Everyone who travels to Hangzhou should visit West Lake, but many people ignore these rare and beautiful hidden gems near the lake. I strongly recommend you to spend a day, avoid the crowds, have a super comfortable and relaxing City Walk, and experience a different secret of West Lake~😊 City Walk Route: Orioles Singing in the Willows → Wansong Academy → Hupao Park → Li'an Temple → Han Meilin Art Museum Orioles Singing in the Willow Waves: This place is simply a verdant secret place beside the West Lake. The photo-taking spots of the bridge hole and reflection are simply amazing! Hidden in the park, you can easily find it by navigating "Yokogawa Bridge". Standing on the bridge, looking at the green trees and blue sky reflected in the lake, it feels like you are in a fairyland. The lakeside of the park is also very beautiful. You can take a walk while enjoying the scenery of the lake and mountains. It is super comfortable! 🌳✨ Wansong Academy: Let’s go to the White Snake Flying Ferry to take pictures first. The aerial plank road there is super cool, and the atmosphere is even better on rainy days, as if you have traveled through the scenes of "The Legend of White Snake". Then go all the way up to check in at Wansong Academy to experience the quaint cultural charm. ✨ Hupao Park: This is my favorite! The atmosphere of Hupao Park is absolutely amazing! As soon as you walk in, you can feel the inner peace. The water from Hupao Spring is extremely sweet. Many people come here to fetch water and take it home. A sip of it is so refreshing and sweet that it seems to wash away all the fatigue. 🍵 Li'an Temple: Compared to the crowded Lingyin Temple, Li'an Temple is simply a deserted wonderland. It is quaint and peaceful here, without any noise, but only the quiet Buddhist sounds and the company of ancient trees. Here, you can slow down and feel inner peace. 🙏 Han Meilin Art Museum: This art museum hidden in the botanical garden is a treasure! The huge Buddha head sculpture is very artistic and takes great photos. It will definitely make your circle of friends like it!

The opening of this art museum not only provides art lovers in Jinan with a platform to appreciate art masterpieces up close, but also offers a profound interpretation of the spirit of Chinese cultural and artistic heritage. Located in the Shandong Science and Technology Museum on Nanmen Street, Lixia District, Jinan, the Jinan Han Meilin Art Museum is the fifth art museum of Mr. Han Meilin, following those in Hangzhou, Beijing, Yinchuan, and Yixing. With a construction area of approximately 13,300 square meters, the museum features 10 exhibition halls, including a preface hall, a literature exhibition hall, a sculpture exhibition hall, a painting exhibition hall, and a calligraphy exhibition hall.

From visual arts to design arts, public art, and urban landscapes, they all demonstrate Mr. Han Meilin's artistic talent and profound accomplishments. Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted by a large ironwork piece titled "Lotus" in the preface hall. This artwork was specially created by Mr. Han Meilin for the Jinan Museum, perfectly presenting the beauty and resilience of the lotus to the audience. As the city flower of Jinan, the lotus not only symbolizes the purity and elegance of the people of Jinan but also signifies the resilience and perseverance of the city in cultural heritage. Mr. Han Meilin's work is not only a tribute to the natural beauty of Jinan but also a profound interpretation of the cultural spirit of Jinan. The opening of the Jinan Han Meilin Art Museum is not only a recognition of Mr. Han Meilin's artistic achievements but also a continuation and promotion of the cultural spirit of Jinan. As a city with a long history and rich cultural heritage, Jinan has always been committed to the inheritance and development of culture and art. From ancient spring culture to modern creative industries, Jinan has been constantly exploring and innovating. The establishment of the Jinan Han Meilin Art Museum is an important milestone in this process of exploration and innovation.

For the purpose of collection, exhibition and research, the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government built the first Han Meilin Art Museum in the heart of Hangzhou Botanical Garden, hoping to integrate Han Meilin's brilliant and lively art into the veins of West Lake culture, add new charm to this historical and cultural city, and continue to carry forward Han Meilin's artistic spirit.

When the osmanthus is in full bloom, Hangzhou Botanical Garden is a must-visit. The Han Meilin Art Museum is a hidden gem in the garden. The most famous attraction in the Han Meilin Art Museum is the giant Buddha head sculpture in the courtyard. The giant Buddha head stands in the courtyard, surrounded by lush trees and osmanthus. The Buddha's eyes are lowered, and it has a gentle smile. It looks solemn and kind, and you will feel small standing in front of it. There are many maple trees and osmanthus around the Buddha statue. When the osmanthus blooms in October, it is a great place to enjoy the flowers and take photos. Han Meilin Art Museum You need to buy a ticket to enter Hangzhou Botanical Garden, but the Han Meilin Art Museum is free. The Hangzhou Botanical Garden is large, and it is easy to get lost.

