Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

In Hangzhou, hydrangeas have entered their peak blooming season, and the flowering fields at several scenic sites have become popular spots for photographic opportunities.


Linping Park, acclaimed as the "hydrangea ceiling of Hangzhou," has added 17,000 square meters of planting area this year, featuring 59 varieties including Endless Summer and Ruby. The expanse of blooms is distributed along the southern slope of the Azalea Garden, offering a visually stunning display, especially where blue-purple hydrangeas form a sea of Klein blue. Visitors may navigate to the Azalea Garden within Linping Park to experience the scene.


Yongfu Temple, a millennia-old sanctuary, uniquely blends its ancient Zen atmosphere with the charm of hydrangeas. The flowers are arranged along the slopes and courtyards, reminiscent of a vibrant ink wash painting. The Endless Summer variety creates an arch of blossoms that appears especially translucent in sunlight and takes on a dreamy, poetic quality on rainy days. Meandering flower paths within the temple allow visitors to appreciate both the tranquility of Buddhist heritage and the allure of nature.


Xihe Park, a rising star in Xiaoshan District, currently boasts nearly 2,000 large-flowered hydrangea pots blooming in succession, including varieties such as Temple of the Sun and Stars. The full, vibrant flower clusters transition in color from blue and white to pink, forming a richly layered visual feast. Professional landscaping maintenance ensures an excellent viewing experience of this floral display.


Hangzhou hydrangeas not only embody the beauty of nature but also integrate seamlessly into the cultural fabric of the city.
