The Hangzhou Botanical Garden has recently become a hotspot for visitors, with its lycoris flowers, known as the Chinese tulip, having entered their peak blooming season. The garden is now a vibrant sea of red, yellow, and pink, attracting many visitors eager to capture the breathtaking scene.

Lycoris, also known as spider lily or equinox lily, is a perennial plant that blooms between summer and autumn. The flowers are unique for their striking appearance and the fact that they bloom without leaves, which has earned them the poetic name "flowers from the other shore".

According to Zhang Pengchong, a senior engineer at the garden, this year's bloom is particularly spectacular due to the overlap of early, mid, and late-blooming varieties, resulting in one of the best displays in recent years.

Visitors looking to admire the lycoris blooms can enter through the garden's south gate and follow the main path. The flowers can be seen in several areas, including the Economic Plant Zone, Plant Classification Zone, and the Baicao Garden, as well as along the roadsides near the south and north gates.
