How to enjoy Hongluo Temple in summer? Look here
• Imperial Bamboo Forest: The bamboo forest in front of the mountain gate was planted by Zen Master Yunshan in the Yuan Dynasty, over 600 years ago. The green bamboo remains lush, and even in the height of summer, a cool breeze greets you here.
• Male and Female Ginkgo Trees: It is said that these two ginkgo trees are over 1,100 years old. Although autumn is the best season to see ginkgo, in summer, the 30-meter-tall ginkgo leaves drape over the temple tiles. The red walls, green tiles, and lush tree shade, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and birds, give the summer here a unique charm!
• Wisteria on Pine: In the courtyard of the Three Saints Hall, there is a "Wisteria on Pine" landscape composed of a flat-topped pine and two wisteria vines. The old tree and withered vines have a very unique appearance. Although you can't see the wisteria in full bloom, the green vines in summer are as beautiful as a fairyland.
• Mountain Cable Car: Hongluo Mountain is not high, but the presence of the cable car adds endless fun to climbing! The cable car allows for easy travel up and down the mountain. Enjoy the scenic beauty leisurely on the way up, and experience the thrill of sharp turns and descents on the way down!
• Mountain Path: Upon reaching the top, we can continue climbing along the mountain path to the summit, enjoying the scenic beauty of the forest. Of course, it's also a great spot for photography!
• Hongluo Spring: At the foot of the mountain, the clear waters of Hongluo Spring and the sculpture and legend of the Hongluo Maiden make this a must-visit spot in summer.
