Beautiful map of Vancouver cherry blossom viewing | Enjoy a spring feast together
While the March rain is still falling, pink, white and crimson clouds have quietly climbed onto the branches of Vancouver trees, and the whole city is about to be caught in a pink storm that will last for more than a month. There are more than 40,000 cherry trees in Vancouver, covering 54 varieties. From the majestic flower waterfall of Somei Yoshino to the rich and gorgeous double petals of Kanzan cherry blossoms, every frame is a naturally painted Ukiyo-e. For twelve years, I have followed the trajectory of flowers blooming, capturing the lightness and ethereality of Yoshino cherry blossoms in the morning mist of Stanley Park, and overlooking the entire city gradually being stained with a soft light filter from the top of Queen Elizabeth Park; the cherry blossom tunnel in the Burnaby neighborhood is a love letter to the sky, and under the century-old trees in the East Vancouver neighborhood, the falling petals weave the most gentle carpet.
There is no Zen discipline like the Kyoto temples here. The cherry blossoms in Vancouver have the natural elegance of the west coast of North America - they bloom in the corners of coffee shops, next to the fences of basketball courts, and even share the clear sky with bicycle lanes. If you want to understand how this city nurtures spring in its jungle of steel, you might as well take this map that condenses the flowering period of twelve years: from the close-up of petals in the backlight in the early morning to the fantasy of night cherry blossoms dancing with street lights in the twilight, Vancouver's cherry blossom season is a flowing feast worthy of everyone's participation.
🌸Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots: (The flowering period varies every year depending on the temperature of the climate, and some may differ by one or two weeks. I will also follow up on this year's flowering period and send you the latest flower news on site)
1️⃣2139 W 22nd Ave, Vancouver
Around March 20 every year, West Vancouver’s most famous purple-leaf plum blossom street is in full bloom, stretching for 2 kilometres across multiple blocks.
2️⃣ SkyTrain Station 635 Burrard St, Vancouver
Most of them bloom at the end of March. It is the most beautiful skytrain station in downtown Vancouver in spring. Do not check in during rush hour and try to avoid the crowds.
3️⃣ 6210 Tisdall St, Vancouver
Opening in mid-March, the huge Hyakuzakura in Tisdall Park in west Vancouver is quite eye-catching among the early cherry blossoms.
4️⃣6120 Yew St. Vancouver
At the end of March, the famous cherry blossom street in West Vancouver is relatively long, with many tree species and dense flowering trees, and residential houses and churches as the background.
5️⃣3008 East 5th Ave, Vancouver
In late March, the location was high, the slope was steep, there were few pedestrians, and there were high-rise buildings in Burnaby in the distance, so the bird's-eye view from the top of the slope was the best.
6️⃣David Lam Park Downtown
At the end of March and the beginning of April, the seaside park in the city center has sea views and city buildings, and the photos taken from multiple angles are all great.
7️⃣Burnaby Mountain Park
In early April, the cherry blossom + sunset combination is even better.
8️⃣Garry Point Park Richmond
In early April, the best park for cherry blossom viewing in Richmond has hundreds of cherry trees densely packed together, which is very dreamy and especially beautiful on sunny days.
9️⃣5872 Charles St Burnaby
In early April, there are huge cherry trees, a slope, and few people, which makes it a great photogenic spot, perfect for taking portraits.
🔟Queen Elizabeth Park
In early April, there are huge cherry trees and vast grasslands, which are suitable for taking portraits. The disadvantage is that there are many tourists, so avoid holidays.
🌸1499 Homer St. Vancouver
In early April, the community in False Creek had nearly a hundred cherry trees, an ocean view, a lawn, and a playground.
🌸3880 Westminster Highway
In early April, a pink storm swept across the entire community. It was breathtakingly beautiful, but there were few people and it was very quiet.
🌸 1108 Park Drive (Osler Street & Park Drive) In early April, it was relatively small, with few people and very photogenic.
🌸 1071 E 10th Ave, Vancouver
In early April, in a residential area near Vancouver Community College, there was a very quiet and long Guanshan Sakura Street.
🌸 700 boundary road, Burnaby
In early April, there was a very long cherry blossom street. The reason why it was not as famous as the cherry blossom street in East Vancouver was that there were always one or two flowering trees missing in the middle of each section, which made me, a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, very confused.
🌸7525 Yukon Street, Vancouver
In mid-April, the streets of Winona Park are lined with pink and white cherry blossoms, and there are few people on weekdays.
The following 4 streets are highly recommended: 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
🫰🌸1600 Windermere St, Vancouver
In early April, I visited what was once the most beautiful cherry blossom street in my mind. Although the trees have been pruned a bit harshly in the past two years, it is still very ornamental. The trees are very old and have a sense of age. There is also a magnolia street next to it, which is also very spectacular and has a subtle fragrance.
🫰🌸6776 Grant Pl, Burnaby
In early to mid-April, this is one of the most beautiful cherry blossom streets currently recognized, stretching for hundreds of meters and is very spectacular.
🫰🌸3095 E 7th Ave, Vancouver
In late April, I highly recommend the Guanshan Sakura, a perfect cherry blossom tunnel with not many people.
🫰🌸6965 Heather St. Vancouver
In late April, I visited my favorite Guanshan Cherry Street in West Vancouver many times. The only sound on the quiet street was the sound of falling petals hitting the ground. It's so dreamy when the cherry blossoms are blowing snow!
The last picture is an easter egg. It is a picture of my family’s Kwanzan cherry blossoms blooming last year. [Cute]
