【日本旅遊】弘前公園（二）櫻花絨毯 Flower Velvet Blankets ⋆ 貓女Teresa

今天要帶大家到日北的東北賞櫻。這次要賞櫻的地點是「弘前公園」，與「角館」和「北上展勝地」並列為東北三大賞櫻勝地，更是全日本三大賞櫻勝地之一。我遊覽此地之後，覺得當真不負盛名。

Today I will take you to visit the northeastern of Japan for cherry blossom. This time we will visit Hirosaki Park which is as the three northeast sakura scenic spots with Kakunodate and Katsuzakura, and one of the top three sakura scenic spots in the whole of Japan. After I visited here, I really feel it worths visiting for sure.

弘前公園又名鷹揚公園（鷹揚園），位於青森縣南方的弘前市，佔地約49.2公頃，櫻花種類有染井吉野櫻、八重洪垂枝櫻、枝垂櫻等五十餘種品種。園內有弘前城的遺跡，還種有2600多株的櫻花，其中100年以上樹齡的櫻花樹就有超過300株。不論是想要觀賞古城遺跡，或是體驗落英繽紛的無敵美景，都值得到此造訪。
弘前的櫻花數量開得比其他地方飽滿，據說是因為青森縣乃青蘋果盛產地，而種植蘋果的技術運用到了種植櫻花上，所以弘前的櫻花特別繁華茂盛，弘前公園也成了日本重要的觀光資源。

Hirosaki Park is located in Hirosaki City, south of Aomori Prefecture, covering an area of approximately 49.2 hectares. There are more than 50 species of sakura blossoms, also planted more than 2,600 strains of sakura blossoms. There are more than 300 strains of sakura blossoms which is more than 100 years old.
The number of sakura is more abundant than in other places. Because Aromori County abounds with green apple and the technique is used to grow sakura. So Hirosaki sakura is particularly prosperous. Hirosaki Park has become an important Japanese tourism resource.

還未進到弘前公園裡面，光是沿著公園外圍的步道，就可以看到整排的櫻花樹開得正燦爛，可想見公園內的櫻花會生得如何動人。
櫻花盛開的季節，不只是外國遊客慕名而來，日本當地人也會到弘前公園內野餐。我在路上看到穿著和服的日本女子，跟河邊的櫻花相映成趣，仿若回到古代的日本，充滿了古典優雅的情懷。

Before entering the park, you can see that the whole row of sakura trees is in full bloom, and you can imagine how beautiful the sakura blossoms will be in the park. The season when Sakura is in full bloom, Japanese locals will go to the park for picnics and enjoy the blossoms. I see girls wearing the kimonos outside of the park matching the blossoms by the river. It looks like they return to ancient Japan which is full of classical elegance.

賞櫻時，除了研究櫻花品種之外，還有所謂的「櫻花八美圖」：花隧道、花吹雪、花絨毯、花筏、花吹堆、花倒影、冰雪櫻、夜櫻等，每一種都是令人屏息的優美景致。
這次我們有幸看到花絨毯，也就是花筏。在櫻花季的後期，櫻花花瓣大量飄落在河面上，形成一大片的絨毯，也因為大片櫻花毯在河面載浮載沉，又被稱作花筏。一個櫻花季只有幾天才看得到花絨毯，得恰巧符合天時地利才有緣得見。
頭一次看到花絨毯的美景，完全在自己的想像之外，沒有想到群櫻飛舞之後會形成如此奇特的景象，讓我驚訝得合不攏嘴。

In addition to studying sakura blossom varieties, there are also so-called “eight beautiful pictures of sakura blossoms”: flower tunnels, flower snowflakes, flower velvet blankets, flower raft, flowers blowing piles, reflecting flowers, snow and ice sakura, night sakura, and so on, each of which is breathtaking and beautiful.
We are lucky to see the flower velvet blankets, also called flower rafts this time.
In the late blossoms season, the sakura petals fall in large numbers on the river, forming a large pile of flower velvet blankets. Due to the floating and sinking of a large number of sakura petals on the river surface, also known as flower rafts. You only have a couple of days of the blossoms season to get the chance to see such a beautiful scenery.
It’s the first time I see the beautiful scenery of flower velvet blanket. It is completely beyond my imagination which makes me so exciting.
