🌟 Highlights:
In this serene Buddhist temple, four plum trees are in full bloom (February 25, overcast). They are expected to begin to wither in a little over a week.
The four plum trees are located next to the water feature on the right side of the main hall, exuding a subtle fragrance in a quiet corner.
The combination of the red plum blossoms and the classic yellow of the Buddhist temple creates a picturesque scene of classical beauty.
