Peach Blossom
The peach blossom is in full bloom in April among the people, and the peach blossom is beginning to bloom in the mountain temples. The first thing you need to do is to get the best out of it. Spring is the season of the peach blossom, from the light pink color knocked open the door of spring, until the fragrance of the nearly finished, there are still peach blossom is still blooming one after another. It is not because of the long flowering period of the peach blossom, but in its variety of varieties, always also will be staggered flowering period.
Compared to the peach blossom delicate, I prefer the peach blossom of the plain, that light pink little one, more playful than the pear, but not like the pear that kind of gentle. And because the peach is always in the spring light early bloom, wake up the whole winter silence, so every year to enjoy the spring is almost inevitable mountain peach.
Peach blossom viewing places in the imperial capital are: the former site of Duan Qirui's government, Liu Jiadian Township in Pinggu, and a section of Chang Chilu Road from the Thirteen Tombs scenic spot in Changping to Yanqing

Golden Gate Park, all of which are giant green lungs of a city. Bounded by the Fifth Ring, the Olympic Forest is divided into two parks: the South Park is dominated by large-scale natural landscapes, while the North Park is dominated by small streams and rivers and natural wildlife forests.

Beihai Park
Close to the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, is China's existing history of the longest, grandest and best-preserved an ancient imperial palace, nearly a thousand years ago. According to legend, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty came to Beijing from the vast grasslands, see the lake is very rare, called the "sea", and according to its orientation, divided into the North Sea, the Middle Sea and the South China Sea.
Although it is a royal garden, the North Sea has not been too heavy royal temperament, but rather "Ripple Hall wave phase light reflection, Hao Pu between the corridor zigzagging", some of the Jiangnan gardens of the gentle and beautiful, and Qionghua Island, the Tibetan White Pagoda is the entire Beihai Park logo. Yes, the popular "let us swing the oars, the boat pushed away from the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls ......", said here.

The weekend to go to the North Sea to enjoy the flowers, the Forbidden City near the bad traffic and the capacity of the North Sea Park parking lot is very small, really let a person lost; if you can, or choose the public **** traffic travel it! It is recommended to enter from the South Gate or East Gate, do not be tripped by the beauty of the lake in front of the feet, straight to Qionghua Island! Peach blossom on Qionghua Island, next to the White Pagoda, you have to climb a small section of the mountain to see, but the good thing is that there is the sound of birds accompanied by the aroma of flowers, and do not feel tired. Peach blossom next to the White Pagoda is in full bloom, a wind, petals falling like rain, the so-called beauty to the ultimate "spring color", is probably so
Beihai Park tickets peak season 10 yuan off-season 5 yuan, enter the White Pagoda inside 10 yuan, 15 yuan joint ticket. Suggested directly at the entrance to buy a joint ticket, most of the good shooting angle is in the "paid area", especially with the height of the little girl, enjoy the flowers is a hard thing, just so that she can sit on the roof of the wall to see up close.
After strolling through the Beihai, you can also get out of the park from the East Gate, along the red wall of Jingshan Park, until the Forbidden City under the Gate of Shenwu, go to the recent hottest "Forbidden City Corner Coffee" to make a card.

