Endless summer begins, and it's time to hurry up and enjoy the hydrangea flowers in Fuzhou

Fuzhou's hydrangea season basically revolves around three places: Shanshuihui, Guling Changtianxi Flower Field, and Liangdi Village, all free of charge.
Considering convenience for kids, we gave up on Liangdi due to the long travel distance.
However, since we are not very familiar with horticulture and varieties, this sharing is quite superficial, please forgive any mistakes.
✨Experience
1️⃣ Shanshuihui Garden Restaurant Shanshuihui Min-Yue Cuisine Banquet Wedding Cantonese Dim Sum (Photos 1-7)
🌸Garden-style viewing experience
Beautiful flowers are planted in front of the restaurant, the plants are not tall but the flowers are large. The best shots are taken by crouching in the passage between the two gardens.
After taking photos of the flowers, you can also shoot by the big trees and lawn, but if the venue is rented, it will be closed off for setup.
There are many people taking photos here on weekends, some even trespass into the fenced area, causing staff to repeatedly warn them, which is exhausting.
🅿 Parking is convenient, and it is the closest flower viewing spot to the city center.
2️⃣ Guling Changtianxi Flower Field Changtianxi Flower Field (Photos 8-13)
🌸A fairy-tale-like forest sea of flowers
Using the valley terrain, flower fields are planted at different heights. Some plants are as tall as a person, standing there gives you a hydrangea background, with flowers covering the hills behind.
Note: When we went last weekend, some flowers had already withered, so you need to carefully find good spots for photos, and good flower clusters usually have many groups waiting.
🏕 Even if there are no hydrangeas, Guling's summer resort season is just beginning. The sunset at Jiah Lake and the city night view still attract us to visit every year.
🚶 There are many steps here, no barrier-free facilities, so it’s not suitable for kids who can’t walk well (my younger sister didn’t go because she fell asleep in the car).
🅿 Park at Yingyue Lake Park parking lot, which is a cave, so no sun exposure, and walking to the flower sea is not tiring.
🏠 Accommodation (Photos 14-19)
Before or after flower viewing, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Fuzhou at Jiah Lake parking lot.
This time we chose to go up the mountain in the morning and stayed at Yunshang Wangrongtai Villa next to Jiah Lake parking lot at noon.
Hourly standard room 158 RMB.
The breeze is very cool, after lunch and a nap, go back to enjoy the flowers.
You can also eat at nearby farms after flower viewing and enjoy the night view at Jiah Lake parking lot in the evening.
The portions here are very large, so be careful not to order too much.
