Winding water in search of plums, ten miles of fragrance, it's elegant to explore the plums by rowing boat. Recommended spots include Zhoujiacun Plum Forest Road and Xixi Plum Villa

🙌Tips1
If you're short on time and can only choose one area for plum viewing, I recommend the West Lake plum viewing route, which is relatively close, 2 days and 1 night, the essence of plum viewing
🙌Tips2
If you want to enjoy a leisurely plum viewing, I suggest staying near West Lake, this time I chose one next to a subway station, just a 15-minute walk from West Lake, it's really perfect for a city vacation 😭! And there's coffee and afternoon tea in the space, when you're tired from viewing, just come back to rest, it's both convenient and chill ☕
🙌Tips3
There will be many people viewing the plums, remember to set off early!

The third time I came to Qian Wangxuan, I finally went in. The first two times were not because the opening time was closed or the epidemic prevention and control. Today, the Spring Festival has also caught up with the flower show. I don't know if it is this reason. The tickets are 15/person. The scenery is very good. The plum blossoms are beautiful and worth a visit.
Qian Wangxuan's flowers are indeed blooming well, and the flower exhibition is very beautiful, which makes people shine. Come out is the pleasant scenery of the West Lake, you can take a boat tour of the West Lake directly. There are also net red plum blossoms, red plum is very beautiful, yellow plum is a little thankful, did not take the beautiful scenery.

Qian Wangxuan is a memorial to the fifth generation of the ten-nation period of the third five kings of the Yuyu, the impression is more impressive is the bronze casting of the bronze temple, it is said to be the largest base area of the bronze temple in China, the temple is a single-layer triple-double-style, simple and elegant. Qian Wangxuan in autumn, the red wall is more deliberately and elegant under the foil of autumn leaves, and each corner has a unique scenery. When the yellow leaves meet the bronze temple, it is even more unique.
