Chongqing | I definitely won't visit the cherry blossoms here a second time!!

🌸🌸 - I didn't expect my first cherry blossom viewing this year to be such a letdown! - 📍Location: Qitang Cherry Blossoms in Bishan - ‼️Reasons I won't go again: - 1. I saw posts saying it was free, but when they saw the crowd, they started charging an entrance fee. I can understand the need to make money, but I can't understand this tactic; it feels like being tricked into going there, especially since I chose this place because I heard it was free and not crowded. - 2. There's no designated parking area, so you have to park randomly on the road. The road is already narrow, just wide enough for two small cars to pass each other, and it gets blocked if there's a large vehicle or if someone parks carelessly. - 3. It's a long distance, almost over an hour's drive. - 4. It's crowded with both people and cars, and transportation is inconvenient; you can almost only get there by driving yourself. - ‼️In summary: 1. The ticket is 20 yuan per person. If you don't want to pay for the ticket, there are a few cherry blossoms you can take pictures of right by the entrance. I just took some random shots by the roadside, or you could try to find a small path to sneak in. 2. If it's crowded with many cars and the road is narrow, be mentally prepared, especially if the weather is good and more people are likely to come. - Personal suggestion: If transportation is inconvenient, it's better to go to the Nanshan Botanical Garden, which is also closer.
