🌈✍️Travel Notes📝
1️⃣Went there for the sea of wisteria flowers
2️⃣Last Saturday there was only a small corner, but today it's fully laden with drooping clusters, some varieties have tails that are not fully bloomed, but some are already in full bloom.
3️⃣The surprise this time was seeing wisteria flowers in colors other than purple, there were white ones (with green), pink ones, appearing alternately, very beautiful.
4️⃣Similarly, saw some uncivilized behavior such as pulling on the flower branches for photos, sigh!
5️⃣Also, since it was around four in the afternoon when I arrived, there was no requirement for reservations, not sure if other times require advance booking.
6️⃣What's good about the park is that they stopped us at the entrance, letting people in and out one by one, which managed the flow of visitors well and avoided messy situations, personally I think this practice is good.
‼️Tips: Homework before going out
✅Check the map for travel routes
✅Check business hours, see if you need to make a reservation in advance to avoid a wasted trip
✅When out and about, always remember ♥️Safety First♥️
In the middle of April, there were quite a lot of people in the afternoon of the weekdays. The door was full of cars and people. It was not easy to walk. Many aunts and uncles in the garden took pictures there. The whole garden is not big, it is enough to take pictures for more than half an hour. I am very happy to see a lot of uncommon varieties and uncommon colors. After visiting the park and the ancient town opposite the garden, you can punch in together.
Every year in mid-to-late April, it is the season of the wisteria flowers. A string of flowers are like grapes, which fall from the vine rack, with purple, pink and white. The wisteria garden brings together more than 30 varieties of fine wisteria from all over Japan. Wisteria is a large vine with long life and thick leaves. Before cultivation, build a solid and durable scaffolding, planting in early spring, and tie the rough branches to the rack to help it climb along the rack. Wisteria root is deep, has strong drought resistance, and likes wet soil. In winter, nitrogen fertilizer, calcium perphosphate, etc., compound fertilizer after flowering to meet the growth needs. Cultivation can be used to plant, press strip, sowing, grafting and other methods to reproduce, the key is reasonable pruning and artificial traction to make the branches evenly distributed. The vine flower is beautiful, mainly divided into Chinese wisteria, North American wisteria, Japanese wisteria. Jiading wisteria garden is mainly divided into Japanese multi-flower wisteria, and is divided into mountain vine system, wild field vine system. The mountain vine system has a purple flower beautiful short, red flower beautiful short, white flower beautiful short. The Noda vines flowered in late April to early May, and were divided into purple (from the length of the flowers to the length of the nine-foot vine, six-foot vine, Noda vine, one-year-old vine), pink, and double. Many parks have wisteria corridors, usually can see the vine climbing, to the flower season can see the beauty.
In fact, the Wisteria Garden is not only when the Wisteria flowers can be opened. In different seasons, the Wisteria Garden will also open other varieties of flowers, but there is not much publicity, but the surrounding residents will come to stroll around in their leisure time.
The Wisteria Garden in Jiading is a very famous Wisteria ornamental park in Shanghai. Although the park area is not very large, the variety of Wisteria is very complete. Every mid-to-late April is the flowering period of Wisteria. The park visitors are like weaving. A string of Wisteria flowers falls down. The park is like a purple sea of flowers. It's beautiful.
It is said that there are only four Wisteria-themed parks in the world. The three one? It's really nice to have such a place in Jiading, Shanghai. It's very convenient to have a subway now. To Jiading West Railway Station, take Jiading No. 11. All the buses are middle-aged and old people who go to Wisteria Garden. The park is free, and the cherry blossoms on the roadside at the entrance of the park are very beautiful, but now the blooming season is almost over, and half of the flowers are spent. There is no prosperity of cherry blossoms. Next year, we can also consider cherry blossoms here. Wisteria flower long corridor, Wisteria string hanging down, very beautiful, did not expect the scent of Wisteria so fragrant. The wisteria in this garden is donated by Japanese friends. It is not only purple, but also pink, white and yellow. The garden is small and has a lotus pond. It would be better if there were a small rockery and pavilions in the garden. Not far from the Wisteria Garden is Huilongtan Park, a Chinese garden park, compact and compact, and a good look by the way.
