Fall in love at first sight! The ultimate color scheme of ancient temples and golden trumpet trees.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, there are always places that can slow down time. Guangxiao Temple, a place of tranquility, carries a thousand years of history. When the first warm rays of spring sunshine fall, the golden trumpet trees in Guangxiao Temple bloom enthusiastically, draping this ancient temple in a golden robe and playing a romantic spring symphony. Guangxiao Temple, a famous temple in Lingnan that has witnessed the vicissitudes of time, has red walls and yellow tiles, and its halls are solemn. Every brick and stone tells a thousand-year-old story. On weekdays, it embraces the continuous stream of pilgrims with a calm and restrained attitude, spreading compassion and wisdom. When the golden trumpet trees are in bloom, the entire temple seems to be infused with a vibrant life force. Golden flowers cluster on the branches, like strings of wind chimes, swaying gently in the breeze, making crisp sounds, as if echoing the morning bells and evening drums of the ancient temple. The bright colors contrast sharply with the simplicity and solemnity of the ancient temple, yet they blend together so harmoniously. Walking along the paths in the temple, with the brilliant golden flowers overhead, dappled tree shadows underfoot, and the lingering scent of incense, one feels as if traveling through time and space, immersed in a dreamlike world. One flower, one leaf, one Tathagata; one Buddha, one temple, one Pure Land. The spring breeze blows through the ancient temple of Lingnan, casting a golden light. The golden trumpet trees in Guangxiao Temple, Guangzhou, are in stunning full bloom! The golden flowers bloom fully and enthusiastically! They form a sharp contrast with the ancient architecture of the temple, presenting a moving picture of spring! The flowering period of golden trumpet trees is extremely short, only 10-15 days. But it is this brevity that makes its blooming particularly precious. During this short period, Guangxiao Temple becomes one of the most popular check-in spots in Guangzhou in spring. People come from all over, just to catch a glimpse of this gorgeous sea of flowers. In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrate the clouds and sprinkle on the golden trumpet trees. The flowers are plated with a golden edge, crystal clear, and exceptionally beautiful. At this time, the temple has not yet been disturbed by too many tourists, only the early birds are singing in the branches, welcoming the new day together with the golden trumpet trees. At noon, the sun is scorching, and the golden trumpet trees are even more vibrant and eye-catching under the strong light. The courtyards and corridors of the temple are full of tourists taking photos. They either take intimate photos with the flowers or sit quietly on the side, appreciating this rare beauty, deeply imprinting this beautiful moment in their hearts. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun outlines a golden silhouette for Guangxiao Temple and the golden trumpet trees. At this time, the temple is enveloped in a peaceful atmosphere, and the golden trumpet trees gradually quiet down in the breeze, as if telling the story of the day. 📍 Guangxiao Temple, Yuexiu District 🚇 Take Exit C of Ximenkou Station on Subway Line 1, turn right, and walk about 400m. ⏰ 8:00-16:30 🎫 5 yuan/person. The price is affordable, but it can bring you a feast for the eyes and the soul. 🌈Visiting tips 🔸Burning incense is no longer allowed in temples. You can buy a bunch of flowers outside the temple before entering and offer them to the Buddha. If you forget, it doesn't matter, there are also flowers available inside. 🔸Golden trumpet trees are planted around the release pond in the temple. Although the number is small, each tree blooms very well. They look great against the red walls, green tiles, small Buddhas, kapok flowers, rockery, and Zen character walls of the temple. Photo tips: ①The front of the Mahavira Hall of Guangxiao Temple is an excellent location. With the red walls, green tiles, and golden flowers of the ancient temple as the background, the photos taken are full of artistic conception. ②It is recommended to visit on a working day morning when there are relatively fewer people, so you can take photos freely. If the weather is good, the sunlight shining on the flowers creates a superb lighting effect. If it happens to rain, the golden trumpet trees in the rain add a touch of hazy beauty. ③Golden trumpet trees are tall. Bring a telephoto lens to easily capture close-ups of the flowers and record the delicate posture of each flower. This spring, let's walk into Guangxiao Temple, listen to the flower language of the golden trumpet trees, and feel the beauty of the fusion of ancient temples and flowers. May this limited spring beauty become an eternal memory in your heart. Don't let the spring scenery go to waste, and don't miss this romantic encounter with the golden trumpet trees.
