With the rising temperatures, Hangzhou's flower center is shifting northward to the blooming azaleas at Linping Park.
Despite the cloudy weather in the past few days, many people still come to capture photos and enjoy the scenery.
Perhaps due to the lack of sunlight, Linping Park takes on a different charm on overcast days. The forest serves as a backdrop, accentuating the colorful azalea flowers.
The park's azalea garden covers an area of 50,000 square meters, featuring over 300 varieties including rhododendrons, mountain azaleas, and more. The flowering season will continue until the end of April.
To visit the azalea garden at Linping Park, visitors can enter through three entrances:
1. East entrance: A 10-minute walk to the azalea garden, or opt for a scenic electric car ride for 10 yuan ($1.4). Parking is available nearby at the hospital for a fee.
2. Shangxiao Alley entrance: A 5-minute walk up about 220 steps, with parking available in nearby neighborhoods for a fee.
3. Yanshan Road entrance: Parking is limited but available, with the subway station nearby.
