Friends circle asked if this is Kyoto! But this is Hangzhou||Hupao Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Hangzhou every autumn Although it is mid-October now, I am already looking forward to the end of October Every autumn, the red maple forest and redwood forest in Hupao Park are intertwined When I posted a circle of friends, those who have been to Kyoto thought this was Kyoto As a result, I found the autumn colors in Hangzhou that can be replaced by Kyoto Don't miss the autumn here for friends who travel to Hangzhou! One: When it comes to Hupao Park, most people's impression is that it is known as one of the "double absolutes" of West Lake, "Hupao Water", also known as Hupao Dream Spring, located south of West Lake, is a landscape with "spring" as the theme, and it is also a cultural landscape with the legendary stories of Jigong and Hongyi Master Li Shutong. Hupao Park is very quiet, with very few foreign tourists, most of whom are citizens who come to play spring water. However, many people do not know that the autumn colors in Hupao Park are actually worth it

Hangzhou in the rain perfectly embodies the phrase "misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River". There are many places to shoot in Hangzhou on rainy days. However, my favorite place to shoot is: 【Hupao Park】 📍Hidden gems in Hupao Park: ✅Hupao Road. It's worth shooting and checking in. The Hupao Road at the entrance can take pictures of the forest-like misty scenery. ✅Hupao statue. Here you can take pictures of one of the symbols of Hupao: the statue of two tigers. ✅Han Hui Pavilion. The woods and pavilions are in the same frame, full of ancient charm. ✅Jade Belt Pool. There are a lot of koi to shoot. 📸Shooting skills and post-production ideas: In the early stage of shooting, focus on Hupao Road and Metasequoia forest, and the picture focuses on showing green. In the later stage, you can adjust the color to a cold tone, lower the brightness at the same time, and reduce the saturation of green.

Entering through the unassuming gate on Hupao Road, I discovered a whole new world. This is the most tranquil and bustling place in the morning at West Lake.

|Healed by the green. Hupao Park after the rain is so healing, with lush greenery, fresh air, and sunlight shining on the forest and water, it is like a fairyland. According to legend, in the 14th year of the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xingkong, a high monk, lived in seclusion and built a temple here. Later, he wanted to move away because there was no water source nearby. One night, he suddenly dreamed of a god telling him, "There is a Tongzi Spring in Nanyue, and two tigers will be sent to move it." Sure enough, the next day, he saw two tigers digging a hole, and the spring water gushed out, hence the name Hupao Spring. Hupao Spring is also known as the "Third Spring in the World." The spring water is sweet, and it is said that during the southern tours of Kangxi and Qianlong, they designated Hupao Spring water for making tea. Now there is a special water collection point in the park, and many citizens bring buckets to collect water to make Longjing tea. Ji Gong, a high monk, first became a monk at Lingyin Temple, then lived at Jingci Temple, and finally passed away at Hupao Temple. There is also a Ji Gong Pagoda in the park.

Hupao Park is named after a dream of Master Xingkong. It is the location of the new ten scenic spots of West Lake, Hupao Dream Spring. Hupao Dream Spring is a landscape with the theme of "spring" in Dinghui Zen Temple in Daci Mountain. Walking into Hupao Park feels like entering a primeval forest. The air is particularly fresh and full of negative oxygen ions. Looking at the towering green trees, it is raining continuously. After the forest is soaked by the rain, the greenery becomes more translucent, as if you are in a green environment. The wild wonderland makes people feel relaxed and happy. Hupao Spring is known as the third spring in the world. The spring water here is clear and sweet. It is also known as the three famous springs of West Lake together with Longjing Spring and Yuquan. People in Hangzhou have come here to collect water every morning for hundreds of years. Friends who come to Hangzhou to visit West Lake, if you like tea, don’t miss making West Lake Longjing tea with one of the two unique features of West Lake, “Hupao Water”. The most attractive thing about Hupao is not only the vast mountains, but also the rich cultural landscape.

