Elegant, Not Garish: The Quintessential Chinese Architectural Accent - The Magnolia

In mid-March, Beijing's most popular flower is undoubtedly the magnolia. The white magnolia blooms earlier than the purple magnolia. Its buds are slender and graceful, and when in full bloom, they resemble wind chimes. Why are there so many magnolias around ancient buildings? Magnolias are noble and elegant, symbolizing good fortune and happiness, making them well-suited to the atmosphere of ancient architecture. 🌸Recommended route: "Magnolia photo shoot that can be completed by 8-to-5 workers in one hour" 1. Arrive at Pudu Temple at 6:30 am, take photos freely with no crowds, no reservation or ticket required. 2. After shooting, walk five minutes to the east gate of the Working People's Cultural Palace at 7 am. 3. Tickets to the Working People's Cultural Palace cost CNY 2. Enter the gate, turn left, and walk 200 meters to see the magnolias. 4. At this time, there are few people at the entrance of the Taimiao, so you can take photos freely for half an hour. 5. Take your time and finish shooting at 8 am, then have breakfast and still have plenty of time to go to work. 🌸Suggestions: 1. A ladder at the entrance of the Taimiao will help you take better photos. 2. There are not many spots for taking photos in either location, so it is best to capture everything in one go.

The best place to spend $12 in Beijing. It's hard for me to describe a place as shocking.
