"Who knows who cut out the delicate leaves? The February spring breeze is like scissors." When the gentle spring breeze of February blows, and willow catkins quietly sprout tender green buds, Hangzhou welcomes the romantic season of plum blossoms in full bloom. The most wonderful way to appreciate plum blossoms is to see them with some buds, filling your heart with anticipation for their full bloom. After the plum blossoms, magnolias and cherry blossoms will continue to decorate Hangzhou. Strolling around West Lake in spring, the scenery is picturesque, and you won't be able to stop taking photos. In fact, West Lake is beautiful in all four seasons, each with its own unique charm. If you also want to embark on a plum blossom viewing trip this spring, you can refer to these two-day itineraries: - DAY 1: Visit Hangzhou Botanical Garden and Quyuan Fenghe in the morning, and head to Xixi Wetland in the afternoon for a romantic encounter with nature. - DAY 2: Start from the King Qian Memorial Hall, visit Jingci Temple, Yuhu Bay, and Huien Korean Temple in turn, and finally arrive at Xuefang to explore the hidden beauty of plum blossoms. Next, let me introduce these 8 hidden gems for plum blossom viewing in detail: Jingci Temple: Entering from the main gate, you'll find potted plum blossoms in various poses in the courtyard on the right, each like a meticulously crafted artwork. Walk to the top hall, and down from the right, a small plum blossom path comes into view. Turn around, and you can frame the plum blossom path and the ancient buildings together in your camera, capturing the ancient charm and rich flavor. Hangzhou Botanical Garden: I highly recommend entering from the Qingzhiwu Gate. Just a few steps away, you'll reach the Pinmei Garden, where numerous plum blossoms with curved branches stretch freely, full of unique magic. Then, head to Lingfeng to explore the plum blossoms and experience their quiet elegance. Finally, you can check in at the Han Meilin Art Museum's Buddha Head and exit from the South Gate, completing a perfect visit.

There are seats on the corridor, which are also excellent spots for taking photos. Huien Korean Temple: If you arrive late, note that the park closes at 4:30 pm. The temple's yellow walls complement the plum blossoms perfectly. Although time is limited, you can still take stunning photos in just 10 minutes. If you have plenty of time, stroll around leisurely to experience its tranquility and beauty. Xuefang: Stroll along the small river, where the water is as green as a mirror, reflecting the scenery on the shore. Beside a thatched cottage, white plum blossoms bloom quietly, exuding an ancient charm, making it particularly suitable for taking photos in ancient costumes. Xixi Wetland: Due to my tight schedule, I chose Hangzhou Botanical Garden and didn't go to Xixi Wetland. However, I heard that the plum blossoms there are equally beautiful, and you can even take a boat to appreciate them. The entrance fee is 80 yuan. If you have been to Xixi Wetland for plum blossom viewing, please share your beautiful photos with me! Quyuan Fenghe: Although not mentioned much, this is also a good place for plum blossom viewing in spring. Quyuan Fenghe is famous for its lotus blossoms in full bloom. In spring, the blooming plum blossoms offer a different kind of charm and are worth a visit.

There are two smart routes to visit West Lake, Hangzhou: Nanshan Road and Gushan Road. This article is about Nanshan Road, West Lake. 🌟Highlights: See the artistic academy and historical buildings of the Republic of China, and the Ten Scenes of West Lake, including Orioles Singing in the Willows and Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset. 📍Bus stop: Qianwang Temple ⏰Recommended time: Afternoon This way, you can see the sunset at the Leifeng Pagoda Observation Deck, and enjoy the scene of Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset. 🗓Itinerary: Route: China Academy of Art - Leifeng Pagoda China Academy of Art: Opposite Qianwang Temple 👉Henglu Art Museum: Built in the Republic of China, free admission. If you happen to come across a good exhibition, you can go in and have a look. 👉Little Yellow Building: Built in the Republic of China, it was a private residence, and later became the office of the Central News Agency and Xinhua News Agency. Now it is a British afternoon tea shop, and the price is not too high. 👉Goushan Qiaoshe Ruins: The residence of a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty. You can take a short walk inside, and then cross the road to see one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, Orioles Singing in the Willows. 👉Orioles Singing in the Willows: Cross the road to the opposite side, enter the West Lake Scenic Area from Orioles Singing in the Willows, and navigate to Xiying Pavilion, a wonderful place to see Leifeng Pagoda from afar. 👉Leifeng Pagoda: Walk south along West Lake to the Leifeng Pagoda Ruins, and see the exquisite carvings of Leifeng Pagoda up close. If you have the energy, you can climb the pagoda, where you can see the ruins and the excavation process, and see West Lake from the top of the pagoda, but it is physically demanding. If you don't want to climb the pagoda, you can go around to the Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset Observation Deck on the left side of the pagoda. 👉If you still have the energy, you can continue along the road to the public route to Su Causeway. When I went there, it was already dark, and I saw the light and shadow of West Lake on Su Causeway, which is a unique way to visit the public route. (I have been to West Lake many times, but I still recommend seeing the scenery during the day for the first time.)

