No one can resist the most dazzling touch of red
Heading towards spring, as April ends and spring fades, joy arises with the spring breeze, and the splendid spring, with flowers blooming chaotically, is about to dazzle the eyes. Peony blossoms, red and green intertwined, are like the morning glow burning at the treetops, and no one can resist the most dazzling touch of red in the colors of spring.
The Working People's Cultural Palace (also known as the Temple of Earth), although only separated by a wall from the Forbidden City, has always maintained a low profile, free from the noisy crowds, making it a great choice for holiday outings in the capital.
In mid-April, around the time of the Grain Rain, it is the peak blooming period for peonies. Inside the garden, peonies bloom against the walls, with yellow, red, purple, and pink intermingling and merging with each other. Ancient architecture with blooming flowers, red walls and green tiles, the peonies and the red walls of the Temple of Earth, along with the ancient trees, complement each other, creating a unique charm. The peonies reflected on the vermilion walls appear even more luxurious and grand. The blooming flowers still need the backdrop of ancient architecture, and in Beijing, this is almost the only place where one can photograph peonies + red walls, which is elegant and suitable for Hanfu.
The Working People's Cultural Palace, formerly the imperial Temple of Earth, is also known as 'The Temple of Earth.' The Temple of Earth has a long history of peony cultivation. Being in the Temple of Earth, one can admire the ancient cypresses above and enjoy the peonies below, offering a three-dimensional, multi-layered viewing experience. Nearly a hundred precious varieties from both domestic and international sources—such as Luoyang Red, Fragrant Osmanthus, White Snow Tower, Island Brocade, Flower King, and others—are all part of the Temple of Earth's peony collection, making it one of the capital's collection sites for the national flower.
Catch the tail end of spring, hurry to the Temple of Earth to enjoy the greenery and the spring, and fully appreciate the peonies' national beauty and heavenly fragrance, feeling the beauty of the fusion of ancient architecture and nature! Most importantly, there are fewer people🌟
