Seeking the gradient colors of Hangzhou in November

I didn't have the chance to experience the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou during the Asian Games, but I found stunning gradient colors in Hangzhou at the end of November. I've been to Hangzhou many times, and in the past, it was more about nostalgia, missing everything about my school days. Every time I went there, I would stroll along the route I used to take, reminiscing about the 151 tram on Yan'an Road. With two braids trailing behind me, occasionally a braid would come loose, the driver would get off the bus, pull the wire a few times, align it with the track, and then continue driving. This time, I was more in search of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou at the end of November was like a knocked-over palette. Cycling on the road from Lingyin to Beishan Street, the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, and the golden plane tree leaves slowly fell with the wind. All worries can be put aside for the moment, and there is an irresistible urge to shout out loud. It's really too comfortable. From Jiuxi Yanshu to Lingyin Yongfu Zen Temple, then to Xiling Bridge and Bai Causeway, along Nanshan Road from Taiziwan to Huagang Guanyu, the golden or earthy yellow leaves are interspersed with red Japanese maples, reflected on the water surface, it's hard not to feel that the people of Hangzhou are fortunate.

A temple in Hangzhou that is little known to tourists

Yongfu Temple, which was established at the same time as the famous Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, is hidden beneath the ancient forest at the foot of Shisun Peak to the west, known well by the faithful but little by tourists. The temple is built against the mountain, with a delicate layout, and exudes tranquility and peace.

I was healed by the red leaves and kittens at Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou when winter came

🍁Live on December 17th I came to chase the last red leaves in Hangzhou on the weekend. On Saturday, I already saw the red leaves falling one by one. So I came to Yongfu Temple early on Sunday morning. I wanted to explore this temple more, but I didn't expect to be healed by the red leaves still left in the temple and the kittens that I met unexpectedly. I entered Yongfu Temple before 8 o'clock, and there were only a few tourists. I met a big sister who showed me the way to the classic first picture. We waited for the sun to shine on the stone bridge. I also met two cat photographers and took pictures of the cute kittens climbing trees in the sun.

At the entrance of the last courtyard, the casual strength came again, so dinner was booked at Guiyu Mountain House. As soon as there are more tourists, everything looks... sigh😑 Bought a casual coffee, and then walked out the same way, leaving... took a taxi all the way to Yangmei Ridge Village. 🌟Highlights: Yangmei Ridge Village is located on the south line of the West Lake Scenic Area, and is the source of the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies in the Qianjiang Scenic Area. The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with lush trees and beautiful scenery; the village used to produce a lot of bayberries, and now there are large tea gardens.
