Magnolia Flowers at Hangzhou's Faxi Temple

Although weekends draw large crowds, the magnolias' impressive height minimizes the impact on the viewing experience and photography.
Upon entering Faxi Temple, turning right into the Five Contemplations Hall courtyard will reveal the 500-year-old ancient magnolia.
It is advisable to arrive early in the morning to avoid the crowds and take advantage of optimal lighting; photography is best around 7 AM.
Faxi Temple enforces restrictions on drone photography within its confines; if aerial shots are desired, it is recommended to launch the drone from outside the temple grounds.