Yulan
Neizhuang piece of evening makeup new, bunch of Su Pavilion jade hall spring. I've already been to the Danxia to have a shallow halo, so I've made the dew into a fragrant dust.
My favorite spring flower is magnolia, a petal like alabaster-like color, a piece of flow with the moonlight like bright, snow white, embracing into the bell, not as brilliant as the spring, not like the peach and plum as enchanting, but stubbornly upward growth, Ling Ling fell in the sparsely sparsely above the branches and trunks of the blue sky to the daylight to the peace and tranquility of the bloom. Simple and simple, lonely and fragrant, as if the world of smoke and fire in all the unperturbed, the beauty of the dust and skillful.
Beijing seems to be a city that likes magnolias, even in neighborhoods or next to office buildings, there are always a few trees planted with magnolias. Previously, where I worked, there was a plant planted next to the building, and every year, when everything was still in the depression, it was always scrambling to spit out the first touch of fragrance, so I watched it slowly bloom day after day, and it was a little bit of small fortune in the daily boring work.
The imperial city of magnolia ornamental places: Summer Palace, International Sculpture Park.
Recommended places to enjoy flowers:
Houshayu Park
This is a hidden forest park, located in Shunyi District, between the five or six rings, forests and water, green grass, fresh air, elegant environment, just like a natural oxygen bar!
Navigation "and the Garden King Yi Hotel", after entering the hotel parking lot across a road can be reached, the curved arch bridge reflected in the water, magnolia and spring reflected in a pool of fallen flowers full of spring, sparse willow reflecting the new pond. Next to the lawn is a happy and peaceful scene, running boys trying to fly kites, three or two foreign boys show exquisite ball skills, and happy families sitting together, this is the most pleasant appearance of spring.
The hotel's villa area is also open to the public, the scenery here is not inferior to the park, but more clean. A single villa with different styles is scattered in the park, accompanied by a small brook in the courtyard, the fragrance of flowers swaying, so that people seem to be in the countryside between the countryside. A few white magnolia in the exotic flavor of the villas under the background, blooming particularly brilliant, white petals fell to the ground, the beauty of a dream like fantasy.
By the way, the pear blossom here is also very good yo ~ but the flowering period will be slightly later than the magnolia for a week or two ~
Xishan Dajue Temple
Dajue Temple is a thousand years of ancient temples, built on the mountain, not like the capital of the other temples in the majority of the north-south, but to maintain the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan tribe of the east of the respect for the sun, the worship of the sun's custom of sitting in the west to the east. Temple buildings majestic and simple, the layout is rigorous and regular, in addition to the regular building, there is the Qing Dynasty Emperor's Palace, that is, there is a Buddhist solemnity, but also no lack of royal grandeur.
Dajue Temple has always been known for its clear springs, ancient trees, magnolias and elegant environment. Every year when the spring flowers bloom, the magnolias in the temple bloom extremely beautiful, one of which was moved from Sichuan by Zen Master Jialing, a monk during the Qianlong period, and has been more than 300 years old. It is said that Yongzheng, Qianlong and Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, and Hu Shih, Ji Xianlin, and Bingxin of the modern times have all come to see this ancient magnolia tree here.
Every year in April, Dajue Temple will hold a magnolia culture festival, see the capital of the magnolia are open, will not be able to hold back to go to the West Mountain. The result is far from my imagination of the ancient temple magnolia, the whole Dajue Temple only the door corner of the magnolia timidly spit out the fragrance, and the four Yitang that two three hundred years old ancient magnolia is still reserved yet to bloom. Temple and few other spring flowers, inevitably a little disappointed. It seems that the suburb of Beijing, the temperature is low, the flowering period is generally later than the city a week, but also got a experience.
Dajue Temple up and down the steps quite a lot, not suitable for bringing too small baby over to play, while carrying a stroller while holding a baby, absolutely unbearable painful memories, but can let the little girl to breathe the rare good air, it is also a kind of harvest ~
Cherry blossoms
cherry blossoms on the strata of the red, the willows and green pools; swallows in the sound, the year of lovesickness. -- "Spring Day" - Zhou Enlai
Flowering period: mid-March - mid-April
Every spring, there are always friends to cross the ocean to Japan to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Unbeknownst to them, the origin of the cherry blossom is actually in the Himalayan region of China.
Cherry blossom viewing in the Tang and Song dynasties had become a trend, Bai Juyi's sentence "small garden newly planted red cherry trees, idle around the branches of the flowers will be when the tour" is enough to reflect the literati to enjoy the spring cherry blossom viewing leisure, the Southern Song Dynasty's Wang Shengda is a "cherry blossom move when the colorful, trespassing on the algae burns brightly fragrant, light yellow leaves have not opened the frost, the red has glowed. The yellow leaves have not yet opened, and the red flowers are already glowing." The beauty of the cherry blossom is described perfectly. Only the people have always favored peony and plum blossom, so the cherry blossom in China has not been planted and spread on a large scale.
But the cherry blossom after the introduction of Japan, but was respected to the extreme. The uniqueness of cherry blossom is that it often opens before the leaves sprout, and blossoms hard on the bare branches, so tenacious vitality, which is considered to be in line with the national spirit of Yamato people's perseverance; the uniqueness of cherry blossom is that its blooming period is very short, a cherry blossom from opening to withering in about 7 days, and different from other flowers that wilt first and then wither, but in full bloom when it falls, and fall extremely beautiful, like powder snow, which is very suitable for Japanese people. When it falls, it is as beautiful as powdered snow, which is very much in line with the aesthetics of the Japanese people's "sorrow for things". Japanese people have always been obsessed with this kind of "in the most colorful when withered" things, such as fireworks, such as cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossom viewing is more than flowers, more important is the atmosphere. Have to admit, the domestic cherry blossom season than Japan, whether it is the type of cherry blossoms, or the kind of national cherry blossom viewing atmosphere, but there are still a few good cherry blossom viewing place.
