Ethereal Sakura Land: An Immersive Cherry Blossom Wonderland

Ethereal Sakura Land – the themed scenery of SHENZHEN BUJI MIXC ONE’s 7th anniversary, presenting a 1,000㎡ dreamy pink cherry blossom garden at the South Plaza. The project team observed that while March to April is the peak season for cherry blossoms, regions in southern China like Shenzhen do not have a cherry blossom blooming period. Thus, the team planned a large-scale ‘artificial cherry blossom scene’, successfully filling the market gap and achieving breakthroughs in scene innovation and traffic growth.
Inspired by cherry blossoms, clouds, and dreams, Ethereal Sakura Land breaks beyond the limitations of traditional ‘floral art’. By integrating ‘cherry blossoms’ and ‘clouds’ in a unique creative presentation, it crafts a surreal dreamscape. Seven themed photo spots are set up and interconnected to form a highly immersive photo-taking route:
Sakura Avenue serves as the entrance to the scene, with cherry blossom branches intertwining on both sides to form a pink canopy, enhancing the sense of ritual.
Skyward Blush Balloon - a surreal 6-meter-tall giant pink hot air balloon encircled by cherry blossoms, setting the dreamlike tone for the entire scene.
Celestial Petal Shower features a giant cloud installation complemented by falling cherry blossom petals; the cherry blossoms “raining” from the clouds elevates the immersive experience.
Mirror Pavilion is designed as a telephone booth nestled deep within the cherry blossoms, helping add an interactive element.
Other spots also form memorable markers with their unique dreamy styles, becoming self - shareable scene elements.
Besides, the landscape introduced three first-national-wide pop-up stores of XiaoCongShan, OONE CCUP and LITTLE BAKERY•COFFEE. Over 100 brands like GE BAKE and Lingjing Hutong are also invited. These stores deeply integrate with the scenery, launching cherry blossom-limited products and events, enhancing overall interactivity and ambiance.
Online, the marketing team planned interactive hashtags and invited influential bloggers for early check-ins, triggering an immediate popularity upon opening. Since its launch, the scenery has attracted over 100,000 on-site visitors and achieved over 10 million impressions across social media. Ethereal Sakura Land has become the definitive landmark for cherry blossom viewing in Shenzhen.
