Magnolia Blossoms at Ou Yuan Garden in March

【Opening】：On a whim, I suddenly wanted to see the magnolia blossoms at Ou Yuan Garden, even though it was my first time there. The white magnolias in Suzhou had already finished blooming and mostly fallen, their peak bloom being from the end of February to around March 10th. The purple magnolias were still in bloom, and wow, I was stunned as soon as I entered. A group of photographers with their long lenses and tripods had already aimed at the purple magnolias on the west side of the entrance, while the white ones on the east side had mostly withered. I snapped a few photos and then retreated. I wandered around the courtyard and took a few more pictures, but the drone overhead was giving me a headache, and there were so many tour groups, so I quickly left. Gardens are best visited when there are fewer people, and a light rain would make it even more wonderful. Unfortunately, when it rains, the flowers may not be in bloom, and when they bloom, there may not be rain, but good light is also nice. ⛺【Travel Tips】You can reach Ou Yuan Garden by various means. If you have time and are in the mood, you can walk. If you're in a hurry, you can ride a shared bike, but the road is paved with small bricks and can be bumpy. 🛬【Itinerary】：It's recommended to go early in the morning for better lighting and fewer people, making it easier to take photos. If possible, it's best to do some research beforehand, otherwise, just wandering around won't be very rewarding, and it'll just be a quick visit. I'm going back to do some research later. Nearby, you can stroll along Pingjiang Road and see the original old streets and local life. 🧡【Tips】：The garden pass allows only one entry per garden per day, and you can enter directly using facial recognition. You can also visit the nearby Lion Grove Garden and Humble Administrator's Garden. 【Regarding Portrait Rights】The portraits taken involve portrait rights and are shared on Trip.com for non-commercial use only.