The imperial city's cherry blossom viewing places are: Beijing Botanical Garden, Beijing Zoo, Nanhaizi Country Park
Recommended cherry blossom viewing places:
Yuyuantan
Beijing cherry blossom viewing, do not need to travel far, within the third ring of the Yuyuantan Park is the best cherry blossom viewing place.
Yuyuantan Park seems to exist only for the cherry blossoms, on weekdays, it is just an ordinary place for people around the city to relax and stroll, but when the spring blossoms, the willows spit out the new green, cherry blossoms bloom in a variety of aroma, and the full of life of Yuyuantan has become the cherry blossom viewing destination for the whole country. The garden planted more than 20 varieties of more than 2,000 cherry trees introduced from Japan, different varieties, the flowering period has early and late, alternately open, there is more than a month can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The vast fresh lake with turquoise waves, rolling hills with lush forests, and along the winding garden road and curved back to the lakeshore is that full of cherry blossoms like clouds. When the wind passes by, the light powder lightly dances like snow flakes, which is also a rare beauty. Even if compared with the neon country's cherry blossoms, Yuyuantan is not inferior, but always feel where it is not right.
Begonia
February Baling day wind, the spring cold is not afraid of the garden public. Begonia does not spare rouge color, independent of the drizzle. - "Spring Cold" - Chen Heyi
Flowering period: early April - mid-April
The earliest feeling of the beauty of begonias is from Li Qingzhao's "RuMengLing", "Ask the person who rolls up the curtains, but said that begonias are still the same. I'm not sure if I'm aware of that. It should be green, fat and thin."
Begonia flowers are curved, petals are small and dense, a group of a cloud like brocade, in the flowers next to the green leaves are also clustered, own a kind of chaotic branch vertical and horizontal beauty. Because of this, since ancient times, the literati and writers have put forward the meaning of "bitter love, sadness of separation, homesickness", and often use begonias to express the sadness of men and women's parting, and even in the love of encountering ups and downs, they also often use begonias as a metaphor for themselves. Li Qingzhao's words have always favored begonias, probably also with the sadness of the love that she can not be solved~
Begonia has a threefold realm: when the buds are ready to bloom, such as rouge dots, red buds upward, there is some full of vitality; the fury of the bloom time, open with enthusiasm, such as the peacock open screen, but also as the dawn of the bright sunshine, and does not hesitate to strive to blossom; the time when the flowers are falling, such as the flowers of the rain, and then the ground is scattered powdery. The flowers fall, like the rain, turn and fall a ground pink, just like that tender, lovesick blood tears of the departed.
Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park
Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park is built on the site of the Yuan Dadu Tucheng, a free city park, the entire park is a long, narrow band, along the Xiaoyue River along the coast spread, 9 kilometers long, across the Chaoyang, Haidian two districts, is divided into the city wall wistful ancient, the jiimen smoke tree, the iron horsemen, the jiqigusa Fenfei, silver waves to the moon, the ziwei into the painting, metropolis canon, the water gate New ideas, the saddle reins of the world, Yan Yun pastoral ten scenic spots.
The first time I went to enjoy the begonias, homework was not done, I do not know the long and narrow Yuan Dadu Park, along the moat walked for a long time before arriving, but fortunately along the way there are both historical landscapes and natural landscapes, but do not feel bored. I'd like to suggest that you navigate directly to "Begonia Stream" so that you don't have to go through a lot of trouble.
As with the cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan Park, Begonia Stream is also a calling card of the Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park. Just in time for the begonias to bloom in bunches, this is the most beautiful time and space on earth. A clean morning, spring just breeze, sitting on a bench by the river, or stroll along the canopies built up by the begonias, fluttering petals sticking in the hair, slipping in the shoulder blades, tilting his head to see a person more than one high flowering trees densely full of flowers, like a gorgeous satin flow down the flat on the both sides of the river, butterflies and bees joyfully shuttle in the flowers, in such a spring, but got a moment of leisure immersion! In the spring deep like the sea of fragrant waves with the waves, swing open mood stretch open limbs, buried themselves y in the embrace of spring.
In fact, in addition to the Begonia Stream, other scenic spots in the metropolis are not to be missed. Located in the Haidian section of the park, there are the City Wall Huai Gu, the Jiemen Smoke Tree, and the Iron Rider Heroes, which have become the beautiful scenery that people are competing to see in the spring; and located in the Chaoyang section of the park, there are the Yuancheng Xinxiang, the Metropolis Ding Sheng, and the Dragon Zephyr Fish Leap, which are also the scenery that people like to go and see.

I thought it was just a small inconspicuous wildflower, but I didn't know that the wildflower also has such a poetic name, February orchid.
In April, the forests, hills, slopes, and lakes, wherever there is a gap, are covered with the lavender spread of the February orchid. This wild purple flowers, stubbornly growing, open up the territory, finally connected to a dreamy sea of flowers scenery, photo very good. Compared to the imported lavender that strong purple color to be more gentle and lovely, and therefore people have been sent to the "humble and simple, selfless dedication" of the flower language.
The airport highway and the five ring road around the country park are planted a lot of February orchids as lichen, few tourists specifically looking for February orchids to take pictures, but to avoid the dilemma of the photos are full of people, may we be able to take beautiful February orchid photos!
