Come to Qiaoxi and See the Trumpet Creeper 'Ignite' Gongchen Bridge

Location: Hangzhou · Gongchen Bridge West Historical and Cultural District 🏡
My Homestay: Zhenheju (right next to the sea of flowers!)
Late summer in Qiaoxi Zhi Street is breathtaking! The century-old Gongchen Bridge is surrounded by a cascade of vibrant trumpet creeper flowers! 🌺 The orange-red blossoms pour down like waterfalls from the old brick walls and ancient bridge railings, blending with the emerald waves of the canal and the silhouettes of rowing boats to create a stunning early summer Jiangnan painting. 🎨
Why is now the perfect time to visit Qiaoxi and stay at Zhenheju?
Exclusive Flower Window View: Open the window or step onto the terrace to see the perfect frame of trumpet creeper flowers and Gongchen Bridge! The morning and evening light naturally adds a filter to your photos! 📸
Stroll Under the Flower-Covered Ancient Street: Walk along the cobblestone paths, look up to see a sea of orange-red flowers, and admire the historic buildings (the Knife, Scissors, and Sword Museum and the Umbrella Museum are here!). The atmosphere is unmatched! 🏮
Enjoy Quiet Moments: Avoid the daytime crowds and enjoy the serene beauty of the ancient bridge and canal wrapped in trumpet creeper flowers in the early morning or late evening near the homestay.
Immerse in Slow Water Town Life: Watch boats come and go, breathe in the faint floral fragrance—this is what summer in Hangzhou should feel like. 🍃
Rest by the canal, admire the trumpet creeper flowers, and dream of Jiangnan in this historic district.
