with the rising temperatures, hangzhou's flower center is shifting northward to the blooming azaleas at linping park.
despite the cloudy weather in the past few days, many people still come to capture photos and enjoy the scenery.
perhaps due to the lack of sunlight, linping park takes on a different charm on overcast days. the forest serves as a backdrop, accentuating the colorful azalea flowers.
the park's azalea garden covers an area of 50,000 square meters, featuring over 300 varieties including rhododendrons, mountain azaleas, and more. the flowering season will continue until the end of april.
