11-Oct-2011 - Global Times |
Hangzhou's iconic flower is known as 'sweet osmanthus' and it usually bursts into bloom between late September and early October each year. During the recent National Day Holiday, large numbers of citizens and tourists in Hangzhou went sightseeing in scenic areas where they had the chance to enjoy the scent of sweet osmanthus in and around the city.
Here is a selection of sites for sweet osmanthus viewing in Hangzhou:
Linyin Temple
The Linyin Temple is known as one of the most prestigious Buddhist temples in China. While tourists come in admiration of the exclusive and transcendent spirit they may find themselves surrounded by lush green sweet osmanthus trees bearing tiny delicate yellow flowers. The autumn wind carrying refreshing fragrance of the sweet osmanthus flowers helps make a trip to the temple a more enjoyable experience. Linyin Temple is connected to downtown Hangzhou by bus NO.7, 807, 837 and tour bus NO.1, 2, 4 and 13. |
