Come to Hongen Temple and encounter a romantic rendezvous with flowers and Zen.


I finally made it to Chongqing Hongen Temple for the spring flower season! Today, I went on a spring outing with my friends, and I want to share this healing beauty of spring with you all ✨

🌼 About the scenery
The red plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and ancient temple architecture here are perfectly integrated. The petals and red walls and green tiles complement each other, making it both simple and romantic! In particular, the cherry blossom trees in front of the Mahavira Hall are blooming very luxuriantly. Taking pictures under the trees is really amazing! It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes for better photos~

🌸 [Check-in Guide]
1️⃣ In front of the Mahavira Hall: Two century-old cherry blossom trees are in full bloom, and the pink and white sea of flowers is super compatible with the red walls and golden tiles! Come in Hanfu to take pictures, and you can get ancient style blockbusters in minutes~
2️⃣ Hongen Pavilion: Magnificent and simple, as if breaking into a historical scroll. The vermilion lacquer pillars stand proudly, like the guardians of time; the blue tiles and flying eaves are scattered, like swallowtails cutting through the sky.

📸 Photo Tips
1️⃣ The light is soft before 9:00 in the morning or in the evening, which is suitable for taking portraits
2️⃣ Use cherry blossoms as a foreground blur to increase the layering of the picture
3️⃣ Stand on the stone steps and look back, capturing natural dynamics
4️⃣ Wearing Hanfu or JK uniforms will better match the scene
