　　The facilities for night flower viewing have also been upgraded. With the innovative incorporation of sound, light, fog and other effects, a dreamlike cherry sea atmosphere is created alongside the landmark buildings there.

　　该园夜间赏花全新升级，运用声、光、雾等技术手段进行创意设计，呈现梦幻的樱海。

　　In addition, the cherry blossom fair is also in full swing, displaying the cherry blossom-themed cultural and creative products produced by Wuhan craftsmen. In the newly unveiled Xiaoying Post Office, tourists can not only buy cultural and creative products, but also mail postcards to relatives and friends or to their future selves, and get a bag of cherry seeds in return.

　　此外，还有樱花市集集中展示武汉手工艺人创作的樱花主题文创产品。在全新亮相的小樱邮局，游客不仅可以购买特色文创，还可以把明信片邮寄给八方亲友或是未来的自己，同时获赠一袋樱花种子。
