April is the time when the lilacs of Fayuan Temple are in full bloom.
Fame is outside, so there is a lot of traffic.
The surrounding area has been turned into a Fayuan Temple historical and cultural district, and the hutongs are relatively clean and tidy.
Fayuan Temple is also relatively close to Ox Street, so walking around Fayuan Temple can basically consume most of the day's time.

The northern monasteries have high latitude and cold climate, which is not suitable for planting linden trees, so most of them choose to plant lilacs.
The leaves of the lilac resemble a heart, representing sincerity!
The aroma is very important for the Buddha, and it just so happens that the lilac flower has a deep aroma!
Lilac bouquet also resembles a pagoda shape.
The lilac tree is older, so the bouquet is not dense and slightly sparse.
The origin of Fayuan Temple is the Temple of Huizhong during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
