The serene beauty of blue and yellow: A photo guide to Hanshan Temple in Suzhou.

In autumn, Suzhou is a must-visit to check in at Hanshan Temple, immortalized by the poet Zhang Ji! Here, you’ll find not only the solemnity of an ancient temple over a thousand years old but also the stunning ginkgo and maple leaves that make it impossible to look away~ 👉Travel Guide 📍Address: No. 24 Hanshan Temple Lane, Gusu District ⏰Hours: 07:30-18:00 (last entry at 17:30) 🎫Ticket: 18 RMB/person 📸Best photo spots: 1⃣ Ginkgo Avenue in front of the Hall of Heavenly Kings Golden ginkgo leaves cover the stone path, paired with red walls and the ancient temple—every shot is a masterpiece! It’s best to come before 9 AM when there are fewer people and the light is perfect~ 2⃣ Maple leaves in the backyard of the Bell Tower Fiery red maple leaves set against the antique architecture create a full autumn vibe! The sunlight from 3 to 5 PM is ideal for photos, with amazing light and shadow effects! 3⃣ Jiangxinzhou Platform Here you can see the stele of Maple Bridge Night Mooring. At dusk, the sunset shines on the ancient temple, making silhouette and backlit shots incredibly poetic! ✨Useful tips: - Wearing Hanfu or plain-colored clothes makes your photos stand out more - Remember to bring a telephoto lens to capture eaves and maple leaves in the same frame - The vegetarian meals inside the temple are great; try the Luohan noodles~ - Nearby, you can also visit the Maple Bridge scenic area If you come to Suzhou in autumn, you’ll regret not visiting Hanshan Temple! Quickly gather your friends to experience the poetic autumn scenery of "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City"~
