Timeline
16:34
Stop at Ruzhou Pink Skin for a taste of local intangible cultural heritage. These paper-thin mung bean snacks are a Qing Dynasty court favorite, served soft and refreshing. It is a quick bite that fuels you for the walk.
17:04
Walk to the Rose Garden. The walking paths and resting chairs are positioned to frame the view. At 17:04, the golden light hits the rose plantations as the sun sets toward the WSW, turning the blooms into a warm, glowing display. This is the peak moment for photography and quiet appreciation.
17:34
Take a short walk to Xier Binhe Park. The illuminated trails along the riverbank provide a serene way to cool down after the garden. The night lights reflect on the water, offering a peaceful contrast to the bright golden hour you just experienced.
Local tip
The Rose Garden is best visited in spring when the flowers are in full bloom. Bus routes 2 and 5 can take you directly to the garden if you prefer not to walk from the snack shop.
