Who would have thought that the most beautiful plum blossoms in Hangzhou are in Chaoshan!

The Chaoshan, one of the three major plum blossom viewing spots in the south of the Yangtze River, is now in full bloom with white plum blossoms covering the mountains. Chaoshan is known for its plum blossoms, with a ten-mile stretch of fragrant snow-like plum blossoms. I fell into a sea of plum blossoms at Chaoshan. Upon arriving at the scenic area, the enticing fragrance of plum blossoms is immediately captivating, unfolding a brand new picture scroll. The plum blossoms are in full rage, reminiscent of Wu Changshuo's 'Recalling the Plum Blossoms' which expresses 'Not a decade to the sea of fragrant snow, the plum blossoms remember me as I remember them. When shall I buy a boat to brave the snow, to toast before the blossoms in full sway.' For first-time visitors, you can follow this route: Dongyuan Parking Lot Commercial Street — Dongyuan White Plum Grove — Dongyuan Lawn — Wen Yu Pavilion — Tan Mei Road — Song Mei and Song Mei Pavilion — Daming Hall Tang Mei — Wu Changshuo Memorial Hall — Bonsai Garden — East Gate. Those with good physical strength can also visit the Chaoshan Qinglian Temple, which was established during the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to 'Tang Lou Zhi', (Qinglian Temple) 'has a secluded path, with peach blossoms in spring, ripe bayberries in summer, a pool inside with clear and cool water, and a sweet osmanthus and a camellia, both relics from the previous dynasty.' Key spots to check in include the Wax Plum King planted by Wu Changshuo himself, Dongyuan, Song Mei and Tang Mei, Bonsai Garden, Lake Heart Island, and Qinglian Temple! Travel Tips: 1. The best time to enjoy the plum blossoms is from mid-February to mid-March when the plum blossoms are in full bloom and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. 2. It is recommended for friends who plan to visit to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as there will be a lot of walking. Be prepared with photo props such as flower baskets, hats, etc., to enhance your photos. Don't forget to bring a power bank to preserve the beautiful moments! 3. The ancient style bridge is a landmark of Chaoshan, standing on the bridge you can overlook the entire plum grove, which is very photogenic. Stroll along the plum blossom path, feel the fragrance of the plum blossoms and the breath of spring. Chaoshan Scenic Area Opening hours: 8:00-17:00

Old town in the north of Hangzhou

#historicplaces I found this old town on Google map three years ago when I moved to Hangzhou. Despite of its remote location, this quaint little town is an interesting blend of traditional Chinese architecture & culture with a touch of modernity. (I was indeed surprised to find a KFC and Starbucks, but it seems to be a trend nowadays). The stone bridge & river are part of the Grand Canal sourcing from Beijing. While strolling through the streets of the old town, you can find several restaurants, coffee shops and traditional snacks. There are a few handicraft stores where you can buy souvenirs. I also came across a portrait artist along the river. The old town is a living area and is also famous for its loquat season around mid-May. How to go- Take metro line 9 to Heyu Road. There’s a bus station near exit C in front of McDonald’s. Take 🚌 411 OR Take a 🚕, the ride is about 20-30 mins. #historicculture#historicplaces#oldtown#grandcanal#zhejiang#hangzhoutravel#hangzhou

There are countless ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancient town of Tangqi is one of the ancient towns that have to be mentioned. The ancient town of Tangqi has occupied a very important position in the history of the past and present. It originated from the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The canal passes through the town and is the waterway of the Soviet Union, Shanghai, Jia, and the lake. Since the dynasties, Tangqi has been the water gateway of Hangzhou. The historical atmosphere of the ancient town can be seen from the seven-hole Guangji Bridge above the ancient canal. Now the bridge is 78.7 meters long, 5.2 meters wide, 7.75 meters high and 7.6 meters wide. Seven holes, arch vouchers are juxtaposed and juxtaposed, and each of the two slopes has a stone step of 80. The stone slabs are plain, and the two ends of the slab are cirrus clouds. There are 64 pillars in total, and the four corners are covered with lotus. Guangji Changqiao is like Changhong. It has a beautiful shape. After more than 500 years, it still stands on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It has become a true witness of the historical vicissitudes. Guangji Bridge is like the Changhong lying wave and the canal. It is the only remaining one on the ancient canal. The seven-hole stone arch bridge is also the largest thin-decked arch bridge on the Grand Canal. Picking up from the bridge, it feels like climbing a mountain. Going to the top of the bridge, you can see the whole picture of the ancient town. Guangji Bridge has now become the image of Lao Yuhang.

Hangzhou  Tangqi Ancient Town

🌿 In Linping, Hangzhou, there is an ancient town called Tangqi, which got its name from being situated near a pond. Tangqi Ancient Town spans both sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and has always been the water gateway to Hangzhou. ✅ Since the Yuan Dynasty, Tangqi has been a bustling town with a gathering of merchants, becoming a large town. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was once the richest area around and was known as the 'foremost of the top ten famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River'. 🌈 When we arrived, it was the end of winter and nearing spring, and the weather was still a bit cold. One must see the Guangji Bridge over the Grand Canal here in Tangqi - the Guangji Bridge in Tangqi Town. The bridge's design is quite beautiful and spectacular. There are also ancient relics such as the Guo Pu Well, the Qianlong Imperial Stele, and the Taishi Di Alley - indeed, it is a southern ancient town. 🌿 There are many alleys in Tangqi Ancient Town, known as 'seventy-two and a half alleys'. The towering firewalls are covered with vines, and the ground is mostly paved with bluestone slabs, quiet and quaint, with wandering thoughts, all the way to the canal side, where the wind is disheveled. 🌿 Along the canal, there are veranda streets and 'Beauty Lean', where the 'Beauty Lean' by the river is a long row of wooden structures, now with red lanterns hanging above. One can imagine in the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful silhouette of a woman, the winding long veranda streets that are accessible in every direction, perfect for going out without the hindrance of rain. Feng Zikai once said: 'Jiangnan is a place of beauty, and Tangqi Water Town is one of its representatives.' ✅ A gentle breeze brushes the face, fresh and elegant, returning to tranquility, feeling the tremor of the soul at that moment - this water town is where the soul belongs.
