A 500-year-old Yulan magnolia tree was spotted in full bloom at Faxi Temple in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, attracting flocks of tourists and shutterbugs.

"Faxi Temple has been popular among young people in recent years. I think it's mainly because of the towering ancient tree, the ancient fragrance of the houses, the well-arranged corridor, the surrounding natural environment and architectural characteristics. They like to take photos here," said Lishan, master of the Faxi Temple.
