The highlight remains the Xiaoyao Slope, on the banks of West Lake, which is displaying a swirling design of colorful tulips that reflect the serenity of the water body at night. A new addition is the floating tulip islands on Yulu Pond, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper constellation.
For those eager to visit, the park requires reservations with a viewing time, via official platforms. Secure your spot and embrace the floral spectacle of the season!
