Wenzhou 1H|The plum blossom waterfall in this Zen temple is so beautiful that it makes me cry

|The plum blossom waterfall in this Zen temple is so beautiful that it makes me cry. 📍Tips: 1⃣ Navigate to "Yongjia Pu'an Zen Temple". There is a small parking lot outside the temple. It is recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds. It takes about an hour from the city. 2⃣ A quiet place for Buddhism, walk slowly and quietly, do not disturb meditation, and take away the trash with you~ · If spring has a shape, it must be the "Plum Blossom Waterfall" of Yongjia Pu'an Temple in Wenzhou! · Taking advantage of the fine weather in recent days, I finally caught up with this limited flower event - the century-old dragon plum trees in the temple bloomed like an avalanche, the branches drooped like waterfalls, and the flower shadows swayed like falling stars. It was so beautiful that I was at a loss for words! · Longmei is a precious variety of plum blossom. Its branches are strong and sturdy, twisted naturally like a swimming dragon. The crown is naturally scattered and the petals are layered. When in full bloom, the flowers are as lush and spectacular as a waterfall. · In the square in front of Yantou Pu'an Temple, there are more than ten longmei trees planted in a scattered manner, including some tall longmei trees that are hundreds of years old. Now they are in full bloom in the first month of spring, with branches overlapping, which is a spectacular sight. · When the green tiles on the eaves meet the red clouds of thousands of trees, and when a touch of subtle fragrance hits the spring in your heart, this thousand-year-old Zen temple hidden in the valley of Yongjia Mountains is performing the most breathtaking romance in February. · Walking up the moss-covered steps, I suddenly saw vigorous branches like a dragon embracing the clouds, and a faint fragrance filled my arms with the breeze. · In front of the temple, two 300-year-old dragon plum trees are twisted towards the sky, and their cinnabar red petals flutter in the breeze. In a trance, it seems as if you have stepped into a fairyland in the sky, with pink romance dancing all over the sky. · In front of the Buddhist temple filled with incense, fallen petals swirled in front of the cushion with the sound of bells and chimes. The kneeling woman had two or three dots of cinnabar plum on her temples, which were even more colorful than the flowers in her hairpin. When the mountain breeze blows, the whole Zen temple rustles. I wonder if it is the three thousand plum blossoms chanting scriptures, or the petals falling to strike the wooden fish. · The Longmei (weeping plum) here is truly the "aristocrat among plum blossoms" - its branches are vigorous and weathered, but its posture is as elegant as a fairy, which is completely different from ordinary plum blossoms. · When the flowers bloom, the branches hang down to the ground, as if telling the earth the thousand-year-old Zen. · Standing under the tree and looking up, the branches of flowers are like a dome, and the sunlight shines through the gaps, casting mottled light and shadows. Every shot is an ancient style blockbuster! No wonder even an 86-year-old grandfather exclaimed: "This is the most beautiful plum blossom I have ever seen!" · The temple also houses ancient bridges from the Song Dynasty and buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The blue bricks and black tiles complement the dragon and plum trees, and the Zen and spring atmosphere blend together here. It is recommended to wear a Hanfu to check in. The hem of the skirt brushes against the fallen flowers, and you can travel back to the elegance of the Tang and Song dynasties in minutes. Unfortunately, the flowering period is short, with the peak in mid-February. You must seize the time to come and see it, otherwise you will have to wait another year! · There are really a lot of people, so it is recommended to come early in the morning or afternoon.
