"Here's a guide map, which says that I dreamed of returning to the garden in the spring and flowers. You can experience the traditional customs of the Flower Dynasty Festival and unlock the Flower Dynasty Atlas of Yu Garden. Ms. Cao, a tourist from Zhengzhou, walked into Yu Garden from Gate 7 of Fangbang Middle Road and was attracted by the "Hundred Flowers Blessed Land" in front of Huabao Building in the central square. "The first time I came to Yu Garden, I checked in all the way from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street to Yu Garden, and after the lights were turned on in the evening, I walked from Yu Garden to the Bund. ”
In front of Huabao Building, the peony flower sea is the source of the blessed land, but the peony fairy is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with the graceful posture of "rebounding pipa", blessing every visitor who wanders in the sea of flowers. The "Flower Playing Playground" echoes from afar, adding a touch of fun to the spring scene. An ingenious spring peony makeup, a tailor-made bookmark picture, and a unique life paint fan, play tricks, visit the flower market, and enjoy the relaxation of the experience. During the Flower Dynasty Festival, the "Flower Dynasty Amusement Park" will also be transformed into a public welfare market for the second time.

From Huabao Building to the "Fuyu Flower Sea" next to the Lake Pavilion of Jiuquqiao to seek beauty, many citizens and tourists took photos and checked in on the spot, including many overseas tourists. A foreign tourist said that a family of four and their relatives and friends gathered in Shanghai from all over the world and came to Yu Garden to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Mid-Spring Flower Festival.
"Fuyu Flower Sea" combines the blooming posture of a hundred flowers in the Song Dynasty ink brush painting "Hundred Flowers Picture Scroll" with the twelve seasonal flower totems of the Jiuqu Bridge, and the century-old Jiuqu Bridge is built into a blessed land of flowers and purple and red. The flowers and vines in the lake stretch out, the branches are surrounded, and the peonies, rhododendrons, gardenias, hibiscus and other flowers bloom, and the flowers are full of flowers. But I saw a giant peony blooming on the side of the pavilion in the center of the lake, the petals flew around the stamen, and the heart of the flower was full of vitality and joy, which meant "blooming for yourself". When night falls, the surface of Jiuqu Lake is sparkling, the light shadow and the flower shadow are intertwined, the hundred-year-old Jiuquqiao Lake Center Pavilion, the ancient flower god peony, paint a dream-like fantasy scene, full of wealth, auspiciousness, beautiful meaning.

Then come to the Golden Plaza, in front of the Rong Building, "stepping on the spring to find butterflies" to find goodness. The Golden Plaza, known as a place of prayer, is decorated with three giant butterfly flower walls, which are decorated with various flowers and flowers on which visitors can write their wishes and blessings. Next to the butterfly flower language wall, the flying petals are scattered into a "rich flower blooming" blessing road, which winds to the front of the Nine Lions Tower, and every step is taken, and a rich flower language is set foot step by step, and flowers are born step by step. Climb the stairs, meaning step by step, flowers bloom and wealth. After passing through the corridor on the second floor, you can enter the elegant and fragrant realm of "Pine Art Space", and you can find the "Yu Garden in the Sky" and "the most beautiful blooming terrace".

The peony fairy will also lead the flower fairies to interpret the blessing and auspiciousness, shuttling between the three theme scenery, using dance as the medium and flowers as the media, sprinkling truth, goodness and beauty to the world. In front of the pavilion in the center of the lake, the peony fairy boarded the "one leaf flat boat", the small boat entered the spring waves, the green was green, and the man danced in the light and shadow of the layers, showing the spring scene in the south of the Yangtze River.
