A gentle spring breeze awakens the plum blossom-viewing DNA of Hangzhou residents! When it comes to the best plum blossom viewing spots in Hangzhou, Lingfeng must be on the list. Here, centuries-old plum trees bloom freely, and thousands of plum blossoms compete for attention, creating a grand floral spectacle. Today, we'll share some secret routes with fewer crowds and more blossoms, along with exclusive photography tips. After reading this, you'll gain ten years' worth of plum blossom viewing experience in seconds. Save this now! 👇 Locals' Secret Route Qingzhiwu Entrance → Pinmei Garden (1 hr) → Yaotai (Overlooking the sea of flowers) → Seven Star Ancient Plum (0.5 hr) → Lamei Garden (Fragrance) → Yuquan Yuyue Exit Important Reminder: Entering through the Qingzhiwu side gate can save you 20 minutes compared to the main entrance, allowing you to start your plum blossom viewing journey effortlessly! Recommended Viewing Spots - Grassland Plum Blossoms: Red and white plum blossoms intertwine on the lawn, forming a plum grove. Many families bring picnic blankets to bask in the sun and enjoy a relaxing time. Here, panoramic photos are ideal, capturing the vast expanse of blossoms and the beauty of spring. - Pinmei Garden: Carefully arranged pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions complement the plum blossoms, creating an elegant scene. As the main plum blossom viewing area, it naturally attracts the most visitors. Don't miss this unique elegance. - Seven Star Ancient Plum: Located at the highest point of the route, this area is quieter and less crowded than Pinmei Garden. Legend has it that the plum trees were planted by monks from Lingfeng Temple. After centuries, only seven clusters remain, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, full of charm. Photography Tips for Stunning Shots - Pinmei Garden East Wall Moon Gate: Frame the plum blossoms through the moon gate, with Yaotai in the background. Press the shutter, and a poetic image is captured. - Seven Star Plum Viewing Pavilion Stone Bench: Sit on the stone bench and take a downward shot of your feet and the fallen blossoms. No need to show your face; the atmosphere is enough to create a stunning photo. - Lamei Garden Bamboo Fence: Use backlight to photograph the petals, which appear translucent like colored glass. The bokeh creates golden light spots, dreamy and enchanting. Things to Avoid - Weekend Visits: After 10 am on weekends, Pinmei Garden becomes extremely crowded. It's recommended to do the opposite, heading to the summit first to avoid the crowds and enjoy a leisurely viewing experience. - Parking Tips: Parking at Qingzhiwu costs 20 yuan/hour, which is not cost-effective. Consider parking at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center. Although it requires a 15-minute walk, it can save you a lot on parking fees. - Respectful Viewing: Please do not touch the centuries-old plum trees! Some fences have humorous "Bad Luck Transfer Warning" signs. Please be respectful and appreciate these precious plum blossoms. Transportation Guide - Tickets: 10 yuan (free entry with a park card). Opening hours are 6:30 am - 5:30 pm. - Transportation: Take Metro Line 3, exit at Huanglongdong Station (Exit C), and it's a convenient 10-minute bike ride to the garden.

