The maple leaves at Jiuxi Yanshu in Hangzhou have turned red

Li'an Temple is a historic Buddhist temple. It was originally named Fayu Temple and was also known as Yongquan Zen Temple. According to historical records, the temple was built during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period by the King of Wuyue. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Lizong, a devout Buddhist, often visited the temple to burn incense and changed its name to Li'an Temple. Li'an Temple is famous for its "Fayu Spring," a mountain spring as famous as Hupao Spring. The spring water is clear and sweet, attracting many visitors to fetch water. In November, Li'an Temple sheds its thousand-year-old coldness and takes on a rare, beautiful color. The bricks and stones here have listened to Emperor Lizong's prayers for peace and prosperity and have borne the meditative thoughts of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. In autumn, the maple leaves turn red and the osmanthus flowers bloom, unchanged for a thousand years. Sitting under a tree, listening to the wind and drinking dew, quietly brewing tea and admiring flowers, in the torrent of time, who knows who once appreciated the same scene. Every corner of Jiuxi Yanshu lives up to its beautiful name. Look up at the trees, look down at the flowers, listen to the babbling brook, and let time slow down. Here, quietly listen to the sound of the stream and gaze at the misty bamboo forest. With friends, run wild in nature and take deep breaths of fresh, natural oxygen. Every step is a new view, and the beautiful scenery heals you again and again.
