Highlights of Moshan Hill Scenic Area

Cherry Blossom Garden

One of the most renowned attractions in the Moshan Hill Scenic Area is the East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden. Supported by significant contributions from Japan’s Mutsu Oigawa Bank, this garden perfectly marries the classical Chinese garden style with Japanese landscaping techniques. The garden comes alive with the vivid colors of cherry blossoms, resembling a dawn’s first light or a fresh blanket of snow. The highlight of this garden is the Hirosaki Five-story Pagoda, a symbol of the enduring friendship between the Chinese and Japanese people. The garden boasts over 5,000 cherry blossom trees and officially opened to the public in 2001. As the East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden continues to flourish and evolve, it aims to solidify Wuhan’s position as one of the world’s top three cherry blossom destinations, alongside Japan’s Aomori Prefecture and Washington, D.C. in the United States.

Plum Blossom Garden

Another jewel in Moshan Hill’s crown is the East Lake Plum Blossom Garden, which serves as the home of China’s Plum Blossom Research Center. This garden, covering an area of over 800 acres, is the only specialized garden in Wuhan dedicated to the city flower – the plum blossom. The garden is home to more than 320 varieties of plum blossoms, with over 20,000 plum trees gracing its landscape. Additionally, it features a dedicated Ancient Plum Garden spanning 150 acres, housing nearly 200 plum trees that are over a century old, some even dating back 800 years. During the Spring Festival, as the plum blossoms bloom in all their glory, local and international visitors flock to the garden to witness this spectacular sight.

莲花花园

Moshan Hill Scenic Area also houses the East Lake Lotus Garden, serving as the location for the Chinese Lotus Research Center. This garden, occupying a substantial area at the southern foot of Moshan Hill, features over 700 different varieties of lotus flowers in more than 830 individual ponds. With over 200 types of aquatic flowers, including water lilies, this garden is possibly home to the most diverse collection of lotus flower varieties in China and even the world.

Chu Culture Display

Moshan Hill Scenic Area is not only a haven for natural beauty but also a testament to the rich Chu culture of the region. Chu culture, established over nearly a millennium on the lands of Jingchu (Hubei’s ancient name), holds a special place in Chinese history. The scenic area’s Chu culture exhibition features various significant points of interest. These include the magnificent Chu City Gate, an area where Chu people engaged in trade and commerce, a statue of Chu’s legendary progenitor Zhu Rong, Chu Tian Tai (a structure rivaling the famous Three Great Towers of the Jiangnan region), the “World’s Number One Monument”, the largest stone sculpture garden featuring “唯楚有才” (Only Chu Has Talent), and the Southern Nation’s Garden of Philosophical Thought. These sites vividly and intuitively display the profound economic and cultural history and achievements of the ancient Chu Kingdom.

Vlog about Moshan Hill

从评论中总结出的有用提示

Entrances and Attractions: Moshan Hill has two main entrances, the South Gate and the North Gate. If you plan to visit attractions like Donghu Cherry Blossom Garden or the Donghu Ferris Wheel, enter through the South Gate, especially during the cherry blossom season in mid to late March. If you’re only interested in taking the cable car, use the North Gate, as it’s closer to the cable car station. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the South Gate to the cable car station.

交通运输: For the best experience, it’s recommended to take the cable car uphill and enjoy the scenic views. Then, for a thrilling descent, try the toboggan slide. It’s not only fun but also provides an alternative way to enjoy the hill’s beauty as you glide down.

Chutiantai: Make sure to visit Chu Tian Tai (Chu Heaven Terrace) while you’re there. The ticket costs around 20 yuan per person and includes access to a five-story tower where you can enjoy stunning views of Donghu (East Lake). The breeze from the lake adds to the experience, making it a relaxing spot to take in the scenery. Additionally, the ticket includes a chime bell performance, so check the schedule for the timings.

Weather Consideration: Keep in mind that if the weather is nice, the cable car line can get quite long, with an average wait time of about an hour. Plan accordingly and factor in this wait time when scheduling your visit.
