At this time, the magnolia flowers in the temple are blooming quietly, like elves dancing in the Buddhist chants🧚♀️ Strolling along the quaint trails, you can feel the fusion of history and nature with every step you take. At the corner of the Sutra Repository, the magnolia flowers and the red walls set off each other, forming a beautiful picture. The pink and white petals exude a warm jade-like luster under the strong afternoon sunlight, as if covered with a layer of honey-colored halo. The curling green smoke rising from the incense burner complements the elegance of the magnolia flowers, and the whole scene is like a moving ink painting. 📸If you want to take stunning photos, here are some tips! You can look for unique geometric compositions between the eaves and branches, or stand next to the incense burner with smoke curling around it and immerse yourself in this Zen atmosphere.
