city's green lung

Address

Off Wendeng Road in Shinan, joined to the zoo and the TV Tower hill trail

Late April, the cherry trees along both sides of the paths go off at once and the whole park turns into a pink ceiling. Out of season it is still a pleasant loop around the lake, with tai chi regulars and joggers splitting the early morning. The zoo and the TV Tower hill trail connect directly, so one visit easily eats half a day. Right in the middle of the city, and it smells like forest.
