The spring breeze has swept through Scotland's capital, and Edinburgh's streets and alleys have been transformed into a palette of pink, white, and gold. The 2025 spring flower viewing season has officially begun. \\\Essential Flower Viewing Spots/// 🧡The Meadows: Stroll through a 400-year-old cherry blossom tunnel🧡 【Flowering Period】：Late April to mid-May (As of April 10, the latest update shows that 30% of the cherry blossoms in The Meadows have entered the initial flowering stage) 【Features】：The Cherry Walk, designed by Thomas Hope in 1722, features double and single-petal cherry trees over 300 years old, forming a 1.2-kilometer pink tunnel. In the morning mist, falling petals resemble snowflakes, while in the evening, the setting sun filters through the branches, creating an oil-painting-like scene. 🧡Edinburgh Castle: A flower viewing feast against the backdrop of the castle🧡 【Flowering Period】：Late April to mid-May 【Location】：Directly below Edinburgh Castle, in the middle section of Princes Street 【Features】：With the medieval towers of Edinburgh Castle as a natural frame, the pink cherry blossoms create a striking contrast against the gray stone walls. We recommend taking panoramic photos near the Ross Fountain on the east side of the garden, capturing the castle and the sea of flowers in the same frame, a classic "Edinburgh postcard" shot. 🧡Princes Street Gardens: A sea of tulips at the foot of the castle🧡 【Flowering Period】：Around April 15 to May 10 【Variety Upgrade】：100,000 new Dutch tulips have been planted this year. 🧡Royal Mile: Weeping cherry blossoms beneath Gothic spires🧡 【Flowering Period】：Late April to mid-May 【Location】：Middle section of the Royal Mile, Canongate Kirk 【Features】：The Gothic spire of Canongate Kirk creates a striking contrast with the pink cherry blossoms. The church, built in 1691, offers a recommended photo spot from the steps at the main entrance, framing the cherry blossoms against the 17th-century sandstone architecture. This spring, let's immerse ourselves in Edinburgh's sea of flowers and experience the 400-year dialogue between plants and the city.
