For whatever reasons you’ve been waiting for, like me, for one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year, one decade…or even longer, get motivated from the fragrance of plum blossoms coming from bitter coldness.

Time is not an issue with me as an alone traveler, so I’m taking a more cost-efficient route to Xiangxue Park. (Note: Xiangxue Park is located in Luogang district, about 40 km from Guangzhou Railway Station.)
Transportation: Take metro line 5 from Guangzhou Railway Station, and get off at Wenchong metro station. (About an hour)
Take bus No. 943 from Wenchong Market bus stop, and get off at the last bus stop: Xiangxue Park. (Note: 30 minutes a bus, it takes about an hour)

PS: Plum blossoms at Xiangxue Park are only available from January to earlier February.
Actually it took me about 2 hours and a half travelling from Guangzhou Railway Station to Xiangxue Park, but it really worth.
Finally I arrived at the main gate of Xiangxue Park.
At first sight, it was really impressive and breathtaking. Basically, there are two kinds of plums at Xiangxue Park: white plums and pink plums, that’s what I categorized them according to colors. Officially, the white plum is called Guomei, and the pink one Chaotang Gongfen, as shown on the above pictures.
I love the white plums for their pureness.
The pink ones are also so lovely, reminding me of pink ladies.
If you are looking for more fun, then don’t miss the strawberry plantations nearby, where you can pick strawberries and take home.
Don’t forget to give yourself a great treat at the snack street offering a full range of tempting snacks if you are not planning to stay hungry for a 2.5-hour journey back the city center of Guangzhou.
