Tiefosi

After yearning for the plum blossoms at Tiefo Temple in Huzhou for many years, they have now become the top trendsetters in the circle. Although I anticipated a crowd, I was still stunned by the wall of people inside the small temple when I arrived. Built during the Southern Dynasties, the temple's two famous plum trees were planted during the Republic of China era, with a history of a hundred years. Perhaps it's the divine aura of the ancient temple, but the plum trees bear six-petaled flowers, a rare variety. The blossoms are umbrella-shaped, delicate in form, fragrant, and their color is a vivid pink with hints of purple, indeed more vibrant than other plum blossoms. No filter is needed to highlight their beauty, which explains why so many people rush to photograph them. The beauty of these two trees is genuine, stylish and elegant, and even a mere glimpse is a feast for the eyes. It seems that the temple authorities also made arrangements to match, as the lighting inside the Mahavira Hall gloriously illuminated the Buddha statue, creating a unique visual effect of Zen sounds and plum shadows. The evening before, I braved the cold and waited until the temple was about to close and hurriedly took an imperfect panoramic shot of the two trees. The next morning, instead of the overcast weather predicted, it suddenly cleared up. I entered the temple again, and the light and shadows were spectacular, allowing me to capture a set of unforgettable Zen red plum blossoms.

The Tiefo Temple, located in the bustling area of Huzhou, was originally the Dong Guangfu Guanyin Temple, which was established in the early Tang Dynasty. It was named after a Song Dynasty iron-cast Guanyin statue within the temple.
