Plum Blossoms in Century Park

Akin to Japan's cherry blossoms, China brings in spring with plum blossom festivals. We were able to catch one this past weekend in Shanghai's largest park, Century Park, which is located across the river in PuDong. The blossoms were incredible. They came in white, pink, and purple hues and gave off a sweet scent. Beyond that, the park itself was fun for exploring. It has a sizable lake and meandering walking paths. Here are some more pictures: http://hsinchina.shutterfly.com/3832. (The kite, sculpture, and tiger print are all from just outside of the park.) Be sure to check out the impressive lawn sculptures toward the end of the album!
