Romantic Treasure-like Spring Scenery for Plum Blossom Viewing and Photo-Taking

As spring comes, all things awaken with it and anticipation grows for the beauty of the plum blossoms. In Hangzhou, spring arrives with the awakening of splendid plum blossoms, marking the first blooms of the season and the most delightful rendezvous between the city and spring.

As winter transitions into spring, plum blossoms take center stage, filling the entire city with their delicate fragrance. Many plum blossom viewing spots are also perfect for capturing stunning photos for your social media. Dressed in stylish traditional Hanfu, setting out to capture the beauty of plum blossoms is an experience not to be missed among these romantic treasure troves of spring scenery.

Guo's Villa is the most representative garden with classical Jiangnan characteristics within the West Lake Scenic Area. The plum blossoms at Guo's Villa bloom gracefully by the water's edge, with clusters of vibrant red blossoms dripping with beauty. Next to the corridors and water-front pavilions in the elegant and rustic garden, the blossoming plum trees exude elegance and vitality.

The architecture of Southern China is mainly characterized by black bricks and tiles, and the crimson walls of the Qianwang Temple are rather rare, resembling those of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and serve as a beautiful backdrop for photographs of plum blossoms, people, or people dressed in Hanfu.

Qianwang Temple offers the romantic combination of "red walls with white plum blossoms," while the Huiyin Korean Temple on Santai Mountain pairs yellow temple walls with red plum blossoms, adding a touch of Zen. Particularly breathtaking is the plum tree located in front of the Lunzang Hall, set against a background of vermilion doors and windows, and yellow walls. During the plum blossom season, the entire tree bursts into full bloom, enchanting all who see it.

In Hangzhou, for plum blossom viewing and photographing, there are red walls, yellow walls, and naturally, black-tiled white walls. The plum blossoms are in full bloom at the Former Residence of Du Jinsheng, and a subtle scent of plum blossoms pervades the air amid the quaint old houses. Besides admiring the plum blossoms, one can also stroll around the former residence and experience the literary and poetic charm of the ancient city of Hangzhou.

Spring at Xianghu Lake is poetic, where one can find poetic landscapes amid picturesque mountains and waters, or brew tea, enjoy tea, and chat with friends in an ancient-style tea house... Layer upon layer of intertwined branches, covered with flowers, stretch freely along the lake and of faint fragrance floating in the breeze. It feels great to wear traditional Hanfu and inhale the refreshing fragrance of early spring here.

If the plum blossoms at Xianghu Lake exude a subtle gentleness, those at Yangjia Pailou carry the refreshing fragrance of tea gardens. The green of the tea leaves intertwines with the red of the plum blossoms to create a captivating scene. Even in everyday attire, you can take incredibly beautiful pictures!
