Quiet Corners of Xiyuan Temple, Suzhou

#chinatravel

Located in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Xiyuan Temple is a peaceful retreat for photographers seeking classical charm. Nestled among courtyards, pavilions, and lush greenery, the temple blends traditional architecture with serene garden elements. I love capturing the gentle reflections in its small ponds, the intricate wood carvings on doors and beams, and the way sunlight filters through bamboo and willow branches. Every stone path and arched bridge offers a new composition, while the quiet ambiance invites slow, contemplative shots. Xiyuan Temple isn’t just a place of worship—it’s a living canvas of Suzhou’s timeless elegance and tranquility.
