Lagerstroemia indica in the Summer Palace

Tell me about this trip.

Thanks to Mr. Lao She's golden sentence, the beauty of autumn in Beiping is well known, but I don't know that those warm spring days in the imperial city are as beautiful as paradise on earth, even more prosperous than paradise.

Spring has come in Beijing, and a huge city is getting warmer. From the fragrance of goose yellow wintersweet, I chase the footsteps of spring and look for the footprints of spring all the way. From shallow to deep, the heart becomes light and leisurely, like a pool of spring water, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, spring flowers and green hills.

Spring is the time when the cool breeze blows gently, and it is the most suitable time to go out for a walk. No matter under the roots of the imperial city, or the ancient temples in the suburbs of Beijing, or even the nameless green land on the roadside, in the bright spring, among the flowers hidden by peach trees, and in the fresh fragrance, listening to the immature children's voices of young girls, learn to read one Tang poem about spring. Spring in reality is far more romantic than spring in Tang poetry and Song poetry.

In such a big city as Beijing, where is the best place to enjoy flowers and walk the baby?

peach blossom

In the world of April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temples have just bloomed. I want to find a place where my life is dying, but I don't know that it has been moved here. -"Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple" Bai Juyi

Flowering period: early March-late May

Peach blossoms are in full bloom, colorful and fiery red. Spring is the season when peach blossoms bloom. From that touch of pale pink, the door of spring was knocked down, until wheatgrass almost fell, there were still peach blossoms in full bloom. Not because the flowering period of peach blossoms is long, but because there are many varieties, the flowering period will always be staggered.

I prefer plain peach blossom to delicate peach blossom. Small pink flower is more playful than pear flower, but not as gentle as pear flower. Because the peach blossoms in spring always bloom very early and awaken the silence of the whole winter, it is almost essential to enjoy spring every year.

The peach blossom viewing places in the Imperial Capital include: the former site of Duan Administrative Office, Liujiadian Town in Pinggu, the Ming Tombs Scenic Area in Changping, and a section of Chi Chang Road in Yanqing.

Orson park

Olympic Forest Park is the largest city park in Asia. Open to the public free of charge after the Olympic Games. About the same as Central Park in new york and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It is the huge green lung of a city. With the five rings as the boundary, Orson is divided into two gardens, the South Garden is dominated by large-scale natural landscapes, and the North Garden is dominated by small streams and natural wild forests. Jogging in the park, walking by bike, or taking a cruise, the blue waves are rippling, all very comfortable.

In the spring flowering period of more than two months, more than 30 varieties and 65,438+10,000 flowers, such as Prunus armeniaca, Prunus armeniaca, Fructus Forsythiae, Mume, Magnolia grandiflora, Cherry Blossom, Begonia, Peach, Lilac, Rosa davurica and Spiraea, can be seen in batches in the garden, forming a sea of flowers. Wild flowers of various colors, such as February orchids, dandelions and irises, are also scattered under the forest, adding bright colors to the whole park.

Because the distance is close and parking is convenient, I will take my little daughter to Orson for a walk, smell the flowers, enjoy all the love and feel the vitality of nature when I am free on weekends. From pushing a stroller, dragging a suitcase, and riding a scooter, Orson Park blooms year after year, bearing the fancy memory of my little girl growing up slowly.

The flower sea in Orson Park is mainly concentrated in three areas: Nanyuan Aohai Scenic Area, Beiyuan North Gate Area and Beiyuan South Gate Area. The longest flower viewing route-along Nanyuan Aohai Scenic Area, surrounded by mountains and waters, with peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, begonia and cherry blossoms as the main ones, with a total length of 3 kilometers, which can be called "the longest flower viewing route"; Beiyuan North Gate area is dominated by all kinds of begonia and elm leaves. The lawn among the trees is an excellent place to play, have a picnic and set up a tent, which can be described as "the most leisure flower viewing area". There are many kinds of plants in the south gate of Beiyuan, including peaches, begonia, forsythia, cloves, yellow thorn roses and so on. The environment is quiet, unique and open, and there are flowers in the forest, which makes people linger. It is the "quietest flower viewing area".

