“The park features the meaningful "Seventy‑Eight Cherry Blossom Pavilion," where former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka gifted 78 cherry trees to Chairman Ren Chuan to commemorate the 1978 China-Japan Friendship Treaty. The park offers breathtaking cherry blossoms both day and night.”
East Lake Cherry Blossom Park is a vast and picturesque garden located in the Moshan Scenic Area of Wuhan’s Hongshan District. Spanning roughly 260 to 520 rai (about 42 to 83 hectares), the park is planted with more than 10,000 cherry trees representing over 80 unique varieties. Among these are rare and special cultivars such as Somei Yoshino, Oshima, Yae Kanzan, Urumaki, and the distinctive green cherry, Goiyori.
The park’s origin traces back to cherry trees planted during historical periods influenced by Japan, and it notably includes the “Seventy-Eight Cherry Blossom Pavilion.” This pavilion was established when former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka gifted 78 cherry trees to Chairman Ren Chuan, commemorating the 1978 China-Japan Friendship Treaty—a lasting symbol of goodwill.
Over the years, the park has been carefully preserved and enhanced to maintain both its natural beauty and cultural significance. Every spring, it becomes a lively hub for visitors celebrating the blooming season. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival features musical performances, lantern ceremonies, and captivating nighttime light shows that bathe the blossoms in a romantic glow.
This park is a beloved destination for photographers capturing the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms, couples seeking a romantic stroll, and cultural enthusiasts wishing to experience the fusion of natural splendor and historic friendship.
Visitors looking to immerse themselves in the delicate charm of cherry blossoms and explore cultural heritage will find East Lake Cherry Blossom Park an unforgettable experience.
