Who is one of the "three places to enjoy cherry blossoms in the world", namely, Pearl at the source of Taihu Lake and Oriental Lake Cherry Garden?

Here we need to clarify a concept first. The so-called "three major cherry blossom viewing resorts in the world", Aomori Hirosaki Sakura Garden in Japan and Washington Sakura Garden in the United States are of course two of them. The third largest cherry blossom viewing resort in the world is controversial. Is it Wuhan University in Wuhan, Moshan Sakura Garden in East Lake in Wuhan, or round-headed bamboo in Wuxi?

I think, to compare these three "cherry blossom viewing resorts" together, and to "compare" one of them, the only way is to look at history, scale and popularity.

In that case, let me talk about the round-headed pig first.

Yuantouzhu oriental cherry Wu

Yuantouzhu, Wuxi Taihu Yuantouzhu Scenic Area. Built in 19 16. Formerly known as the private garden of Wuxi local squire Yang, it once became Chiang Kai-shek's private garden (according to Baidu Encyclopedia-the author's note), and was called "the first scene of Taihu Lake". Mr. Guo Moruo once praised the poem "Taihu Lake is the best place, after all, in the head".

Yang studied in Japan in his early years and had a soft spot for cherry blossoms. 19 18, he personally planted the first batch of Yoshino cherry trees brought back from Japan at the source of Zhuchunqiao. It is said that some of the cherry blossoms on the banks of Changchun Bridge and on Sanhuali Avenue from Chongshan to 72 Fengshan Pavilion are planted by Yang. In this way, the cherry tree with round head bamboo is over 80 years old.

In the early 1980s, after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, round-headed bamboos planted cherry blossoms on a large scale. The "Japan Friendship Forest Construction Implementation Committee" organized by Japanese friends such as Keishiro Sakamoto and Kiyoshi Hasegawa (deceased) successively presented dozens of cherry tree seedlings to Wuxi-the first batch of 300 cherry trees with dyed wells were planted; 1500 cherry trees were planted at the foot of Zhuluding Mountain, the source of the "Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest" project in 1987. In this way, these cherry trees are all over 30 years old.

The source of Taihu Lake is the main Changchun Bridge.

20 10 yuan Touzhu Sakura Valley is completed and opened to the outside world. The cherry trees here are a little shorter, generally over 10 years old. Up to now, more than 30,000 cherry trees have been planted in Yuantouzhu Scenic Area of Taihu Lake, with nearly 100 varieties. Because the early, middle and late cherry blossoms are matched when planning to plant cherry trees in the source Pearl Scenic Area, the annual "cherry blossom season" flowering period can last from late February to mid-April.

At present, Yuantou Pearl Scenic Area covers an area of more than 360 mu and is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, a national key scenic spot and a national civilized scenic spot.

After talking about the source pearl scenic spot, I went on to talk about the cherry blossom garden of Wuhan University and Moshan cherry blossom garden in Wuhan East Lake.

The cherry blossoms of Wuhan University were first planted in 1939, and the Japanese invaders planted 28 cherry trees. However, due to the short life cycle of cherry trees and the fact that these cherry trees were planted by Japanese invaders, the first generation of cherry trees basically died in the 1950s and 1960s.

Oriental cherry of Wuhan University

After the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the Japanese government presented 1000 cherry saplings to China, 50 of which were planted in Wuhan University. The remaining 950 trees are planted in Moshan Cherry Garden in East Lake, not far from Wuhan University. In other words, the existing cherry trees in Wuhan University and Moshan Cherry Garden in Wuhan East Lake were basically planted after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, and the age of the trees was much lower than that of the cherry trees beside the Changchun Bridge in Zhucheng, the source.

At present, there are about 1 0,000 cherry trees planted in Wuhan University, mainly including Japanese cherry, mountain cherry, big branch early cherry and safflower cherry. From "28 Flowers of National Shame" to "Thousands of Flowers of Humanities", it not only witnessed the changes of Sino-Japanese relations, but also carried the historical background of Wuhan University.

Wuhan Donghu Moshan Sakura Garden

Baidu Encyclopedia shows that the Moshan Cherry Garden in Wuhan East Lake covers an area of 260 mu, and 58 cherry tree varieties have been planted, including more than 0/0/0000 cherry trees. Except that the first batch of 950 cherry trees donated by the Japanese government were planted after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, most of the cherry trees were planted in 1998, which was jointly invested by China and Japan. Its planting age is later than most cherry trees planted by Phyllostachys rotundus, and the number of cherry trees planted so far is only 1/3 of that of Phyllostachys rotundus.

The above is the present situation of cherry blossom planting in Wuhan University, including Moshan cherry blossom garden in East Lake of Wuhan and round-headed bamboo in Wuxi.

I have to admit that Wuhan University is a famous institution of higher learning, and Huang Cancan, the "goddess of cherry blossoms" of Wuhan University, has also become popular on the Internet, and cherry blossom viewing in Wuhan University is free, so the cherry blossom fever of Wuhan University has remained high year after year. However, Wu Da is an institution of higher learning after all, and it is necessary to maintain the normal teaching order in colleges and universities, so the carrying capacity of its tourists is far from that of Moshan Cherry Garden in Wuhan East Lake and Pearl Scenic Area at the source of Taihu Lake in Wuxi.

Every year, during the cherry blossom viewing season, Wuda implements online real-name registration system registration and appointment, with a daily limit.

In this way, Wuhan University can be excluded by exclusion, leaving only the contrast between Moshan Cherry Garden in East Lake of Wuhan and Phyllostachys edulis in Wuxi. According to what I said at the beginning of the article, "Look at the history, look at the scale and look at the popularity", it is obvious that the source Pearl Scenic Area has basically surpassed the Moshan Sakura Garden in Wuhan East Lake in terms of history, scale and popularity.

Speaking of which, my topic today-Wuhan and Wuxi, two cherry blossom viewing resorts, is more popular? Whose is the "Three Cherry Blossoms in the World" between Moshan Cherry Blossom Garden in East Lake and Yuantouzhu in Wuxi? I believe that tourists have a steelyard in their hearts. I don't draw conclusions.
