Fallen cherry blossoms are left on Jiangwancheng Road for the first time to brighten the street with a pink blanket. This is Shanghai’s first street to leave the fallen flowers uncollected during the day. The 700-meter road is the city’s first cherry blossom boulevard and it’s lined with 264 cherry trees featuring large petals and brilliant colors.