If you're considering visiting Hangzhou during the Spring Festival, don't miss it! ‼️Opening hours: Plum blossoms in Hangzhou bloom from late January to early March.

Hangzhou is definitely a great place to enjoy autumn. Walking along the West Lake, you can see cultural relics everywhere. Although it is late autumn, the maple leaves are not red and the ginkgo leaves are not yellow, so the autumn scenery is not quite there yet. . Walking into the Liulang Wenying Scenic Area, there are two rows of green willows by the lake, and the birds seem to be more lively than in other places. Walking into the archway of Chengming Lake, this is Qianwang Temple. . ⭐Historical background of the attraction In 907 AD, the Tang Dynasty fell, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period began. In the third year of the Later Liang Longde (923), Qianluo of Lin'an established the Wuyue Kingdom (now all of Zhejiang and parts of Jiangsu and Fujian), with the capital in Xifu (now Hangzhou). The Qian family passed the throne to three generations and five kings, ruling Hangzhou for more than 90 years, and long pursued the policy of "protecting the territory and securing the people." In the third year of Taiping Xingguo (978), Qian Hongjiao, the king of Wuyue, "surrendered to the Song Dynasty," and the land of one army and thirteen states was incorporated into the Song Dynasty's territory, which was of great significance to the people. In the tenth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1077), Zhao Pu, the governor of Hangzhou, was moved by the achievements of the Wuyue Qianwang, and built the "Biaozhong Temple" on Yuhuang Mountain to worship Qianwang. In the 39th year of the Ming Jiajing period, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, changed the Lingzhi Temple by the West Lake to the Biaozhong Temple. In 2002, Qianwang Temple was rebuilt, and the scenic area has a stele pavilion, a sacrificial hall, a hall of meritorious officials, a hall of five kings, a hall of Huai Shen, a hall of Lan Yuan, a hall of Qingxi, a hall of Yue Li, and so on. 💢Attraction features 1⃣️A copper sacrificial hall on the square is particularly eye-catching. It is made of 36 tons of copper, 8.4 meters high, in the style of the Song Dynasty, and is the largest copper hall in China. Looking up inside, the caisson on the top is particularly exquisite. 2⃣️The leaves of the two ginkgo trees have only turned a little yellow, and the huge banner of "Lai Qian" looks festive, which is also quite suitable for the meaning of the Qian family. 3⃣️In front of the Five Kings Hall, there is a restored city gate of Qiantang Gate, and the halls on both sides are historical introductions and exhibitions about the Wuyue Kingdom. 4⃣️The Five Kings Hall is the largest main building in Qianwang Temple, with a pool in front of the door, and the last two water lilies are still in bloom. 5⃣️Inside the Five Kings Hall are the statues of the founding emperor Qian Liu and his four sons, as well as the historical introduction of the Wuyue Kingdom.

The Qian Wang Temple was originally built during the Northern Song Dynasty (in the year 1077 AD) and was formerly known as Biao Zhong Guan, dedicated to the worship of three generations and five kings of the Qian family. The temple was initially called 'Biao Zhong Guan' in the early Song Dynasty, but it has been commonly referred to as the Qian Wang Temple since the Qing Dynasty. In 2003, while preserving the original relics, and in coordination with the West Lake water landscape, the Qian Wang Temple was rebuilt. It has become a garden attraction on the southern route of West Lake that integrates sightseeing, cultural display, and historical research, as well as an important base for the study of the culture of the Wu Yue region. The scenic name 'Qian Ci Biao Zhong' not only reflects the everlasting gratitude of the Hangzhou people for the merits of the Qian kings but also showcases the profound historical and cultural heritage of West Lake.

The beauty of Hangzhou is beyond words. Walking from Jixian Pavilion and Yongjin Gate to Liulang Wenying, the azure sky merges with the water. The moonlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the lake, as if stepping into a large piece of clear sapphire. At the entrance of the Qianwang Temple, there are still clusters of lotus leaves from the end of summer in the pond. A few steps further is the Cuiguang Pavilion, which used to be the dock for the imperial boat tour, and countless literati have written poems here. This is my second visit to Hangzhou after a decade. Hangzhou was born around the lake, and the entire city is full of romance and aura because of the lake. It once belonged to Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Yue Fei, and also to Su Xiaoxiao, Zhu Yingtai, Bai Niangzi... and my lover also grew up here. I love this city because he exists. On the return journey, looking at the passing lights and shadows outside the window, I gave my heart to it.
