When you visit Hangzhou, make sure to visit these three maple viewing routes before you leave! Honestly, the upcoming Hangzhou is so beautiful that even Kyoto pales in comparison! In early December, Hangzhou will welcome the most brilliant maple season of the year, and I've specially planned three must-see maple viewing routes for you. If you're planning to visit Hangzhou, don't miss this guide! Each route is carefully designed, approximately 6.5 km long, and takes 6-7 hours to explore, allowing you to savor the beautiful scenery for a whole day. Whether you choose to bike or walk, you'll be able to enjoy the stunning scenery along the way. 1️⃣ West Lake Romantic Maple Viewing Tour 🍁 🔸 Route: Start from Lushui Fuchu, pass through Pinghu Qiuyue, Quyuan Fenghe, Guozhuang, Huagang Guanyu, and finally reach Taiziwan. This route is a favorite among locals, known as the "Inner West Lake" tour. Sitting on a bench by the West Lake, quietly watching the maple leaves fall, is incredibly romantic! The maple leaves at Quyuan Fenghe and Huagang Guanyu are particularly dense, and other attractions have their own unique charm, offering breathtaking views. 2️⃣ Temple Tranquil Maple Viewing Tour 🍁 🔸 Route: Start from Hangzhou Botanical Garden, stroll along Lingyin Road, visit Lingyin Temple and Yongfu Temple, and finally reach Faxi Temple at Shangtianzhu. The Yiquan Fish Leap in the Botanical Garden is an excellent spot for photographing red maples. As you walk to Lingyin Temple, you'll be surrounded by a beautiful blend of red, yellow, and green. Yongfu Temple is a hidden gem for maple viewing, and the trails at Shangtianzhu are filled with stunning scenery, ending perfectly at the popular Faxi Temple. 3️⃣ Forest Adventure Maple Viewing Tour 🍁 🔸 Route: Start from Hupao Park, pass through Manjuelong and Yangmeiling, visit Lian Temple, and finally reach Jiuxi Yanshu and Bridge No. 1 at Jiuxi. This route is a bit challenging, requiring a climb of about 100 meters, but it's definitely worth it. Hupao Park is a hidden gem for locals, with its unique charm of red maples. Jiuxi Yanshu is a classic maple viewing spot in Hangzhou, and the small waterfall and water reflections at Bridge No. 1 are a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Come to Hangzhou and embark on these three maple viewing routes, making the stunning maple season an unforgettable memory for you!

Lingfeng Plum Blossom Viewing is located to the west of West Lake, at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain in Qingzhiwu. Lingfeng Temple was built during the Kaiyun period of the Later Jin Dynasty. There are Cuivei Pavilion, Mianyun Hall, Miaogao Terrace, Washing Bowl Pool, etc. In the early Wanli period, the temple was ruined and the monks scattered, leaving only the temple buildings. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Lianxi, the commander of Zhejiang Province, rebuilt Lingfeng Temple and planted more than a hundred plum trees around it. In the first year of Xuantong, Zhou Mengpo planted another 300 plum trees, making it a good place to appreciate plum blossoms, hence the name "Lingfeng Plum Blossom Viewing". The Hangzhou Botanical Garden has always been a classic place to appreciate plum blossoms! There are more than 40 different varieties of wax plums in the garden, a total of more than 1,200 trees, most of which are concentrated around the Lingfeng Scenic Area. The Wax Plum Garden, Longyue Tower, and the entrance to Lingfeng are the three most densely planted areas, and there are also a few scattered plantings in other areas of the garden. Location: No. 1 Taoyuanling, West Lake District, Botanical Garden (Enter from the Qingzhiwu ticket check point, and you can reach the Plum Garden in about 5 minutes on foot) There is a short mountain road to Lingfeng Plum Blossom Viewing, and it takes about 10 minutes to climb.

