The plum blossoms at the temple are in bloom.

Jiangnan has nothing to offer, so I'll give you a spring branch 🌸
When the century-old plum blossoms bloom in this thousand-year-old temple,
Spring in Jiangnan is about to begin.
I've searched all over Jiangnan, but these six-petal red plums still amaze me the most.
Against the backdrop of the yellow walls, their subtle fragrance creates a Zen-like atmosphere.
