In memory, osmanthus flowers always bloom around the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the night when the moon is high, smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers and eat hairy crabs, which is the end of autumn.
This year, the osmanthus flower has been in bloom for a little more than half a month, and the most important thing is the weather. The continuous heat of the early October disrupted the "biological clock" of osmanthus blooming, and the recent sharp drop in temperature has doubled the pressure on the fragile and sensitive flower buds.
Fortunately, the strong osmanthus flowers bloom quietly in the cold wind. Taking advantage of the flowering period, today, Zhejiang Youjun recommends 5 private guizhou places in Zhejiang, the branches of the century-old gui trees, the yellow flowers dotted in layers of green leaves, and the fragrant aroma does not need to be drunk.

Although there are many places in Hangzhou where there are osmanthus flowers, it is not an exaggeration to say that Manjuelong is a place born of osmanthus flowers. Manjuelong Village is located in the southwest of the West Lake, under the south peak and the White Crane Peak, is actually a valley at the southern foot of the south peak, so it is also known as Manjia Lane, since the Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous place of Hangzhou Osmanthus flower.
Autumn winds, heavy dew, 3 kilometers long road, osmanthus flowers. As soon as the autumn wind blows, the osmanthus flowers of the valley are sprinkled with the wind, and the aroma is striking, and a vast picture of smoke and rain in Jiangnan is opened.
In autumn, the road is lined with tea rooms built by villagers, so sit down and drink a cup of tea, take a bite of osmanthus chestnut soup, and gossip about the family; or wander the quiet path winding under the osmanthus trees, enjoy the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and steal half a day's leisure. Under the osmanthus flower, you can forget the labor of the work completely.

When they come to Hangzhou, many people will choose to visit the famous Lingyin Temple. In fact, just a few hundred meters above the Lingyin Temple, between the mountains and forests, there is also a temple hidden, with black tiles and yellow walls, like a hermit monk living in a knot, more niche and quieter. It was once a royal inner courtyard Buddhist temple during the Southern Song Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1600 years since its initial construction.
The temple seen today was rebuilt in 2003, and several temples and temples are scattered in the mountains, breaking the central axis structure of the conventional traditional temple, but preserving the ecology of the surrounding mountains and forests to the greatest extent.

In the Buddhist cosmology, TushiTian is the fourth heaven of the realm of desire, and the inner courtyard of TushiTiangong is the place where the future Buddha Maitreya Bodhisattva speaks for heavenly beings. In the distance, Tushi Tiangong and Longhua Temple looked at each other impressively, and the Zen was far away.

Under the fragrant osmanthus tree, a square table is set up, spread out with a blue printed tablecloth, and then a bench is pulled, and a pot of osmanthus tea is brewed, which smells lazy.
