Spring in Hangzhou: 4 Must-See Photo Spots Along the Grand Canal》

The Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal is incredibly beautiful in spring, and these 4 photo spots are a must-visit! Don't miss Qiaoxi Historic Street, which was a bustling "Little Shanghai" during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, historical relics such as the God of Wealth Temple and Zhang Daxian Temple are well-preserved, with ancient riverfront docks and residential buildings lining the streets. Stand in the streets and take a casual shot against the backdrop of ancient buildings for a vintage-style blockbuster.
Xiangji Temple is also worth a visit. As the only thousand-year-old temple in the city center of Hangzhou, the ancient trees and blooming flowers in the temple complement each other in spring, with yellow walls and black tiles, and flying eaves. Whether you are shooting architecture or portraits, it is full of charm.
There is also the Dadou Road Historical and Cultural Block, with residential buildings from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and wide and tidy streets. Taking pictures here is full of retro atmosphere. Take advantage of the spring season to capture the beautiful moments by the canal!
