“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb. While this proverb speaks to opportunities in general, it aptly applies to planning your dream trip to see cherry blossoms in bloom. While you may have missed their peak in Japan, did you know that Hong Kong offers its own unique cherry blossom experience?
A City Adorned in Pink
While not as widely known for its sakura season as Japan, Hong Kong boasts its own charm when the cherry trees are in bloom. The city comes alive with bursts of delicate pink and white flowers, painting a vibrant contrast against the modern skyline.
Where to Find Sakura in Hong Kong
- New Territories: Venture to the New Territories, specifically the Hong Kong Gold Coast Yacht & Country Club, known for its spectacular display of cherry blossoms. Imagine strolling along the waterfront promenade, the gentle breeze carrying the sweet scent of sakura through the air.
- Urban Parks: Even amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, you can find pockets of tranquility where cherry trees flourish. Kowloon Park and Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens offer a more urban cherry blossom experience. Picture yourself taking a break from shopping and finding yourself immersed in the beauty of a blooming cherry tree.