▪️The chrysanthemum exhibition mostly features artificial landscapes and various chrysanthemum shapes. The flowers themselves didn't particularly amaze me, but this year's set design is quite innovative, incorporating Hangzhou's city features, such as the Ten Scenes of West Lake, City Balcony, and Fuyi Warehouse. The Silk Road Fairytale section was especially eye-catching. ▪️The chrysanthemums along the road from the north gate and the Yuquan Fish Leaping bonsai area haven't fully bloomed yet. It will take a few more days. The large shaped chrysanthemums are almost in full bloom. ▪️Most visitors are middle-aged and elderly people, with fewer young people. Perhaps older generations appreciate chrysanthemums and these colorful, uniquely shaped landscapes more. I personally prefer natural landscapes and am not particularly fond of artificial ones. However, since Hangzhou's autumn scenery hasn't arrived yet, joining the fun is a good option. 🎟Tickets: 10 yuan (free with park card or senior card) ⚠️Free entry before 8:00 am and after 4:30 pm 📆Exhibition period: Oct 26–Nov 24 🚍Transportation: 🚇Subway Line 3, Exit B of Huanglong Sports Center Station, transfer to bus 1003M to Qingzhiwu Station, then walk 200 meters to the north gate of the botanical garden. 🚎Bus No. 7 or 7W to Botanical Garden Station, then walk 200 meters to the south gate. 🚗Driving: Navigate to the north gate parking lot of the botanical garden (10 yuan/hour). Driving is not recommended during the chrysanthemum exhibition due to heavy traffic and potential congestion. 👣Chrysanthemum viewing route: Enter from the north gate 🔄 Exit from the south gate North Gate➡️Paperbark Maple➡️Fish Paradise➡️Yuquan Fish Leaping➡️Plant Resources Museum➡️Economic Plants Area➡️Han Meilin Art Museum➡️South Gate 🌈Tips: 1. Don't miss the Yuquan Corridor, which houses over 1,400 pots of rare chrysanthemum varieties. 2. It's best to visit in early November. By late November, some flowers will have withered, making the display less appealing. 3. For portrait photos, arrive before 8:00 am. After 8:00 am, it gets crowded. Weekends attract more young people, while weekdays see more seniors.

Travel Experience Review: Family, who understands! I recently went to Qingzhiwu in Hangzhou, and it was like walking into a vivid ancient painting. "Want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable." The beauty of Hangzhou is vividly displayed in Qingzhiwu. In the morning, I strolled along the path, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, as if the brilliance of history was guiding me. There are ancient buildings with white walls and black tiles here, as if telling the prosperity of ancient times. I first went to Lingfeng Tanmei in Qingzhiwu. It is said that this place was a favorite spot for poets and scholars to appreciate plum blossoms in ancient times. Imagine, in ancient times, talented scholars and beautiful ladies reciting poems and matching verses here, how elegant. At noon, I tasted the local specialties, and the taste was simply amazing! In the afternoon, I went to Shihushan. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the entire Qingzhiwu, at that moment, I felt the grandeur of "When you reach the top, you can see all the small mountains at a glance." In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset covered Qingzhiwu with a layer of golden veil, beautiful like a dream. Just like the People's Daily said: "No matter how high the mountain is, if you keep climbing, you will reach the top; no matter how long the road is, if you keep walking, you will reach the end." This day in Qingzhiwu made me believe that beautiful scenery is always on the road. 📅Itinerary: Day1: • Morning: Arrive at Qingzhiwu, check into a characteristic homestay, rest for a while, and then visit Lingfeng Tanmei. • Noon: Taste Hangzhou specialties at a nearby restaurant, such as West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, etc. • Afternoon: Go to Shihushan to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. • Evening: Stroll around the night market in Qingzhiwu and feel the lively atmosphere. Day2: • Morning: Visit the ancient buildings in Qingzhiwu and learn about their history and culture. • Noon: Try local snacks. • Afternoon: Sit in a café and enjoy a leisurely time. • Evening: Prepare to return. 💡Unique Tips: 1. Remember to bring comfortable shoes, because the paths here are beautiful but not easy to walk. 2. When tasting food, choose reputable restaurants to avoid unclean food. 3. Book your homestay in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, otherwise, you might end up on the streets.

The Lingfeng plum blossom exploration in the Botanical Garden has always been the most classic spot for plum appreciation in Hangzhou. Every year when the plum blossoms bloom, I make it a point to visit. Compared to some small but beautiful plum viewing spots, a large plum grove like the one in the Botanical Garden is more suitable for people to enjoy and play. Here, not only are there hundreds of plum trees, but the variety of plum blossoms is also very rich, allowing for the appreciation of all kinds of plum flowers. There are also many century-old plum trees. The fragrance of the flowers fills the courtyard, intoxicating...
