Location & How to Get There

Cherry Blossom Island Eco-Park is tucked away in a peaceful village called Sikou, part of Chaoyang Township in Guilin’s Qixing District. The address might sound tricky, but it’s worth the journey! To reach here, you can either drive yourself (use a GPS app with the address: No. 84, Sikou Village, Yaji Village Committee, Chaoyang Township) or take a taxi from central Guilin. If you’re up for a local adventure, some buses drop you close enough, and you can walk the rest—just ask the driver for “Si Gong Cun” and they’ll point you in the right direction.

Natural Scenery: A Colorful Escape

At Cherry Blossom Island Eco-Park, nature steals the show. Depending on the season, you’ll find fields bursting with flowers—especially cherry blossoms in spring, which give the park its name. Even outside blooming season, there’s plenty to admire: lush greenery, small lakes, and winding paths that feel miles away from the city hustle. Bring your camera for endless photo ops, especially near the flower fields or by the water. Pro tip: Visit on a sunny day for the best vibes!

Cultural Touches: Farm Life Made Fun

This place isn’t just about pretty views—it’s also a window into rural Guilin life. You’ll see local farmers growing plants and herbs, and you can even try your hand at traditional activities. For example, head to the “leisure picking” area to grab fresh veggies or fruits straight from the garden. The farmhouse restaurant serves up authentic local dishes, like stewed chicken and river fish—think rustic flavors without the touristy twist. It’s a chance to connect with Guilin’s countryside charm.

Activities for Everyone

Cherry Blossom Island Eco-Park has something for every traveler. Feeling active? Rent a bike to explore the trails or try fishing in the calm ponds. Families with kids will love the BBQ zones (bring your own meat or buy local supplies!) and the open spaces for running around. If you’re traveling with a group, the park offers team-building games and challenges—perfect for bonding. For a relaxing time, grab a picnic blanket and unwind by the lake.

Practical Perks: Clean & Friendly

Don’t worry about amenities—this eco-park lives up to its name. Clean restrooms, shaded seating areas, and parking lots make it hassle-free. The staff are super friendly and often help guests with activities, even if you don’t speak Chinese. Plus, everything’s labeled in both English and Chinese, so you’ll never feel lost.

My Trip Highlights

During my visit, I spent hours wandering the flower fields, then tried my luck fishing (I caught a tiny fish—still proud!). The BBQ lunch we cooked was messy but delicious, and ending the day with a stroll by the cherry trees made it feel like a movie. Whether you’re here for Instagram shots, family fun, or a break from tourist crowds, Cherry Blossom Island Eco-Park delivers. Just remember to wear comfy shoes and sunscreen—there’s no shade on those flower paths!

Note: Cherry Blossom Island Eco-Park is open year-round, but spring and autumn offer the best weather. Entrance fees are affordable, and some activities might have small extra charges—always check ahead!
