The ultimate in Chinese aesthetics, the magnolia flowers at Changchun Temple are now in bloom!

When temples meet red walls, black tiles, and white flowers, Chinese aesthetics are perfectly embodied.
On a sunny day at the end of February, the magnolia flowers at Changchun Temple are quietly blooming✨

✔️FYI: Changchun Temple is not a Buddhist temple, but a Taoist temple. The people inside are not monks, but Taoist priests. The main hall enshrines a statue of Wang Lingguan, flanked by statues of the four guardian deities: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
❓What is Taoism: Taoism is a religion that uses "Tao" and "virtue" to educate people. It is a religion native to China.

👀Visiting and photography📸 tips: As a Wuhan native, this was my first time inside. I had only eaten vegetarian food here before.
These days, with the magnolia flowers in bloom, it's crowded, and it's expected to be even more crowded on weekends. Good photo spots require queuing.
