Looking from above, SH Blooming Garden floats on the water like a blossom. In reality, it is made up of multiple tiny islands. Located on the west side of Zhujing town, these 19 islands create breathtaking scenes throughout the year.

In early spring, 40 hectares of plum blossoms blanket the islands like a pristine layer of snow. Visitors can marvel at the delicate white and pink blooms on Mei Xi Xiang Ling, Mei Xiang Qu Jing, and Mei Gong Tan Mei islands, offering a glimpse into the inspiration behind the ancient Chinese poets' verses.

When the maple trees turn golden in autumn, the islands become a fairyland. Even painters would find it difficult to replicate the rich color of this scene. Walking on the tree-lined path, visitors immediately begin to relax.

If you visit the garden in summer, you will be amazed by the exuberant flowers all over the islands.

In early June, lilies, sunflowers and water lilies will blossom one after another, followed by hemerocallis, hydrangeas and verbena bonariensess throughout June and July. When the lotus flowers begin to bloom, it marks the pinnacle of summer.
