Japanese Cherry, a kind of cherry tree that comes into full bloom in the middle of April is certainly a beautiful sight to behold on clear spring days.

One place to find a host of wonderful cherry trees is in Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, striking for the near 100 elegantly flowering trees that bring the park to life as the warmer weather returns.

The petals of this cherry tree, commonly known by the name of Guanshan cherry blossom appear for a short period in spring. [Photo from WeChat: csnbgsh]
