For a springtime flower viewing, I recommend this place in Chengdu, which will blow up your social media!

Spring has truly arrived, and various flowers in Chengdu have started to make their appearance. The purple-leaf plums are now at their best viewing period, which is very short, typically around 1 week. Today, I want to recommend 4 places in Chengdu to view the purple-leaf plums, hoping it will be useful to everyone! Take advantage of the weekend's warm spring and blooming flowers to go have a look! 1️⃣ Donghu Park 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 8 Donghu Park Station Exit A, 5 minutes walk The purple-leaf plums in Donghu Park are planted along the riverside, forming rows of flower corridors. The trees here are quite short, and you can easily touch them. There are almost no leaves on the trees, just full branches of flowers. 2️⃣ Jinsha Riverside Park 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4 Qingjiang West Road Station Exit E, 15 minutes walk The purple-leaf plums in Jinsha Riverside Park grow on the slopes by the river and are very photogenic. Especially under the trees, where the park's benches are placed, sitting there is very comfortable and relaxing. In the morning, there are mostly people walking nearby, but by 9 or 10 o'clock, there are a lot of people taking photos. 3️⃣ Tianfu Software Park Area C 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 1 Tianfu Fifth Street Station Exit C2 The purple-leaf plums in Tianfu Software Park are planted around the parking lot, growing very densely. Cars parked under the purple-leaf plum trees look very romantic. The trees here are also quite close together, and in some places, you can easily touch them. Especially on a sunny day, the purple-leaf plums can be photographed sparkling and translucent. 4️⃣ Wenjiang Kelin Road West Section 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4 Wansheng Station Exit A, 20 minutes walk Going down Kelin Road West Section, both sides of the road are lined with purple-leaf plum trees. The rows of trees are quite dense, and seeing such a large scale of purple-leaf plums for the first time is a bit shocking. The flowers here are all in bloom, so you can go with confidence! There's nothing to eat nearby, as it's on the roadside of an industrial park. There are small stalls at noon where you can grab something to eat. 📸【Some tips】 ① The color of the purple-leaf plum is white with a hint of purple, so try to find a dark background or the sky to highlight the flowers ② You don't have to arrive too early at Donghu Park, before 9 o'clock there are more people jogging and walking around ③ Make sure to walk to the opposite side of the river in Donghu Park, if there's no wind, you can capture the reflection of the flower trees, which is stunning. ④ The purple-leaf plum trees on Kelin Road West Section are on both sides of the main road, there are a lot of trucks, so be careful when taking photos ⑤ On cloudy days at Kelin Road West Section, you can arrive before 10:00, as there will be many cars parked under the trees on both sides of the road; on sunny days, it's better to arrive after 10:00, if you come too early, the sun won't be shining on them

Wenshu Monastery

#chinatravel Spent a day temple hopping around Chengdu in Sichuan Province and it was honestly such a vibe. Each temple has its own energy, and it’s the perfect way to slow down and soak in the peaceful side of the city. Started at Wenshu Monastery which was super calm and had monks chanting softly in the background. The tea garden there is a must, I sat with a cup and just chilled under the trees for like an hour. Then hit up Qingyang Palace, which has Taoist vibes and some wild looking statues. The whole place feels super balanced and kind of magical. Also stopped by Daci Temple which is right in the middle of the city but still quiet once you step inside. The contrast between ancient temples and modern buildings is actually kinda cool. If you want a break from the city noise and a little dose of calm, temple hopping in Chengdu totally hits. Just go with the flow, light some incense, and enjoy the moment.
