In Japan, cherry blossoms \u2013 also known as sakura \u2013 are a symbol of spring and represent peace and transience. But why are they actually blooming in Berlin? After Germany\u2019s reunification, the Japanese television station TV Asahi launched a major fundraising campaign in 1990 to plant Japanese cherry trees as a sign of joy. More than 9,000 trees were funded, many of which were planted in Berlin along the former border strip. The first trees were planted at the Glienicker Bridge, but today you can admire the sea of pink blossoms in many parts of the city. Here are the five most beautiful places to experience this spring spectacle in Berlin.<\/p>\n
