Spring hidden in the temple, the kapok flowers bloom at Nanputuo Temple (with strategy)

It's my first visit to Nanputuo Temple after the New Year, and I saw that touch of red outside the monastery walls. Several kapok trees are in full bloom next to the Wanshou Pagoda by the Life Release Pond! The ancient chants of the temple, with the red flowers in contrast, make one smile! Three great spots to photograph kapok flowers in the temple: 1⃣️ Next to the Wanshou Pagoda by the Life Release Pond, with the Jia Geng building group of Xiamen University as a background, you can capture the flowers and Jia Geng architecture in the same frame. 2⃣️ There are also several tall kapok trees inside and outside the vegetarian restaurant courtyard, but the spots are quite high and not easy to shoot. 3⃣️ In front of the big Buddha character on the back mountain, there is a kapok tree, where you can capture the 'Buddha' and the flowers in the same frame. Other photo highlights: ✅ There are many pigeons by the Life Release Pond, which are great for capturing dynamic shots of the pigeons🕊️. ✅ The temple roofs are beautiful, it's recommended to take close-up shots. 💡Temple visit suggestions: ❌ Do not wear overly revealing clothing, do not pose provocatively in the temple. ❌ Do not make loud noises. ✅ Respect the monks' practice within the temple, do not disturb or overstep. ✅ If you have luggage, you can store it for free in the luggage room on the right side of the entrance. ✅ Make an online reservation in advance. 😍Food recommendations: ✅ For groups, the vegetarian restaurant is a good choice, where you can order dishes. ✅ For solo diners, the Haihui Tower noodle shop is recommended, offering vegetarian options like ramen and satay noodles. ✅ There is a tea shop outside the Heavenly King Hall, where you can drink milk tea and buy vegetarian cakes, and there is a small wooden house coffee shop at the exit, where you can enjoy coffee!