Beihai Park

Beihai Park, adjacent to the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park, is the oldest, largest and most well-preserved ancient palace in China, with a history of nearly a thousand years. According to legend, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty came to Beijing from the vast grassland and saw this lake, which is very rare and called "the sea". According to its orientation, it is divided into North Sea, China Sea and South China Sea.

Although it is a royal garden, Beihai doesn't have much royal temperament. On the contrary, it is "Yilan hall and waves set each other off, Haopu corridor twists and turns", which is quite gentle and beautiful in some Jiangnan gardens, and the Tibetan white pagoda on Qionghua Island is the symbol of the whole Beihai Park. Yes, the familiar song "Row, the boat pushes the waves away, the beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls …" is what I said here.

The layout of Beihai Park is centered on Qiongdao, and the temples in the south are arranged according to the mountain situation, reaching the archway at the foot of the mountain, which is magnificent; From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain in the north, pavilions and pavilions are hidden among secluded rocks, sometimes hidden and sometimes present; The semi-circular veranda built around the mountain with water, connected to the Yanglou in the east and the pavilion in the west, is ingenious and interesting.

Going to Beihai to enjoy flowers on weekends, the bad traffic near the Forbidden City and the tiny parking lot in Beihai Park are really disappointing. If you can, choose public transportation! It is recommended to enter from the south or east gate. Don't be stumped by the beautiful lake scenery in front of you. Go straight to Qionghua Island! Peach blossom is next to the white pagoda on Qionghua Island. You have to climb a short mountain road to see them. Fortunately, with birds singing and flowers lingering, I don't feel tired. Peach blossoms are in full bloom beside the White Pagoda. After a gust of wind, the petals fall like rain. This is the so-called "spring scenery", which is extremely beautiful.

Beihai Park ticket season 10 yuan, off-season 5 yuan 10 yuan, joint ticket 15 yuan. It is recommended to buy coupons directly at the entrance. Most of the good shooting angles are in the "pay zone", especially for the height of my little girl. Seeing flowers is hard work, which just allows her to sit on the wall and watch them up close.

After visiting Beihai, you can also leave the park from the East Gate, walk along the red wall of Jingshan Park, and go to Shenwumen of the Forbidden City, where you can get a card. Yangxin coffee, 3,000 Jiali milk tea and Kangxi's favorite chocolate are all waiting for you to turn over the brand ~

yulan magnolia

Every dress in the evening makeup is new and slim. I have fainted to Danxia, so I made the dew fragrant. -"Magnolia" Mu Shi

Flowering period: late March-early April

Every spring, magnolia will arrive as scheduled. No matter whether the weather is warm or cold, it never seems to be late.

My favorite among spring flowers is magnolia. Petals are like white jade, and pieces are as bright as moonlight. All white, wrapped in a bell. They are not as beautiful as spring, nor as enchanting as peaches and plums. But stubbornly grow up, alone in the sparse branches, blooming peacefully towards the blue sky. Simple, lonely, fragrant, as if everything in the secular fireworks were undisturbed, beautiful and clean and quiet.

Beijing seems to be a city that likes magnolia. Even in residential areas or next to office buildings, there are always several magnolia trees. There is a factory next to the building where I used to work. Every year, when everything is bleak, it always struggles to reveal the first fragrance, so it is a bit lucky to watch it bloom slowly day after day.

The scenic spots of Imperial Capital Magnolia are: Summer Palace and International Sculpture Park.

Houshayu park

This is a secret forest park, located in Shunyi District, between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, with forests and water, green grass, fresh air and elegant environment, just like a natural oxygen bar!

Navigate to the "Garden View Hotel" and cross a street from the hotel parking lot after entering. Curved arch bridge reflects water, magnolia blossoms in the spring reflect a pool, fallen flowers in Man Chun, and sparse willows reflect a new pond. The lawn next to it is a scene of joy and peace. Running boys try to fly kites, foreign handsome boys in twos and threes show their exquisite skills, and happy families sit together. This is the most pleasant appearance in spring.

