Amazing! A hidden niche art museum in Hangzhou Botanical Garden|Just in time for the early autumn bloom of the red spider lily

I heard that the Han Meilin Art Museum has a new exhibition called 'Xu Zhou Bu Xi', which showcases a city walk of West Lake during the Ming Dynasty, capturing the footprints left by scholars and poets of that era. The exhibition is based on 'Hushan Shenggai', mostly consisting of prints and rubbings, but it connects various cultural and historical sites of West Lake during the Ming Dynasty, leaving a profound impact after viewing. What excites me even more is the permanent exhibition in the Han Meilin Art Museum. Han Meilin excels in arts and crafts, and the beauty of his artworks can be deeply felt by every visitor. Especially the famous Buddha head sculpture, which is a popular spot for photos at all times. To avoid the queue, I found some other sculptures in the museum to photograph, which are equally impressive. The exhibition exceeded my expectations, featuring sculptures, calligraphy, large paintings, small paintings... everything you could ask for, all filled with personal style. One cannot help but admire Mr. Han Meilin as a truly versatile artist. His artworks convey a sense of life and power, restraint and freedom, dedication and self, abstract yet concrete, a very intriguing feeling. The museum is located deep within the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, a very special location. The early autumn weather is slightly cooler, and the woods are filled with red spider lilies. The red spider lily, also known as Manjusaka, blooms without leaves, and when the leaves grow, the flowers are gone. Flowers and leaves never meet, always missing each other. But I feel that this is a continuous cycle, you bloom, I shed leaves, it is the continuation of life, inheritance, not separation. 【Some tips】The Han Meilin Art Museum is free and does not require a reservation, but the Botanical Garden charges an entrance fee of 10 yuan (free with the Hangzhou Park Card). Remember, the museum is closed every Tuesday, so don't make a wasted trip.
