When the World Heritage Quanzhou, a millennium-old temple, meets the blooming season

It must be a fortunate thing to encounter the city's exclusive blooming season during a trip, right? Now, with these notes saved, you'll never miss the Quanzhou cherry blossom season again~ The blooming periods are close but different: The cherry blossoms at Kaiyuan Temple start to bloom gradually after the New Year, while those at Chongfu Temple bloom later, in March. The types of cherry blossoms differ: Kaiyuan Temple has two types, the redder ones and the pink ones. Chongfu Temple has only pink cherry blossoms. A friend said that the cherry blossoms at Chongfu Temple are very curly, without even a single leaf. The crowd is different: Kaiyuan Temple is more famous and easier to visit, so its cherry blossoms are also well-known, attracting crowds of visitors. The low-key Chongfu Temple has fewer visitors, but because the temple is small, it seems more crowded. So if you want to take photos, you should go early to avoid the crowd. The shape of the trees is different: The cherry trees at Kaiyuan Temple are taller, and I personally think that it's not very easy to take photos with both people and flowers, suitable for simply enjoying and photographing the blossoms. The trees at Chongfu Temple are shorter, making it easy to take photos with both people and flowers in the same frame. If you want to take beautiful photos, Chongfu Temple is recommended. If you happen to visit Quanzhou during the blooming season of Kaiyuan Temple, it should be your first choice. If you miss the blooming season at Kaiyuan Temple or want to take photos with people and flowers together, you can go to Chongfu Temple. Of course, for the locals in Quanzhou, if you have time, the cherry blossoms at both places are worth checking out.