I heard that the Han Meilin Art Museum has a new exhibition called 'Xu Zhou Bu Xi', which showcases a city walk of West Lake during the Ming Dynasty, capturing the footprints left by scholars and poets of that era. The exhibition is based on 'Hushan Shenggai', mostly consisting of prints and rubbings, but it connects various cultural and historical sites of West Lake during the Ming Dynasty, leaving a profound impact after viewing. What excites me even more is the permanent exhibition in the Han Meilin Art Museum. Han Meilin excels in arts and crafts, and the beauty of his artworks can be deeply felt by every visitor. Especially the famous Buddha head sculpture, which is a popular spot for photos at all times. To avoid the queue, I found some other sculptures in the museum to photograph, which are equally impressive. The exhibition exceeded my expectations, featuring sculptures, calligraphy, large paintings, small paintings... everything you could ask for, all filled with personal style. One cannot help but admire Mr. Han Meilin as a truly versatile artist. His artworks convey a sense of life and power, restraint and freedom, dedication and self, abstract yet concrete, a very intriguing feeling. The museum is located deep within the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, a very special location. The early autumn weather is slightly cooler, and the woods are filled with red spider lilies. The red spider lily, also known as Manjusaka, blooms without leaves, and when the leaves grow, the flowers are gone. Flowers and leaves never meet, always missing each other. But I feel that this is a continuous cycle, you bloom, I shed leaves, it is the continuation of life, inheritance, not separation. 【Some tips】The Han Meilin Art Museum is free and does not require a reservation, but the Botanical Garden charges an entrance fee of 10 yuan (free with the Hangzhou Park Card). Remember, the museum is closed every Tuesday, so don't make a wasted trip.

Originally, I only wanted to visit the area of Xihu. But Baidu Maps told me that there was National Botanical Garden nearby the West Lake. I went there and found this beautiful Art Museum dedicated to Han Meilin, Chinese famous and influential artist. Saw many beautiful sculptures and masterpieces. I really enjoyed it! How to reach this place: 💕 Take Hangzhou subway line 3 stop at Huanglong Sports Center. Then ride a bike for 1.8 km to Hangzhou Botanical Garden. 💕 Take Hangzhou public bus number 28 stop at Zhiwuyuan bus stop. #chinatrip #hangzhou

✅Must experience: Hangzhou Botanical Garden On the way to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, you will pass by the gate of Hangzhou Botanical Garden. Taking advantage of the fact that the rain 🌧️ has taken a short break during the plum rain season, I immediately took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Hangzhou and came to the Hangzhou Botanical Garden that I had longed to visit. The dense vegetation, towering ancient trees, luxuriant vines and misty air in the park make people feel as if they are in a fairyland. 🌟Highlights: The most surprising thing is that I unexpectedly discovered the Han Meilin Art Museum. In the deep bamboo forest, there is a Buddha statue with kind eyes and dignified elegance. It turned out to be the work of Master Han Meilin👍 The art museum displays the art works of Master Han Meilin, including paintings, calligraphy, and sculptures, all of which are exquisite. ❤Recommendation reason: Art museum is free 💰Average consumption: Ticket to Hangzhou Botanical Garden is 10 yuan 📝Note tips: To prevent mosquitoes in summer, remember to apply mosquito repellent.

I am Guanhai Tingtao tour＋global traveler, please follow me! (The 1512th travel shot published in 51 countries and 844 places on 5 continents) I heard that there is an art museum hidden in the botanical garden in Hangzhou, and there is a big Buddha head hidden in this art museum, which has now become a very popular internet celebrity check-in point. As someone living in Hangzhou, how could I not go and see. Entering from the main entrance of the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, following the direction of the "Han Meilin Art Museum" on the sign, you can get there in about ten minutes. Han Meilin is a highly influential contemporary Chinese genius artist. He has made outstanding achievements and contributions in the fields of fine arts, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, design, ceramics, etc. The Fuwa of the Beijing Olympics and the emblem of Air China were all from his hand. The large Buddha head bronze sculpture outside is also his work. There are many tourists who check in here, some take panoramic shots from a distance, some take photos of the corridor on the second floor balcony of the art museum, and some take close-ups of the Buddha's face from the side. The inside of the art museum will not disappoint you either, many of Mr. Han Meilin's works are on display here. There are calligraphy, paintings and small sculptures. You can take your time and look around.

Art always gives me a sense of respect. It seems that ordinary people are not worthy of appreciating art. The reason I went to the Han Meilin Art Museum was because of the internet-famous Buddha head. I always feel that if I take this photo, the article will become popular. As a humble blogger with data anxiety, I really want to be praised. However, when I walked into the Han Meilin Art Museum, what I took most photos of were the light and shadows in the bronze sculpture exhibition hall on the first floor. In my humble opinion, Mr. Han's sculptures have a very obvious style, with rounded lines and slender images. No matter whether it is animals or people, they are only fuller in key features, and the rest are as simple as possible. And those lines are projected onto the wall under the light, which are virtual and real, revealing a sense of mystery. It seems that these lines may hide the code of Mr. Han's creation, which makes me stop in front of it. On the second floor of the Han Meilin Art Museum, Mr. Han's casual works are displayed. Mr. Han Meilin likes to use a hard pen to draw decorative paintings similar to sketches on cardboard. Whenever he does this, his creativity flows freely and unthinkingly, like a fleeting stroke of genius. I like the owls on the wall. They are sloppy and cute, and even each stroke is a bit willful. But when put together, they become vivid and lively. I don't understand art and I don't dare to comment on it. I will just simply record my feelings. ps. Maru is more interested in Mr. Han Meilin's paintings. Although I can't interpret anything for him, after watching them, the child said that he would also work hard to keep painting. This can be regarded as our artistic enlightenment for Maru. 🏠Han Meilin Art Museum 📍Address: Hangzhou Botanical Garden 📅Opening hours: Closed on Tuesdays, 9:00-16:30 from Wednesday to Monday 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to Huanglong Cave, change to a bus to the Botanical Garden Station, and walk to Han Meilin Art Museum 🅿️Parking information: There is a parking lot at the north gate of the Botanical Garden, with limited parking spaces.