· 😜Just came back from the Botanical Garden Chrysanthemum Exhibition, to tell the truth: Although there are many people, but I feel 🙅🏻‍♀️ not as many people as last year, and this year's few exhibition layouts look good, the kind that young people also like!!! Very atmospheric Zen, there is also a real version of Monet's garden!!! And it's easy to take pictures, don't worry about the crowd!!! · 🌟Exclusive photo location: I dug up with my friends after walking around several times, there was no one before we took the pictures, and friends who also want to take portraits hurry up 🌟 hurry up~ ➊The big road next to Yuquan Fish Leap, position 7, this place has chrysanthemums scattered in the middle of the small road stones and no fence, you can take a picture of being in the sea of flowers, and because everyone is directly into Yuquan Fish Leap from the chrysanthemum arch, basically no one walks this road, so no one takes pictures; ➋Continue to walk forward on this big road, passing by a small chrysanthemum station after 'Autumn Hua Yuan', which is on the lawn, there are two clusters of very tall chrysanthemums and a small sea of chrysanthemums, you can walk to the back and take a picture with the chrysanthemums, a perfect Monet garden feeling; · 🙌🏻Viewing tips: Although every year the chrysanthemum exhibition is mostly visited by old grandpas and grandmas, but I feel that this year's 'Picking Chrysanthemums at the East Fence' and 'Autumn Hua Yuan' are just the kind of exhibitions that young people love to see, one is the autumn Zen atmosphere, imagine drinking tea and tasting tea in it is simply divine, one is the Monet garden atmosphere, casually taking pictures is super dreamy, although they are all fenced up, but this makes it easier to take pictures of the scenery!!! · 🏃🏻‍♂️Tour strategy: ➊Enter from the north gate, do not drive, if there is a traffic jam 300m away from the gate, get off and walk, I have tested that I have walked and the car has not moved; ➋No need to make an appointment, just come, why not come to see the top chrysanthemum exhibition for 10r, like us with a park card is simply free to visit; ➌Chrysanthemum lovers can come again next week, after all, the exhibition period is a month, so now some are still flower buds, not fully bloomed; ·

After several recommendations, I took myself to the botanical garden for spring blossoms. I was a bit disappointed as there were very few blossoms and some of them were already dry. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a rejuvenating place or somewhere for a picnic, that’s spot on! My favourite was the potted plants garden with beautifully displayed bonsaï plants. If you wander in the little forest with the wooden pathway running through it, you’ll witness a tranquil atmosphere with fresh air and a light breeze 🍃. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the crowd was there, but fortunately, nothing overwhelming. The garden is so wide that you can easily find a corner to be with your friends or by yourself. How to go ➡️ I took a taxi 🚕 from Wulin Square metro station 🚇 (武林广场地铁站). The ride was about 30-40 mins. (The roads around the botanical garden were congested especially on the weekends) Entrance 🎟 ➡️ 10¥ #garden#botanicgardens#naturescapes#naturetheraphy#naturewonders#springblossoms#flowers#zhejiang#hangzhou

First evening in Hangzhou, I decided to start my sights with this delightful garden... That turned out to be such a bad idea since I arrived at 4pm (spent about 30mins walking in circles) and they close at 5pm. I was only able to see a fraction of its attractions but it was worth it.. Getting There - I took a cab to the location but there is a bus stop right by the garden entrance, so that's an option. Attractions - Nature at its best.. Food & Restaurants - There were a few buildings in the park that looked like they offered restaurants but never had the opportunity to enter any..

You can come all year. It is very big. If you want to walk around, it takes 3-4 hours. On mid March, you have chance to see blossom. On mid November, trees change to yellow and green.

|Camellias Blooming at West Lake. The camellias at the Magnolia Camellia Garden by West Lake are in full bloom ❤️ Mainly pink and red, over 80% are in full bloom 👻 Super beautiful 🌹🌹🌹 Perfect for taking photos Camellias can bloom until spring~ Not many people on weekends, perfect for spending an afternoon Warm winter limited, miss it and wait for a year‼️ 🌸 Magnolia Camellia Garden Time: Jan 17, 2025 CNY 4 (Free with annual park pass 🆓)

I used to ride a bike to go there from Wulin Square. People there a really friendly and everyone waiting each others in the queue. Also they can help you to take a pictures #historicallandmarks

