Top azalea destination in Hangzhou, rush over for free photoshoots.

Help! I found Hangzhou's best-kept secret "azalea paradise"! The 30,000m² sea of flowers on Linping Mountain has exploded into a palette of colors. There are fewer people and more flowers now, so don't miss out! You'll have to wait another year!

📍Location: Linping Park, Hangzhou (direct navigation)
🎫Tickets: Free! Free! Free! Important things must be said three times
⏰Flowering period: Now - May, in full bloom

🔥Must-see highlights:
✅ 30,000m² of flowers all over the mountains: From the foot of the mountain to the hillside, layers of red, pink, purple, and white overlap, like an overturned Monet palette. Your phone's storage will be full of photos!
✅ 300+ rare species: The Azalea Garden hides rare species from all over the country. Different flower types and colors are all gathered here, a delight for plant lovers!
✅ Immersive flower viewing route: Go up along the mountain trail, with flowers welcoming you on both sides. Snapshots are all magazine covers

📸Photo spots:
1️⃣ Core area of the Azalea Garden: Dense flower walls and waterfalls, amazing for overhead and upward shots
2️⃣ Corner of the mountain trail: Take photos with the sea of flowers as the background to create a sense of depth
3️⃣ Ancient pavilions: A perfect match with Hanfu! You'll be transported into an ancient costume drama in minutes

🚗Transportation guide:
✔️ Self-driving: Navigate to "East Gate of Linping Park". There are many empty spaces in the underground parking lot
✔️ Subway: Take Line 9 to Qiushan Avenue Station, Exit B, and walk 300m to the entrance of the rotating greenway

💡Super practical tips:
▫️It is recommended to go before 9am or after 4pm, the light is soft and not backlit
▫️Wearing light-colored clothes (white/pink/light yellow) will make your photos look better. Ancient Hanfu will make you look like a goddess
▫️Bring a small stool! Low-angle shots of people make them look more charming than flowers
▫️Remember to bring mosquito repellent + sunscreen, there are many mosquitoes in the sea of flowers, but there is no shade

Nearby hidden gems: Climb to the top of Linping Pavilion to overlook the city, and stop by the Millennium Pagoda of "Donglai Pavilion" along the way; after going down the mountain, walk 10 minutes to "Ideal Yintai City" for some Hangzhou cuisine + milk tea, a perfect weekend in one click!

Hangzhou's spring limited romance is now online! A free and niche azalea paradise, quickly make an appointment with your besties/partner to flood your social media with beautiful photos!

Summary: Linping Park Azalea Flower Sea, unlock 30,000m² of stunning flower scenery for free, with 300+ rare species gathered together. The flowering period is until May. The subway is super convenient, and it's amazing to take photos in light-colored clothes or Hanfu! Nearby attractions + food can be done in one stop. You'll regret it if you miss it!
