A One-Day Tour to Chunmuyuan in Heyuan: Visiting the Chapel of Poetry💒

Today, I set off from Guangzhou with friends for a self-driving tour, arriving at Chunmuyuan Town in Heyuan. We planned a date with the Chapel of Poetry💒.
The Chapel of Poetry💒 is the fourth chapter in architect Tadao Ando’s series of chapels. Mr. Ando designed unique stairs and corridors that are simple and elegant yet artistically dynamic, creating a very artistic atmosphere perfect for photos and check-ins.
Mr. Ando’s first three chapels are the Church of the Wind, the Church of the Light, and the Church of the Water. The Chapel of Poetry is his fourth and final chapel work, located in Chunmuyuan Town, Heyuan, Guangdong. The light and shadow in the Chapel of Poetry create just the right artistic ambiance—who wouldn’t appreciate it! This spiral staircase is an absolute photo hotspot📸; just standing here instantly makes for great shots! No matter how you shoot this spiral staircase, it looks amazing, and any pose feels super stylish!
