The moment I dropped the photos into the group chat, my friends immediately replied, "You secretly flew to Japan?" . But the truth is— This Zen world where maple leaves intertwine with Late Tang architecture is not in Kyoto at all, but right in Baoshan, Shanghai. . ▪️ Baoshan Temple ▪️ Few people, serene, beautiful architecture Maple and pine trees arranged in a pleasing pattern Combined with Late Tang style deep-eave wooden structures Every shot is filled with an oriental artistic vibe. . 📸 Photo tips · Choose a sunny afternoon; the light filtering through the maple leaves is the most beautiful · Outfit suggestion: solid colors and new Chinese style look best in photos · Keep quiet, walk slowly, and shoot calmly . 🕒 About 2 hours to tour 🍚 The temple offers vegetarian meals, experience for 10 RMB/person 🚗 Driving is most convenient, parking lot right at the entrance .
