Huiyin Gaoli Temple

The wisdom from Gaoli Temple, the place where the plum blossoms of Hangzhou bloom earliest, was initially built during the Song Dynasty. It has historical ties with the ancient Goryeo kingdom. After destruction and reconstruction, the temple now houses a rotating wooden pagoda in its scripture hall, which is the largest of its kind in China. The fierce winds and cold rain have scattered the plum blossoms, leaving only a group of youngsters seeking shelter and frolicking. No one else comes to check in anymore; the flowers have fallen and turned to mud, just as people leave and the warmth of tea fades away.

When Qianwang Temple was still crowded with people, I spent a quiet afternoon in this incredibly low-profile temple in Hangzhou.

A quiet place by the West Lake. On the west side of West Lake, on the road of Santai Mountain, I go to Huiyin Temple to see plum blossoms when I'm free.
