Spring has arrived in Hangzhou, bringing crowds to the city's blooming hotspots.

To make flower viewing easier and more hassle-free, Hangzhou has launched dedicated bus routes for a smooth, scenic ride.

Cherry blossom shuttle – Bus 139 (West Lake Metro Shuttle Line 4) connects Shuichengqiao Station (Metro Line 4) and Wujian Road Station (Metro Line 1), passing through Taiziwan Park, Children's Park, and Baita Park – ideal for cherry blossoms, magnolias, and tulips. Some buses have even been given a springtime makeover!

Tulip express – Running until April 13, this special bus departs from Houchaomen Metro Station and takes passengers directly to Taiziwan Park in just 15 minutes, bypassing traffic via the Wansongling Tunnel.

Jingshan flower shuttle – Jingshan Flower Sea, one of Hangzhou's most famous flower fields, is now easier to reach! The seasonal bus from Liangzhu Metro Station (Line 2) runs on weekends and holidays until June 2, offering a direct trip to the stunning floral landscape.

No traffic, no parking worries – just sit back and enjoy Hangzhou's beautiful spring!