The villa area of the hotel is also open to the public, and the scenery here is cleaner than the park. The scattered single-family villas in the park, accompanied by the murmur of flowers in the courtyard, make people feel like they are in the countryside. Several magnolia trees are blooming brightly against the backdrop of exotic villas, and their white petals fall to the ground, which is as beautiful as a dream.

By the way, the pear blossoms here are also very good ~ but the flowering period will be one or two weeks later than that of Magnolia ~

Xishan university Tang

Xueyuan is a thousand-year-old temple, built on the mountain. Different from other temples in Beijing, most of them face south, but they retain the custom of respecting the sun and offering sacrifices to the sun in Liao Dynasty, and sit west facing east. Temple architecture is magnificent and simple, and its layout is rigorous and regular. In addition to conventional buildings, there are palaces of the Qing emperors, both Buddhist and royal.

The Academy has always been famous for its clear springs, ancient trees, magnolia and elegant environment. Every year when the spring blossoms, the magnolia in the temple will bloom beautifully. One of them was moved from Sichuan by Jialing, a Buddhist monk, during the Qianlong period. It has a history of more than 300 years. It is said that Yongzheng, Qianlong, Cixi, Hu Shi, Ji Xianlin and Bing Xin of the Qing Dynasty all came here to admire this ancient magnolia tree.

Every April, the Academy holds the Magnolia Culture Festival. Seeing the magnolia trees in full bloom in Beijing, I can't help but visit the Western Hills. The result is far from the ancient temple magnolia I imagined. Only the Magnolia in the corner of the Academy timidly reveals its fragrance, while the two 300-year-old ancient Magnolia in Siyitang have not yet blossomed. There are few other spring flowers in the temple, which is inevitably disappointing. It seems that the temperature in the suburbs of Beijing is low and the flowering period is generally one week later than that in the urban area. This is an experience.

There are many steps up and down in the academy, which is not suitable for taking too young babies to play. It's definitely a painful memory to push the stroller while holding the baby, but it's also a harvest to let my girl breathe the fresh air ~

sakura

Cherry blossoms are red and unfamiliar, and the pool is green; In the sound of swallows, acacia is another year. -"Spring Encounter" Zhou Enlai

Flowering: mid-March-mid-April

Every spring, there are always friends around me who want to travel across the ocean to see cherry blossoms in Japan. As we all know, the origin of cherry blossoms is actually in the Himalayan region of China.

As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, cherry blossom viewing became a common practice. Bai Juyi's phrase "Planting new cherry trees in a small garden and wandering around the flowers" is enough to reflect the leisure of literati enjoying cherry blossoms in spring. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Senda even wrote a poem, "The first cherry blossoms are bright, the algae are good at burning, the leaves are not open, and the safflower has been released." Describe the beauty of cherry blossoms to life. Only China people have always preferred peony and plum blossom, so cherry blossoms have not been widely planted and spread in China.

However, after cherry blossoms were introduced into Japan, they were highly respected. The uniqueness of cherry blossoms is that they often bloom before the leaves germinate and bloom hard on the bare branches. Such tenacious vitality is considered to be in line with the indomitable national spirit of Yamato. The uniqueness of cherry blossoms lies in their short flowering period. It takes about 7 days for a cherry blossom to bloom and wither, which is different from other flowers that wither first and then wither. Instead, it falls when it is in full bloom, and it is as beautiful as powder snow, which is very consistent with the aesthetic of "mourning for things" in Japanese bones. The Japanese have always been fascinated by fireworks and cherry blossoms, which "wither at the brightest time".

When it comes to cherry blossom viewing, it's not just about flowers, but more importantly, the atmosphere. I have to admit that the cherry blossom season in China is not as good as that in Japan. No matter the types of cherry blossoms, or the atmosphere of enjoying cherry blossoms by the whole people, there are still several good places to enjoy cherry blossoms.

The cherry blossom viewing places in the Imperial Capital are: Beijing Botanical Garden, Beijing Zoo and Nanhaizi Country Park.

