Undoubtedly, one of the most exquisite temples in Beijing! It is said that wishes made by women here are extraordinarily efficacious!

I hereby declare—Hongluo Temple is the most exquisite temple in all of Beijing! There is simply no comparison! Previously, when one mentioned Hongluo Temple, the mind would instantly conjure images of the vast expanse of red leaves in late autumn and the two ancient golden ginkgo trees. However, during my inaugural summer visit, I was utterly astounded by the photographic aesthetics hidden within the temple~ Who could have imagined, a vibrant wall of bougainvillea blossoming in the heart of the temple, one might mistake it for a classical Chinese garden if not informed otherwise. Bougainvillea is a rare sight in the northern regions, especially such a grand waterfall of bougainvillea flowers, it is truly a unique spectacle in Beijing. The blooming period of bougainvillea in Hongluo Temple is quite long, almost visible throughout the four seasons. The tranquil bamboo grove, the delicate flowers, and the verdant lawn, every snapshot is a potential masterpiece! During the current season, the most beautiful and soft light for photography on the flower wall is after 16:00 in the afternoon. I recommend that you can first visit the temple for blessings, and after 16:00, when there are fewer tourists, it's the perfect time to return to the flower wall for photography. Ladies can also bring various props, such as classical Chinese fans and paper umbrellas; modern style camping chairs, bouquets, and straw hats are also a great match~ There is an old saying in Beijing: "Men to Yonghe and women to Hongluo", meaning men go to Yonghe Palace for blessings, and women go to Hongluo Temple for blessings. This saying is quite famous in Beijing's Buddhist prayer culture, especially as it is said that praying for marriage and children at Hongluo Temple is particularly effective~ Whether the legend is true or not, women will have to try for themselves, but I can assure you, it's guaranteed that girls can take beautiful photos at Hongluo Temple!
