Real-time Plum Blossom Photos at Xixi Wetland's Hongyuan Area: They're in Full Bloom!

On a drizzly day, let's take a look at the spectacular plum blossoms at Xixi Wetland. 📍Location and Parking The Wujiawan entrance of Xixi Wetland is the starting point of this plum blossom viewing journey. Parking is very convenient at the entrance, costing only 5 yuan per hour, making it hassle-free for those driving. 🎫Ticket Information Tickets are priced at 80 yuan. Holders of the Hangzhou Park Card can enter for free, saving you some money. 📸Best Photo Spots - Spot 1: About 300 meters inside from the Wujiawan entrance, there's a charming plum blossom tree by the bridge on the right-hand side, and another one by the bank. When composing your shot, use props like umbrellas, books, or small mirrors in the foreground or background to add depth. For a unique perspective, try standing on the opposite bank of the river and capture the plum blossoms along with the surrounding water village scenery. - Spot 2: After entering Hongyuan and passing the twelve zodiac animal heads, turn left to see a row of blooming plum blossoms. The plum blossoms on both sides of the small bridge on the left exude a unique "revival of an old tree" charm in the rain, making for atmospheric photos with every shot. 🌟Practical Tips Don't hesitate to take photos in the rain: Don't worry about whether to go out and take photos on a rainy day. The answer is definitely yes! Hangzhou in the drizzle is even more poetic, and the plum blossoms captured in the rain have a unique charm and artistic conception. Enjoy a slow pace of life: Xixi Wetland is vast and a great place to relax. Admire the plum blossoms while enjoying a cup of tea, savoring the moment. There are even courtyards where you can sit and listen to the rain, forgetting your worries and immersing yourself in this tranquil environment. Enrich your photos: When photographing plum blossoms, don't just focus on the flowers themselves. Incorporate people, umbrellas, books, and other small props to add a storytelling element to your photos. Also, don't forget to look back at the path you've taken. Sometimes, a glance back reveals unexpectedly stunning scenery.
