🌳February 23, Sunny. Stepping into the Hangzhou West Lake Tea Museum Park felt like entering a crimson spring dream. The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, about 80% open, their branches stretching freely. The fiery red blossoms sway gently in the breeze, bringing the unique romance of spring. 📍【Address】：Shuangfeng Branch of the China National Tea Museum, Hangzhou (After entering, there's a steep slope. White plum blossoms are on the right side of the slope. Walk to the end of the slope, turn left, and keep going to see the red plum blossoms.) 🎫【Tickets】：Free admission, but it's closed on Tuesdays, so don't go on a Tuesday! 🚗【Transportation】：Take bus No. 87 or No. 27 to "Shuangfeng Station." It's about a 300-meter walk from there. You might encounter other small delights of spring along the way. ⏰【Opening Hours】：Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00–16:30. For stunning lighting, go early in the morning when the sunlight bathes the petals in a soft, translucent glow. 📸【Photo Spots】： Giant Plum Blossom Tree: As the "star" of the Tea Museum Park, this ancient plum blossom king has a long history and abundant blossoms. The profusion of flowers resembles pink clouds. Standing beneath the tree, with the blossoms as a backdrop, portraits and close-ups are exquisite. Paths within the Tea Museum Park: Stroll along the winding paths lined with blooming red plum blossoms, complementing the white walls and black tiles of the Jiangnan gardens. Every shot captures the poetic charm of spring in Jiangnan. Jiamu Garden: Here, tea trees and plum blossoms complement each other. Photos taken amidst the fragrance of tea and plum blossoms have a unique charm. 📷【Photography Tips】： Utilize Light and Shadow: In the early morning or late afternoon, the light is soft. Side lighting can highlight the texture and three-dimensionality of the plum blossoms, creating more artistic photos. Low-Angle Shots: Crouch down and shoot from a low angle, using the blue sky as a backdrop and avoiding crowds, to make the plum blossoms appear even more vibrant. Use Foreground Elements: Use plum blossom branches as foreground elements to add depth and enhance the beauty of your photos. ✅【Important Notes】： Protect the Flowers and Plants: Don't pick flowers or trample on the lawn. Appreciate the plum blossoms responsibly and preserve the beauty for others. Dress Appropriately: Light-colored, traditional Chinese clothing is recommended, such as a white Hanfu or a light blue cheongsam, which complements the atmosphere of the red plum blossoms and the gardens, making for stunning photos. Check the Weather: Check the weather forecast in advance. While appreciating plum blossoms in the rain has its own charm, sunny days offer better lighting for taking beautiful photos. Note the Closing Time: Entry is not allowed after 16:30. Plan your time wisely to avoid missing out. The red plum blossoms are vibrant, and spring is in the air. Come to the Tea Museum Park to capture this touch of spring and preserve your own beautiful spring memories!