Master Hongyi, also known as Li Shutong, was a rare talent in music, calligraphy, painting, and drama. He became a monk in middle age, meditated, and became a great monk who combined Buddhism and life. Hupao Park, located in the mountains and forests on the south bank of West Lake, is named after Hupao Spring and is famous for its mountain scenery. However, its soul is closely related to Master Hongyi. It has now become a famous scenic spot in West Lake, with spring water, mountain scenery, and culture. At the age of 37, Master Hongyi first visited Dinghui Temple in Hupao, where he fasted and cultivated his mind; at the age of 39, he became a monk here; at the age of 63, he passed away in Fujian, and his relics were buried beside Hupao Spring. 👍Highly recommended: Hupao Park is still full of trees and winding paths. Behind the bustling West Lake, there is a unique scenery. Along the path after entering the park, you can hear the sound of the stream. The Li Shutong Memorial Hall is located on a high platform in the center of the scenic area. The sculpture of Master Hongyi inside the memorial hall is lifelike, and the exhibition hall introduces his life and achievements in detail, as well as many of his calligraphy works. The small house next to the courtyard was the master's solitary residence for practice, and the scene of his practice was restored. There are also unique features on both sides and behind the memorial hall. On the left is the Jigong Pagoda Courtyard, where the Southern Song Dynasty monk Jigong passed away. There is a memorial temple and a pagoda; on the right are buildings such as Bicui Pavilion and Shanquan Residence, surrounding Hupao Spring. The spring is crystal clear and sweet, ranking first among the springs in West Lake. In the mountains behind the memorial hall, there is also the pagoda of Master Hongyi and the sculpture of Hupao Dream Spring. Legend has it that the Tang Dynasty monk Xingkong lived here and was instructed by a god in a dream to send two tigers to move the spring water here, which became the sweet spring water today and is also one of the new ten scenic spots of West Lake. 🌟Highlights: In the secluded Hupao, it is a great experience to brew a pot of tea with clear spring water and fresh West Lake Longjing tea. Next to the Li Shutong Memorial Hall, there is an unknown small courtyard in front of Yicui Pavilion, with a small bridge, flowing water, lotus, and green trees. There is a tea house where you can taste Longjing tea. Sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea, and feeling the nature and the master's spirit is a unique experience.

In the depths of Hangzhou's lush greenery, Hupao Park is like a pearl, exuding a tranquil and charming aura. When the autumn breeze gently blows, the maple leaves in the park gradually turn red, as if autumn herself has painted a beautiful picture with delicate brushstrokes. As you step into Hupao Park and walk along the winding paths, the bright red leaves suddenly catch your eye. The maple leaves spread out freely on the branches, some as fiery as flames, others as bright as the sunset. They contrast with the surrounding green pines and cypresses, like clusters of flowers embroidered on green silk, vibrant yet elegant. The sunlight falls in patches, revealing the veins of the maple leaves. Each leaf is like a carefully crafted work of art, with the traces of time and the passion of life flowing through its texture. When you reach the Dream Tiger sculpture, a few red maples stand by the water, their reflections swaying with the waves. The shimmering water makes the red maples look like dancing fairies, creating a dreamlike scene that captivates you.

Hangzhou, a city steeped in poetry, is home to countless treasures that captivate the soul. Among them is the understated yet enchanting Hupao Park. Stepping into Hupao Park is like stepping into a living ink painting of Jiangnan. Verdant mountains, ancient trees, and sunlight filtering through dense foliage create a dreamlike atmosphere. Everything here exudes a rich historical and cultural heritage. Hupao Spring, with its crystal-clear water, seeps from the quartz sandstone of the back mountain and flows year-round. It never dries up during droughts or overflows during heavy rains. The pure and sweet water is perfect for brewing Longjing tea, which is fragrant and unparalleled. It was here that Master Hongyi listened to the sound of the spring, contemplated life, and eventually embraced Buddhism, adding a profound spiritual glow to the landscape. Following the winding path, you will find the Li Shutong Memorial Hall, which displays his calligraphy, paintings, and music, offering a glimpse into the extraordinary talent and spiritual world of this legendary figure. Standing there, you can almost hear the master softly singing "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon," as the ethereal melody echoes in the air, telling stories of the past. Hupao Park not only boasts rich cultural connotations but also offers mesmerizing natural scenery. The park is filled with babbling streams, rugged rocks, and pavilions and towers arranged in a picturesque manner. The lifelike Dream Tiger sculpture seems ready to leap at any moment. The red walls and black tiles of Hupao Temple exude solemnity, while the incense smoke and Buddhist chants purify and calm the soul. In this bustling world, Hupao Park is like a paradise, waiting for people to come and listen to the harmonious symphony of nature and history, seeking inner peace and clarity.

