Mr. He Yi, a famous modern writer, once described this vividly. In his article "Memory of Cherry Blossoms", he wrote: "That vast expanse of gorgeous cherry blossoms, like peach clouds, like confused fog, like transparent foam, is softer than flying flocks and more dazzling than snowflakes. It seems to be suddenly brilliant in people's casual, radiant, charming and moving, giving every visitor endless joy. Flowers are blooming on your head, and you seem to feel your whole body floating lightly in the sea of cherry blossoms. The gentle cherry blossoms seem to lift you gently from the ground. " In a few words, the charming artistic conception of "East Garden Flower Sea" is vividly described. Every 2 days before and after May Day, there is an annual cherry blossom festival in Qingdao. Qingdao people almost come out of the city, and the cherry blossom road is crowded with people. There is an atmosphere of "moving the capital when flowers bloom". The east side of Yinghua Road is dominated by trees and orchards, with various evergreen trees and deciduous trees.
Cedar is an important ornamental tree here because of its beautiful tree shape and tall green. Cedar in Zhongshan Park has a long-standing reputation in China, especially after the success of seed breeding, Cedar in Qingdao has settled everywhere, from Dalian in the north to Hefei in the south, and even the beautiful Cedar in the courtyard of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall in Beijing has been transplanted from here. Because cedars are dioecious, the flowering time is staggered for half a month, the male flowers have withered, and the female flowers have blossomed. The cedars that cannot be cultivated have dense branches, strong growth, good tree shape and fast breeding. As a result, Qingdao has become an important cedar breeding base in China. In addition, peaches are also longer than Zhongshan Park. It is tender and juicy, and it is a treasure in summer fruits, which is quite famous in Qingdao. When peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the unique varieties of Taoyuan are covered with colorful clouds, which is really beautiful. The gardens in the garden have their own characteristics. There are dozens of meters long vines in Gui Huayuan, and the vigorous vines are intertwined. Every spring and summer, when the flowers bloom, the dense lavender vines hang down and the fragrance is refreshing. In the Peony Garden, there are many famous flowers, which thank each other and last for four hours.
On the west side of Sakura Road is a recreation area, which is divided into several spaces by the shaded garden Nakakoji and the green lawn, among which the children's paradise is the most popular. The horse-turning, bumper cars and small trains here attract many innocent and lively children. The most exciting ones are the gliding dragon amusement machine and the newly-built Horri-bull, the crazy mouse game and so on. You can often hear the happy laughter and screams of adults and children there. The skyscraper on the east side of Sakura Road is also very eye-catching. The tall crane rotates slowly, and when it rises to the highest place, the scenery around the park can be panoramic. Located on the west side, Xiaoxihu Lake is a small and exquisite artificial water feature. Jiuqu wooden bridge leads to the hexagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake. The flowers on the shore are thick, the willows are weeping, the breeze passes by, and ripples appear on the calm lake. Under the trees in the shade of flowers by the lake, the lovers are leaning against each other and whispering, which is quite poetic. The annual Summer Lantern Festival and Late Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition in the park are also the most popular activities for tourists.
Every midsummer night, the colorful lights in the park are in full swing, and all kinds of official lights, gauze lights, boat lights and traditional lanterns in the park from Chengdu, Zigong and Nanjing compete for beauty and splendor, attracting countless fans. The Lantern Festival in the Park began in 1979, and has become more and more prosperous every year since then, and it has become another large-scale garden activity comparable to the cherry blossom festival. The Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition started as early as 195s, and in 1957, more than 7 varieties were exhibited. The period of "Cultural Revolution" was interrupted, and the first Chrysanthemum Exhibition was held in 1977. Since then, more than 7 varieties have been exhibited every year. Purple handsome flags, black ink lotus, Yuanyang spreading its wings and Tianma forcing the wind have become popular treasures in chrysanthemum.
