In the TV series Blossoms Shanghai, Abao first visited his first love Xuezhi's home when it was snowing heavily and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. Xuezhi leaned against the window, looking at the fragrant wintersweet in the yard, waiting for her lover to come. People's meetings and partings are like plum blossoms blooming and falling. Fortunately, there are plum blossoms in the world, so that people's emotions have a place to rest. So the people of Kunming are happy. The annual "Longquan Plum Blossom Viewing" is the most beautiful comfort at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Longtan Park was built with "Longquan Plum Blossom Viewing" as the main line. It has now built a 520-acre plum blossom viewing garden, which is a famous plum blossom viewing place in Kunming. The wintersweet group (wintersweet bonsai) that has been successfully introduced and planted after years of efforts forms a unique flower feast of two plum blossoms blooming together every winter and early spring. It is known as one of the new sixteen scenic spots in Kunming for its oldest tree age, the most varieties, and the largest area. The poet Zhang Zao has a poem: "Thinking of the things I regret in my life, the plum blossoms are all over the South Mountain." Someone said, this may be us thirty years later, what a fragile moment. However, even if there is nothing to regret in this world, life is a dilemma after another, but we still have reason to believe that hope will also come one after another like the quietly blooming plum blossoms.

The scenery in Kunming is so unique. It’s already winter in the north, but here there are flowers blooming all year round! A faint fragrance wafted from the plum garden in Heilongtan Park. As I walked along the path, I found that several wintersweet trees had already bloomed. The sparse shadows are slanting, and the faint fragrance is floating in the air.

and Playgrounds in the Park Heilongtan Park Cultural Notes and Cultural Sites Inside Kunming Heilongtan Park, there are two ponds, divided into two by a stone bridge in the middle, one clear and one murky. The waters of clarity and murkiness do not mix, and it is said that even the fish do not cross the boundary, which is quite miraculous. Within Heilongtan, there is a rare large plum garden known as Longquan Tanmei. The Tang plums in the garden are said to have been transplanted from the Nanzhao period, and together with the Yuan plums from the Anning Caoxi Temple, are considered the most precious ancient plums in Yunnan. The park also features Lin Zexu Square, Lin Zexu, a native of Houguan in Fujian, was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations during the Jiaqing reign of the Qing dynasty and a national hero during the Opium Wars. In the year of Jiamao (1819), Lin Zexu went to Yunnan to preside over the provincial examinations and visited Heilongtan to view the Tang plums. After the Opium Wars, in the year of Dingwei (1847), Lin Zexu served as the Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou and revisited Heilongtan. During his tenure as Governor-General, Lin Zexu did many practical things for the people, thus he was deeply loved by the people of Yunnan. Today, there is a story about him praying for rain in Kunming's Heilongtan. It is said that when Lin Zexu first arrived as the Governor-General, Kunming was experiencing a severe drought. He went to Heilongtan to pray for rain, and in front of the Black Dragon Palace, he said to the Dragon God, 'I am the parental official of this region, and you are the deity of this place. You should consider the livelihood of the people. Now, the prolonged drought has caused the crops to wither and the people to starve. How can you bear not to help?' After Lin Zexu finished speaking and boarded his sedan, the sun was scorching hot in front of the sedan, but behind it, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain poured down, alleviating the drought and leading to a bountiful harvest. ⏳Visiting Time: The park is open for free, and the visiting time is 2 to 3 hours.

The 'Longquan Plum Blossom Exploration' spot within the Black Dragon Pool Park is acclaimed as one of Kunming's new sixteen scenic spots. 🌟Highlights: The annual 'Longquan Plum Blossom Exploration' Kunming Plum Blossom Festival is an essential flower event for Kunming residents to welcome spring and seek blessings: admiring the plum scenery, savoring the fragrance, and seeking the fun of plums. To truly appreciate the blooming of a flower and to listen to the magical secrets of nature, one suddenly realizes how wonderful the garden full of plum blossoms is. Following the main road of the park, potted plum blossoms quietly bloom on both sides of the road, bringing a whiff of plum fragrance. From the 'Longquan Ancient Plum' of the 'Eight Scenic Spots of Yuan Dynasty Kunming' to the 'Longquan Plum Blossom Exploration' of the 'New Sixteen Scenic Spots of Kunming,' exploring plums in the Black Dragon Pool Park has become an excellent experience for cleansing the soul and leisurely wild fun amidst the changing and unchanging shadows and fragrances of plum blossoms. The plum blossoms on the branches are dotted like watercolors blooming on a palette, but did you know that each petal of the plum blossom carries the story of the years? 👍Most recommended: The name 'Black Dragon Pool' originates from a mysterious legend. It is rumored that a black dragon king once hid here, yet the pool never dries up. The entire Dragon Pool is divided into two ponds, separated by a bridge in the middle, one pond is crystal clear to the bottom, and the other has murky water. It's as if there is a magical boundary between them, and even the fish seem not to cross the boundary. 🚉Transportation tips: The park's main entrance is accessible by bus ❤Recommended reason: It is a park with a cultural atmosphere Currently, it is open to the public for free Opening hours are from 8 am to 6 pm

Park opening hours: 8:00-18:00 (No admission after 17:30) A short story about Black Dragon Pond: Speaking of Heilongtan, it has a long history. According to Ruan Yuan, the Heishui Temple is here. Because of the black dragon legend, this place has become a place for Kunming people to worship and pray for rain during the Tang and Song dynasties. In the early Ming Dynasty, Duke Mu of Qian built a large-scale project here and named it Black Dragon Palace. There is a tassel flower next to the dragon on the right hand side of the entrance. The tassel flower is relatively tall, so there will be more upward shots, but now is also the time when the most flowers are in bloom. The azaleas are in the Azalea Valley. After entering the gate, follow the road to the red maple forest, go up the stairs, and see the sign for Azalea Valley. There are many check-in spots inside, which require careful appreciation.

