Life advice: Before leaving Hangzhou, you must visit Deshou Palace.

“Palace walls cannot contain the vibrancy of spring, as white plum blossoms climb the red eaves, transforming the spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty into poetry.” 📍 Location: Southern Song Dynasty Deshou Palace Ruins Museum 💰 Tickets: Free! Free! (Reserve through the "Southern Song Dynasty Deshou Palace Ruins Museum" mini program!) 🚗 Transportation: Take Subway Line 5/7 to Jiangcheng Road Station, Exit D. The red walls are a 5-minute walk away! 💡 Photo Tips ❶ Shoot upwards, framing the red walls! Avoid crowds, zoom in 2x for close-ups, use the palace walls as a backdrop, and let the plum blossoms lean into the frame for an ethereal feel! ❷ Capture the light! On sunny afternoons between 3-4 pm, sunlight filters through the branches, casting golden fragments on the red walls, creating an amazing atmosphere! ❸ Dress the part! Hanfu, a neo-Chinese hairstyle, and a plain coat, paired with a traditional lantern, will transform you into the heroine of a Song Dynasty painting! ❹ Hidden spot! The plum blossom grove on the west side of Cifu Palace offers fewer crowds and denser blossoms, allowing you to capture the red walls and the flying eaves of the ancient palace in the same frame!
