Cherry Blossoms at Tianyuan Temple, Spring Reflections on the Red Pavilion

Spring is approaching, and the cherry blossoms at Tianyuan Temple in Tamsui are quietly blooming. As I walk up the mountain path, I can see the layers of cherry blossoms surrounding the majestic red dome from afar, like a fairyland. Stepping into the temple courtyard, the light pink Yoshino cherry blossoms sway gently under the blue sky. A gentle breeze blows, and the petals fall like dancing snowflakes, covering the stone steps and benches, decorating the entire Tianyuan Temple with a dreamy and serene atmosphere. Visitors come in droves, some stopping to take photos, others silently gazing, intoxicated by this springtime spectacle. I climb the steps to the observation platform, overlooking the entire cherry blossom forest, with the distant Tamsui River and green mountains complementing each other, creating a picturesque scene. The afternoon sun is warm, casting dappled light through the branches, adding a touch of tenderness to the cherry blossoms. Devotees quietly pray inside the hall, the sound of the bell reverberating, intertwining with the swaying cherry blossoms to create a peaceful and harmonious picture. As the sun sets, the twilight dyes the sea of flowers with a layer of golden powder. Reluctantly, I leave, looking back at Tianyuan Temple, the red pavilion embraced by cherry blossoms, still serene and splendid, like a beautiful dream in the spring.