Hupao Park in Hangzhou has always been a quiet and beautiful place. As autumn deepens, the maple leaves here are like a palette overturned by nature, dyed in gorgeous red. Walking into the park is like stepping into a poetic painting. The maple leaves on both sides of the road are as red as the sunset, some with a hint of golden yellow. The breeze blows, and the maple leaves rustle, as if whispering the stories of autumn. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the maple leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, like a dream. The spring water of Hupao Spring is still clear, reflecting the red maples around it, adding a touch of beauty. Walking along the path, you can smell the fresh air mixed with the faint fragrance of maple leaves, making you feel relaxed and happy.

As autumn deepens in Hangzhou, Hupao Park becomes a painting carefully colored by nature, with the brilliant red maple leaves as the finishing touch. Upon entering Hupao Park, the first thing that catches the eye is the fiery red maple leaves along the winding path. They are bright and vivid, with distinct layers, some as hot as fire, others as beautiful as the evening glow. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, making the veins of the maple leaves clearly visible in the interplay of light and shadow, as if they are the marks of time. Walking along the stream, the maple leaves by the stream complement the gurgling water. The red leaves fall on the water surface and drift with the waves, like small boats full of autumn thoughts. The sound of the gurgling water and the occasional bird song intertwine, like a heavenly sound, adding dynamic notes to this tranquil picture. Hupao Temple looks more simple and solemn against the backdrop of the red maples. The red walls and black tiles complement the surrounding maple forest, and the incense smoke rising in the temple gives people a sense of transcendence. Visitors who come to enjoy the maple leaves shuttle among them, either stopping to take photos to capture the beauty of the moment, or closing their eyes and standing still to feel the comfort of the autumn charm. This maple leaf spectacle is a precious gift from nature to Hupao Park. It uses fiery red to dispel the desolation of autumn and intoxicating beauty to comfort people's hearts. In the depths of the red maples in Hupao Park, time seems to slow down, allowing people to indulge in this poetic autumn scene, forget the troubles of the world, and enjoy this moment of tranquility and beauty.

Hupao Park is located at the foot of Baihe Peak of Daci Mountain in the southwest of West Lake. It is a scenic spot with "one spring, two temples, and three monks" as its main attractions. Hupao is a place where myth and reality are perfectly combined. From the outside to the inside, a deep tour line is full of suspense, which is fascinating. When you arrive at Hupao, drinking Longjing tea and tasting Hupao water is a great enjoyment in life. The clear and pure Hupao Spring is known as the "third spring in the world" and ranks first among the famous springs in Hangzhou. The unique charm of Hupao Spring lies in "listening to the spring, appreciating the spring, searching for the spring, and tasting the spring". Listening to the spring is to listen to the sound of the spring water. Appreciating the spring is to slowly put nickel coins into a bowl full of spring water. The nickel coins float on the water without sinking, and the spring water rises above the bowl without overflowing. After appreciating the spring, you can go to the spring eye of Dicui Cliff to "search for the spring". Finally, you can go to the tea room, sit down, pour Hupao water, and brew Longjing tea, which is the real "tasting the spring".

