The Turtle Head Park(Chinese: 鼋头渚; pinyin: yuántóuzhǔ) is a peninsula, of which Taihu Lake surrounds three sides, 18km from the downtown.. The shape of the park is like the head of a turtle, from which it got its name. The park was set up in 1908, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1875-1909) in the Qing Dynasty. Its main scenic parts include the Paradise of Taihu Lake, the Spring Curves of the Turtle Head Park, the Scenic Area at Chong Mountain and so on.

Long Spring Bridge is the first scenic spot of the Turtle Head Park, separating Tai Lake into two parts. The two ends of the bridge are the banks, where are planted Japanese flowering cherries everywhere.

In every April, the Japanese flowering cherries are in blossom, which seems many pink clouds. Therefore, the banks called "the Bank of Flowering Cherries".
