The Jiading Wisteria Garden in Shanghai, one of only three wisteria-themed parks in the world, is now in full bloom. It is at its most beautiful from mid-April to early May.
The garden is home to 95 wisteria plants representing 30 different types, including both Japanese and Chinese varieties. These plants display a stunning array of colors, from traditional purples to delicate whites and pinks.
As the wisteria blossoms unfurl, they hang like cascading waterfalls, creating enchanting floral canopies perfect for photos.
The garden combines both Chinese and Japanese styles. It was created in 1996 through a friendship between Jiading and the town of Wake, Japan. Jiading provided the land, while Wake supplied the wisteria plants. Over the years, additional Japanese varieties have been introduced, enhancing the garden's beauty and diversity.
The blooming garden is a must-see, drawing nature lovers and photographers alike.
