Things to Do in Shanghai in March

It is the best time enjoying peach blossoms. Each year, Longhua Pagoda holds temple fair on 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month, when the peaches are in full blossom. It is great to experience folk culture and enjoy beautiful scenery in fine weather. Dianfeng Village in Zhujiajiao is a close rival. More than 600 acres of peach trees present a sea of flowers. There are many newly-developed species. You may also get to visiting Peach Blossom Bay.

Other Tips

If you are allergic to pollen, other attractions, such as Yu Garden, Wild Animal Park and Happy Valley are friendlier. People with allergy are advised to wear a mask and take anti-allergic medication before going out, and wash their hands on coming back. It is the month of interchanging seasons, a likely time for the flu, so be hygienic, get the habit of frequent hand washing. Carry your cold medicine. Always be weather conscious on planning a tour. Damp mornings and evenings make it inhospitable to watch peach blossoms. Do avoid such time.
