本市即将迎来赏樱季 - 2017年02月16日

NOW is the time to relish the cherry blossom in the city’s parks.

The first wave of cherry blossom has flowered at Shanghai Botanical Garden — the earliest for nearly 20 years.

“The warm mild temperature this winter is the major reason for the early flowering, which advanced two weeks compared with last year,” said Zhu Jijun, a cherry blossom expert at the garden.
