Although Yufeng temple is small, it is famous for its camellia.

There are three courtyards in the temple, and the famous "ten thousand Camellia" is planted in the north courtyard. According to legend, this tea tree was planted during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty (1465-1487 A.D.). First there were tea trees, and then temples were built.

The scenery is pleasant

Yufeng temple is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. You can charter a car from Lijiang ancient city to Yufeng temple. Yufeng temple is located in the West and faces the East. It is composed of gatehouse, main hall and left and right wing rooms. The layout is symmetrical and harmonious, which is obviously different from the blockhouse style temple buildings in Tibetan areas. The four characters "Cangzhi Yinyu" are hung on the forehead of the main hall, which is inscribed by Kong Jixin, a descendant of Confucius from Qianlong to Lijiang. The temple is surrounded by dense pines and cypresses, gurgling springs and beautiful scenery. From February to April every year is the spring flowering season in Lijiang. When the snow is covered on Yulong Mountain and the red plum is not blooming, the Camellia in Yufeng temple is already a tree with rosy clouds and a smiling face. When the peach and plum are withered and the green fruit is full of branches, it is still in full bloom. From the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer, more than 20 batches have been opened in more than 100 days. One batch is not withered, while another batch is budding. Each batch has more than 1000 flowers, with a total of more than 20000 flowers, each as big as a five to seven inch plate. "Wanduo Camellia", hence the name. Among its companions, flowers are rare. In March, there are more flowers and clouds, which make the whole temple red, so it is also called "zhaodianhong". At this time of year, the residents from far and near, the merchants from other places, call for friends, invite company, carry the box pulp, and go to see the flowers in high spirits. At that time, the tourists are like weaving, which is the same as the festival. Second, the site can be appreciated. Generally, the trunk of ancient mountain tea is high and sparse, which is suitable for viewing from a distance rather than near. Looking at a red tree from a distance, you can see Lingyun from a close view. Although the trunk of Yufeng mountain tea is as thick as a bucket, it is only more than 1 meter high. Its luxuriant branches are not soaring in the sky, but are carefully cultivated by horticulturists, and cleverly formed into a flower shed with three squares, one cover and two feet square. Walking into the courtyard, the flowers brush their sleeves and lead their clothes; the flowers are blooming in front of their eyes, people are beside the flower trees, and the flowers are in the crowd, which makes people dizzy. The third is the juxtaposition of mandarin duck and mandarin duck. If flower admirers are careful, they will find that if a tree is a tree, there are two kinds of flowers: one is "nine pistils and eighteen petals", crisp, tender and gorgeous; the other is "single pistil Camellia", which sprays snow and flames. Some of them are single flowers, some of them are open, and the branches are crisscross, which is amazing. It turns out that these two different varieties of Camellia grow side by side, and become inseparable over time, just like one.
