Spring waits for no one, and it must be on the list of early spring flowers in Beijing

Speaking of wintersweet, one of the earliest flowers heralding spring in Beijing, we have to mention the Reclining Buddha Temple in the North Garden of the National Botanical Garden. Every early spring, when the golden color of the wintersweet just emerges from the branches, it attracts countless photography enthusiasts and flower-viewing people to come and check in and take pictures. The wintersweets at Beijing's Reclining Buddha Temple are definitely among the top on the list. ✅The planting scale is large. There are more than 🌳100 wintersweets planted in the Reclining Buddha Temple. The branches are not high, so they can be photographed at a very close distance 📷. ✅There are many varieties of wintersweets, including Suxin, Gouya, Qingkou and many other varieties, which make the whole Reclining Buddha Temple filled with fragrance. ✅The architectural background of red walls and green tiles is unique among the many holy places for viewing wintersweet in Beijing. The golden yellow wintersweet flowers are particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the red walls, which is one of the reasons that attracts countless photography enthusiasts. ✅In addition to wintersweets in the temple, there are hundreds of plump red koi 🐟 swimming around in the release pond.