Yuyuantan

You don't need to travel far to enjoy cherry blossoms in Beijing. yuyuantan park within the Third Ring Road is the best place to enjoy cherry blossoms.

Yuyuantan park seems to exist only for cherry blossoms. On weekdays, it is just an ordinary place for the surrounding citizens to relax and wander around. When spring blossoms, willow green cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the vibrant Yuyuantan has become a popular cherry blossom viewing destination. More than 2000 cherry trees of more than 20 varieties imported from Japan are planted in the park, with different varieties and early and late flowering. After opening, you can see cherry blossoms in full bloom for more than a month.

The vast and fresh lake is full of blue waves, the rolling hills and trees are lush, and the winding garden road and the winding lakeshore are lined with cherry blossoms like clouds. A gust of wind has passed, and a little pink dances lightly like snowflakes, which is also a rare beauty. Even compared with the cherry blossoms in the neon country, Yuyuantan is not inferior, but I always feel that something is wrong.

Begonia

In February, the wind in Baling was strong, and the spring cold was not over. Haitang blushed without hesitation and drizzled independently. -"Cold Spring" Chen

Flowering: from early April to mid-April.

The first time I felt the beauty of Haitang began with Li Qingzhao's Dream. "Asked the shutter, but Chinese flowering crabapple is the same. You know what? You know what? It should be green, fat and thin. "

Begonia flowers are curved, with small and dense petals, like a cluster of clouds, surrounded by green leaves beside the flowers, which has a sense of beauty. Because of this, from ancient times to the present, literati have been endowed with the meaning of "leaving relatives and homesickness", and they often use Haitang to express the sadness of men and women leaving, and even when love encounters twists and turns, they often use Haitang flowers as a metaphor. Li Qingzhao's ci has always been biased towards Haitang, which is probably related to the acacia that she can't solve ~

Begonia flower has three realms: when the bud is like rouge, the purplish bud blooms upwards, making it full of vitality; When it is in full bloom, it is passionate and unrestrained, like a proud peacock, and it blooms at dawn without hesitation; When the flowers fall, it is like rain, and all the places turn pink, just like the touching tears, the tears of acacia.

Yuan dynasty ruins

Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park is a free city park built on the site of Yuan Dadu Tucheng. The whole park is long and narrow, spreading along Xiaoyue River, with a total length of 9 kilometers, spanning Chaoyang and Haidian. It is divided into ten scenic spots: nostalgic ancient city walls, thrips pumping trees, majestic fighters, thistles flying, silvery waves facing the moon, crape myrtle painting, mostly seeing temples, new ideas in Shuiguan, saddle rein flourishing age, and Yanyun countryside.

It's the first time to enjoy Haitang, and I didn't do my homework well. I don't know that the Yuandadu Park is long and narrow, and I walked along the moat for a long time. Fortunately, there are both history and natural scenery along the way, and I am not bored. It is suggested to navigate "Haitang Huaxi" directly to avoid going the wrong way.

Just like the cherry blossoms in yuyuantan park, Haitang Huaxi is also a business card of the Yuan Metropolitan Wall Ruins Park. Just in time for a bunch of begonia to bloom, which is the most beautiful time and space in the world. In the quiet morning, spring is just blowing, sitting on a bench by the river, or strolling in the aisle set up by Haitang. The fluttering petals stick to the hair and slide down the shoulder blades. Looking up, I saw a flower tree with a height of more than one person full of flowers, like a gorgeous satin flowing on both sides of the river. Butterflies and bees are happily shuttling among the flowers. On such a spring day, I have to relax for a while and immerse myself in the end of spring.

In fact, in addition to Haitang Huaxi, other scenic spots in the Yuan Dynasty are not to be missed. In the park located in Haidian section, there are city walls, thistle trees and iron fighters, which have become the beautiful scenery that people compete to see in spring. The new image of the distant city, the heyday of most cities, and the Long Ze Fish Leap in the park in Chaoyang District are also the attractions that everyone likes to see.

