Comparable to Japan! The hydrangeas at Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou overflow with Zen beauty

1/18 Comparable to Japan! The hydrangeas at Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou overflow with Zen beauty The hydrangea exhibition at Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou is like a painting where Zen and romance intertwine, captivating the heart with its beauty. This year, the temple has meticulously prepared, placing hundreds of pots of hydrangeas throughout the temple, adorning it with a dreamy attire, making it an ideal spot for photography. Currently, the hydrangeas are in full bloom, making it the perfect time to visit. The exhibition runs from May 15 to June 1, lasting over half a month. After the exhibition concludes, these vibrant hydrangeas will be transplanted to various corners of the temple, helping Yongfu Temple become the "most beautiful temple" and adding a unique brilliance to the "Qiantang blessed land." 🎫 Ticket Information: Yongfu Temple itself does not require a ticket, but entry to the scenic area requires a Feilai Peak ticket, priced at CNY 45. Friends with a Hangzhou Park Card can enter for free. 📷 Must-visit Spots: ✅ Seven Buddha Pagoda: Upon entering the temple, you can see it. Its style is ancient and quaint, and although smaller in scale than the Seven Buddha Pagoda of Guoqing Temple, it has its own charm. Shooting from top to bottom can capture a unique image. See reference image 1⃣8⃣ ✅ Hundred Blessings Dignity: After passing the Vajra Hall, the four large characters "Yanzhuang Fubai" come into view, surrounded by a large number of hydrangeas. Taking photos here is full of atmosphere. See reference image 5⃣ ✅ Maitreya Hall: The incense burner at the entrance is surrounded by hydrangeas, with colors complementing the ancient architecture beautifully. See reference image 8⃣ ✅ Hydrangea Arch: Near a pavilion above the Guanyin Hall. Shooting from the side of the arch is more effective than from the front, with a high success rate. For a pure, people-free shot from the front, it's best to arrive early. See reference images 2⃣ 4⃣ 6⃣ ✅ Kalinga Lecture Hall: Both sides of the courtyard are covered with hydrangeas. Taking photos here as a background is full of artistic conception. See reference images 1⃣ and 3⃣ for shooting angles. 🍜 Food Guide: ✅ Although there are many dining options at the entrance of the scenic area, prices are relatively high. You can also bring your own food. 🚗 Transportation Guide: ✅ Public Transport: Take Metro Line 2 to Fengqi Road Exit E, transfer to the Lingyin Special Line, get off at Lingyin Bus Station, then walk 400 meters to the scenic area entrance, and continue walking for about 10 minutes to reach Yongfu Temple. ✅ Driving: Navigate directly to "Yongfu Temple" or "Lingyin Temple" and park in a nearby parking lot. 🅿 Parking Guide: There are many parking lots around the destination. Choose one with available spaces. Parking fees are CNY 10/hr on weekdays and CNY 20/hr on weekends. 📌 Helpful Tips: Photography Tips: When photographing hydrangeas, cleverly use the temple's arches, washbasins, paths, or buildings as backgrounds to create a Zen-like atmosphere. Visiting Time: Recently, Yongfu Temple has been very popular due to the hydrangea exhibition. It is recommended to arrive around 8 am when there are fewer visitors and the light is softer, making it easier to take photos. After 10 am, the crowd increases, and the light becomes stronger, affecting the photo quality. Outfit Suggestions: To take beautiful photos, consider wearing light-colored dresses that complement the vibrant hydrangeas, making you look fresh and charming.