🏞️Hupao Park is located in Dinghui Temple on Daci Mountain, south of West Lake. It is also known as Hupao Dream Spring. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, a monk named Xingkong dreamed of two tigers running to the place where the spring was located, and thus the Hupao Spring was born. The park is themed around the spring and features cultural attractions such as the Jigong Hall and the Li Shutong Memorial Hall. Hupao Spring and Longjing Tea are known as the "Twin Wonders of West Lake." 🍂As you step into Hupao Park, 🍁the maple leaves burn like fire in the forest. The autumn breeze rustles the leaves, whispering the passage of time. The vibrant red leaves contrast with the tranquility of the ancient temple, evoking a sense of wonder at the magic of nature. 🍁The maple leaves change color with time, from 🍃tender green to fiery red, and finally fall to the ground, like a journey of life, short but intense, prompting me to ponder the meaning and value of life amidst this colorful scene. 🤳🏻Tour Route 🍁Shuangjue Pavilion - Hupao Statue - Hanhuai Pavilion - Riyue Pool - Grand Staircase - Hupao Spring Wall - Bell Tower - Hupao Spring Stele Pavilion - Yudai Pool - Qianzhongxiu - Yiduanqiu - Riyue Pool - Return 🚙Address: Hupao Park, Hangzhou.

Hupao Park is a must-visit. In my opinion, Hupao Park is the best park in Hangzhou, a place worth visiting in all four seasons. I visit five or six times a year. It not only boasts beautiful mountains and rivers, but also integrates spring culture, tea culture, Buddhist culture, and celebrity culture, making it full of cultural atmosphere. However, it may be too classic, so there are not many tourists. But this year, Hupao Park has become popular! There are many people on weekends! It is recommended to go early on weekends, or better yet, on weekday mornings. The park opens at 7:00! After entering the antique gate, a deep path leads straight to the distance, and on the right is a stream, with towering metasequoia trees on the bank that are now golden. The first time Master Hongyi came to Hupao Temple, he was probably deeply attracted by such scenery, which gave rise to the idea of fasting and becoming a monk. Attractions: Hupao Dream Spring, Li Shutong Memorial Hall, Dinghui Zen Temple, and various tea rooms. It is recommended to visit counterclockwise. When you reach the pond, go up the steps on the right, to the Drum Tower, Guanyin Hall, the internet-famous tree with a large teapot, Jigong Pagoda, Yudai Pavilion, Li Shutong Memorial Hall, and the pond. It is recommended to go to Hupao Park early, as the light is poor after 3:00 pm. Tickets: CNY 15, free with a park card. Reservations can be made at the entrance. Opening hours: 7:00–17:30 Transportation tips: There is heavy traffic on Hupao Road all year round. The nearest subway station is Shuichengqiao Station, 2.4 km away by bike. Nearby routes: Hupao Park - Jiangyangfan - Hangzhou Cuisine Museum, 1.8 km Hupao Park - Guirenge - Jiuxi, 5 km Hupao Park - Qiantang River to watch the sunset, Yiqiao Sunset Roller Coaster Dining: Song Banquet in Hupao Park; many internet-famous restaurants on Huyu Road nearby (Deming, Jinzhongbang, etc.); Hangzhou Cuisine Museum Restaurant.

📍Location: Hupao Park 📆 Date: December 8, 2024 . From the flower season to the rainy season, to the leaf-falling season, I love the mountain path with the sound of the stream in Hupao Park.

Weekend Getaway from Shanghai | The Most Beautiful Staycation Hotels in Hangzhou 🍁 Autumn in Hangzhou | Xishang Hupao 1934 "I want to see autumn." "Then let's go~" 🍁 📍Located in downtown Hangzhou, but in a remote area on a mountain near Hupao Park. Very quiet. Not very convenient to get to, and not much to eat nearby. Driving or taking a taxi is recommended. 40 minutes from the airport, 15–20 minutes from West Lake. 💫A hotel converted from an old house from the Republic of China era. I heard it was designed by Xie Ke. Small and exquisite, worth taking your time to experience. I love the light and shadow in the corners. 🍁The public area is small but beautiful, surrounded by trees. Every photo is a good one. I love the glass house, which has fruit and tea available 24 hours a day. 🏘️Not many rooms, but still very quiet even when full. Many room types, in the villa area and main building. I stayed in the Spring Villa and the attic room in the main building. Completely different vibes, both highly recommended. 🍴Breakfast is worth praising, very satisfied with both the variety and taste. The restaurant is open to the public for lunch and dinner, and is quite popular. Beautiful environment, good food. 🎈Good service, as expected for a boutique B&B at this price. A small suggestion: the balloon arrangement for the anniversary was a bit rough. Maybe don't use balloons.