February Lan

This is a kind of peaceful flower, and I don't want a haze from Wen Da. Collecting firewood is still afraid of passing by the path, but also write mountain cover. -"Lan" Zheng Xie

Flowering period: late March-early May

I thought it was just a humble little wild flower, but I didn't know that wild flowers also had such a poetic name, February orchid.

When April comes, forests, hills, hillsides and lakes, wherever there are gaps, are covered by the lavender spread of February orchids. This wild purple flower grows tenaciously, expands its territory, and finally becomes a dreamy flower sea scene, which is very nice to take pictures. Compared with the strong purple of imported lavender, it is more gentle and pleasant, so it is endowed with the flower language of "modesty, simplicity and selfless dedication".

In the country parks around the airport expressway and the Fifth Ring Road, a large number of February orchids are planted as lichens. Few tourists look for February orchid to take photos, but they avoid the dilemma of everyone in the photo. I hope everyone can take good pictures of February orchid!

The scenic spots of February Orchid in the Imperial Capital include Dongfeng Park, Baye Park in the eastern suburb and Grand Canal Forest Park.

Yu Zi Mountain Villa

Yu Zi Villa is a low-key private back garden. It is rumored that there are many big-name stars living in this community next to the North Fifth Ring Road, but the high walls and deep courtyards are far away from the noise. It's not completely impossible to get in. Just book the location of Yinshulou and Peacock Garden Restaurant, or book accommodation at Hezhi Resort Hotel, and you can enter through the entrance guard.

Once we drove in, we found there were caves, green grass, clear lake water, weeping willows, rare birds swimming on the lake, dozens of birds such as ducks, mandarin ducks, seagulls and swans, and a group of plump pigeons and free-range sika deer strolling on the lawn.

There is a 1000-meter-long sleeper plank road that goes around the forest. The banks are full of spring, with green leaves and flowers. All the way through artificial wetlands, stone tunnels and artificial waterfalls, the scenery is changeable and colorful. Take a leisurely walk on the plank road. On the detour I walked through, I passed through a sheltered valley, where there were mountains and winds, flowers and birds singing, as if you were in a deep mountain valley. Through a quiet forest, the ground is covered with purple February orchids, and my little girl is playing happily in it, just like looking for grandma Wolf's little red riding hood.

The small ones are hidden in the forest, and the big ones are hidden in the city. In this busy city, it is also valuable to have such a quiet and peaceful natural scenery, and you can enjoy carefree music to your heart's content!

Tips for parent-child flower viewing

Pay attention to the weather: March and April are the time when it is "warm and cold". The weather is changeable, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It's best to know the weather in advance. Wear light and warm clothes when traveling, and take a warm coat, umbrella or raincoat with you. Don't catch a cold just by hollowing out the baby. Good health is far more important than a few beautiful photos!

Love flowers and plants: Although flowers and plants are beautiful, don't climb them at will! The baby is naturally curious and wants to feel it by touching flowers. This is an encouraging behavior and can be properly guided. I always tell my little girl that if the flowers leave the tree, my mother will be sad, just as you will be sad if you leave your mother. I only allowed her to pick up the petals and flowers that fell to the ground. My little girl always has to pick up a handful, so every time my hat is donated, I suggest that all treasure mothers prepare small bags or buckets for their children so that they can enjoy it.

Food hygiene: bacteria are easy to breed in spring. Pay attention to hygiene when traveling, try to avoid drinking raw water and eating unsanitary food, and don't sit on the floor to avoid getting wet and getting sick. If you go to a place suitable for a picnic, you may wish to prepare a picnic mat or tent in advance. It is suggested to prepare some commonly used drugs, such as berberine and other antidiarrheal and anti-inflammatory drugs, and also bring some essential drugs, such as Radix Isatidis and quick-acting cold capsules. For my allergic constitution, eating seafood, touching pollen, improper use of cosmetics, etc. It can cause itchy skin, runny nose and sneezing. Taking Sismin orally disintegrating tablets does not need water, and the tablets will disintegrate after 5 seconds of oral administration, which helps to relieve symptoms and is convenient and quick, especially suitable for traveling.
