Xiamen Haicang Shishi Zen Temple Free Flower Viewing Guide!! A tree of pear blossoms, a tree of spring

After the Spring Equinox, the southern part of China starts to welcome the plum rain season. Drizzles that sometimes just won't stop can be quite annoying. But at such times, the air is fresh and moist, perfect for going out to breathe the fresh air of nature🍃. And visiting a Zen temple in the rain can be an even more poetic experience. Wandering through the winding paths of the mountains and forests, the rain-soaked peach blossoms are softer and more delicate, the white pear blossoms are even more pure and transcendent... In the eyes of Buddha, every plant and tree has life; In the mundane world, we wait quietly for the flowers to bloom, nurturing the mind. Gentle breeze and fine rain, a sea of mist and flowers, No matter how big the world is, no matter how far the journey is, the heart always needs a place to stay. To settle your worldly cares, or perhaps a pure land of lotus flowers🪷. ... 📍Shishi Zen Temple Admission: Free Transportation: Metro Line 2 (Wengjiao Road Station Exit 4) 🚇About one kilometer walk from the metro, accessible by bus🚌 as well. 🚗Free parking for self-driving🅿️, may need to queue on weekends.
