[In Focus]: 2021 Cherry Blossom Festival

The iconic Japanese flowers welcome in the Shanghai Spring.

A picture-driven look at what's new, cool, special and weird about Shanghai. This is the view from the ground, through the lens of our photographers.

The 2021 National Cherry Blossom Festival officially starts on March 20, and it will run until April 11. The trees at Gucun Park and Chenshan Botanical Garden have begun to bloom; a sunny day would be a good opportunity to visit the foliage.