It's rare that this winter is not rainy... The weather is nice today and the temperature is rising, so I came out to enjoy the sunshine! Winter is the season for plum blossom viewing. "Shadows of sparse branches slant over the clear water, and the faint fragrance floats in the dusk moonlight." "I know it is not snow, because the fragrance is coming." Wintersweet is the first to bloom! Today, we chose to visit Lingfeng Tanmei in the Botanical Garden. Of course, wintersweet is in the Wintersweet Garden. We entered from the north gate and went to see the "mascot" of the Botanical Garden - the big fish 🐟. Go straight ahead, and turn left when you see "Fish Paradise" and "Yuyuan Fish Leap". There are many big fish in the fish pond 👍 After that, walk along the road and you will see the sign to Lingfeng Tanmei. There is a little climb, but it is not tiring. After passing an intersection, you will see the core area of plum blossoms. On the left is the Wintersweet Garden, the highlight of today; on the right is the Pinmei Garden, where there are many plum blossoms, but not wintersweet. They have not bloomed yet, but there are many buds. It is estimated that they will be very beautiful when they bloom. I will come back after the New Year to see them~ Most of the plum blossoms in the Wintersweet Garden have bloomed. With the breeze, a faint fragrance wafts by, which is very pleasant. Yellow plum blossoms, yellow fallen leaves, and yellow sunlight are very beautiful~ After taking photos and smelling the flowers in the Wintersweet Garden, we continued to the Lingfeng Tanmei scenic spot, which is on the left after a fork in the road. The whole trip was very relaxing, with the fragrance of flowers and sunshine, which was a great way to relax from the daily fatigue! The entrance fee to the Botanical Garden is 10. Talent Code and Park Card holders can visit for free~ The bamboo forest across the street is also very photogenic, I will go there next time~

| The Botanical Garden is so beautiful today. Who doesn't know about the "Chiffon Path" in the Botanical Garden? It's in the second picture. The Botanical Garden has specially planted maple trees and sycamore trees together. There are also science boards explaining the differences. The Botanical Garden is so thoughtful, and the photos are amazing! Save this post and I'll tell you the red maple route in the Botanical Garden.😘 . The Botanical Garden is so photogenic even on a cloudy day. The crowded chrysanthemum exhibition is no longer there. After the chrysanthemum exhibition ended, The Botanical Garden became quiet again. There were not many people in the Botanical Garden at 10 am on the weekend. The red maple trees here will last for at least another week.✌🏻 There are many of them, densely packed, and with a strong sense of layering. Hurry up! . The simple route for red maple trees in the Botanical Garden is: North Gate ➡️ Turn right after entering the gate ➡️ The little-known "Chiffon Path" has a dozen trees, take photos along the way ➡️ Shanshui Garden ➡️ There is a beautiful tree at the entrance of Shanwai Shan ➡️ There is a beautiful red tree at the entrance of Yuquan ➡️ Take photos of the frame scenery and portraits in the garden ➡️ Exit from Yuquan ➡️ There are more trees on the way out of the North Gate . The simple route takes 2 hours to complete. It's very enjoyable to walk and take photos. If you want to continue exploring, go to Han Meilin. Or go up the mountain next to Shanwai Shan, and go down to Qingzhiwu for a meal. Or go to Dongshan Nong Market for local noodles.🍜 . This route is from a die-hard fan of the Botanical Garden. Thank you for loving the Botanical Garden too. It provides me with 💯 emotional value all year round. . 🎫 Ticket: CNY 10 (free with a park card) 🚘 Parking: There are a few parking spaces in the Botanical Garden / Bamboo Forest Parking Lot opposite 🚌 Bus: Zhejiang University Yuquan Campus Station, 500 meters on foot 🚇 Subway: Huanglong Sports Center Station, Line 10 .

Chrysanthemums, with their diverse forms, are one of China's top ten traditional flowers, one of the four gentlemen of flowers, and one of the world's four major cut flowers. They are known as the "hermit of flowers," symbolizing good fortune and longevity. In ancient poetry, chrysanthemums are often used to describe people of noble character, symbolizing those who do not conform to worldly conventions.

Almost missed this place when I visited Hangzhou Finding this place totally underrated! Visited on a rainy day on the last day of my trip to Hangzhou, and surprisingly it was empty The garden was huge and the landscape was impeccable. I’d say don’t skip it on a rainy day because you might find a different views and you might have a chance to avoid the crowd 😉 烟雨蒙蒙的杭州植物园真是太美了