Black Dragon Pool Park Cultural Notes and Cultural Attractions Attractions The Black Dragon Palace is located inside the Black Dragon Pool Park at the junction of Changchong Mountain and Longquan Mountain in Kunming. It is said to be the site of the dragon's veins, and historical records indicate that this Taoist temple has existed since the Han Dynasty. Its predecessor was the Black Water Shrine, which has been destroyed many times in history. During the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, it was rebuilt or repaired multiple times. What we see now is the structure established during the Ming Dynasty and renamed as Black Water Palace, which was later expanded during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In front of this Taoist temple, there are two pools of water, one clear and one muddy, which have never dried up. During a drought in the Ming Dynasty, many common people came to this Dragon Palace to pray for rain. The ancient Taoist temple has always enshrined the Dragon King. The Black Water Palace we see today was initially built in the Ming Dynasty, and after renovation and expansion, it has become the oldest shrine in Kunming. At the very inside of the Black Dragon Palace, a black dragon is sculpted, guarding the place. Above the lower temple, the Black Dragon Palace, there is an upper temple, Longquan Temple, which is the oldest and most sacred Taoist site in Yunnan and the center for Taoist activities. During the New Year and festivals, the Black Dragon Palace welcomes a peak period of pilgrims. The Black Dragon Palace has a long history and culture in Kunming. The ancients regarded it as the Dragon Palace, praying for abundant rainfall in Kunming. At the same time, it is also the oldest Taoist temple in Kunming, a place of Taoist culture, inheriting the ancient Taoist culture. At the foot of Longquan Mountain in the Black Dragon Pool Park, there are two pools of water, one clear and one muddy, interconnected but the muddy does not become clear, and the clear does not become muddy, a wonder. ⏳Visiting Time: Free admission, the visiting time for attractions is 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

It's perfect for taking photos, and the flowers are especially fragrant. It's beautiful to take photos of people and scenery. The plum blossoms have just bloomed, and will bloom better next week. There are also yellow wintersweets, which are both fragrant and beautiful. Walk around the park and you will see many plum trees, big and small, in various shapes. Location: Kunming Black Dragon Pool Park. It is nice to take photos in the morning or afternoon when the sun shines obliquely. You can have a vegetarian meal at Longquan Temple at noon, which tastes pretty good.

Indeed, it’s freezing cold everywhere ❄️, and I’m trying my best to write some notes 📝. If I don’t post them, the opening ceremony of the exhibition will be over. It is also a good choice to visit the exhibition during the New Year holiday👍 "Auspicious Year of the Dragon, Beautiful Spring Scenery in Yunling" - The five-person Chinese painting exhibition welcoming the New Year at Luotuowan Art Museum will be held at Luotuowan Art Museum from February 3 to March 15, 2024! "The trees are rustling in the wind, and the Nanshan Mountains are quiet and secluded. The bamboos are lush and the pines are flourishing." This sentence from the Book of Songs uses Nanshan Mountains and bamboo forests as the background. It praises the beauty and tranquility of the natural scenery and also expresses the yearning for a peaceful life. Flowers are in full bloom and the world is beautiful. Luotuowan Art Museum is located beside Heilongtan Park, which is home to a thousand-year-old plum tree. The participating painters are like an old plum tree that blooms proudly in the snow. They are not afraid of difficulties and continue to move forward and add luster to their art.

Recently I really like visiting Kunming’s “old-fashioned” parks. They are very old, so old that the stone lions and I in the old photos were about the same age as the hairy pigs are now. Suddenly I think it is amazing that these “old-fashioned” parks can welcome and see off generations of tourists for so many years. No matter how time passes, spring comes and goes, year after year, they are still there. Perhaps there are traces of being caressed by time, or perhaps the stone lions have been ridden to a shine, but they also change color year after year, green in spring, colorful in summer, red in autumn, and winter? There is no cold wind and snow, but plum blossoms, winter cherries and magnolias are in full bloom, and there are tall and green pines and cypresses. And there is also a childhood in the warm winter sun... It belongs to me and Maomao Pig. Direct navigation to Heilongtan Park by self-driving Lo: Route 9, Route 79, Route 128 : Take Line 3 to Sijiaying and take a taxi to Heilongtan, or take a shared bicycle, it is very close :free The park is actually very big. Don't just walk along the stairs. After visiting the Dragon King Temple, you can walk out to the corridor on the right side of Longtan and go up the mountain along the path opposite. The lawn in the east area is very nice. You can bring a picnic mat and relax there for an afternoon. If you keep walking down the road, you will reach the Plum Garden, which is a good way to make a loop. Next, continue unearthing treasures at the “old-school” parks.
