Beijing's cherry blossom viewing is not complete without a visit to Xinghe Bay Park, which is truly photogenic

❤️ The cherry blossoms in the capital have finally bloomed in full. Although there are not as many as cities like Hangzhou, at least there is a place to take photos. Besides Yuyuantan, I finally checked in at Xinghe Bay Ecological Park. This note is divided into sunny and cloudy days for shooting, and the effect is for reference only. 🉑 This park was originally just an ecological green belt within a residential area, but it gradually became popular because it contains some early cherry trees. Although not many, the scenery is considered unique in Beijing. The cherry trees are very concentrated and in excellent condition, which makes for particularly good photos. ☘ To avoid the crowds, I chose to go here early in the morning to play and take photos, and the visual effect is still very striking. Although the sunlight carries the morning mist, like a 'waking moment', the spring breeze blows and the petals slowly wither, just like the feeling of '5 Centimeters Per Second'. The early cherry blossoms under the sun, white and pink, are full of cinematic feel, and the early cherry blossoms on cloudy days also seem to show a gentle side. Sitting on the lawn next to it, feeling the natural spring of nature, is extremely comfortable. ⏰ When to go? It is estimated that the entire blooming period in 2024 should last until early April after the Qingming holiday, so you must hurry. 🌈 What time to go? The park is not open too early or too late, so it is recommended to rush early, preferably before 7 am, when there are relatively fewer people and it is easier to enjoy the scenery and take portraits. 🚻 Suggested best route: The cherry blossoms are concentrated in the northeast corner of the park. Of course, there are also some near the small gate on the east side, no need to gather specifically. 🧧 Which views are worth seeing? In addition to the eye-catching cherry trees, the park has a good level of greenery for walking. 🏠 Which facilities are worth noting? The park near the residential area has basically no facilities, so you need to prepare in advance. 📷 About how to take photos and choose shooting positions: There are no restrictions on photography, and you can use ultra-wide-angle lenses for landscapes or portraits. But there are really a lot of people, so the angle needs to be specially selected, and it may be relatively easier to take close-ups. 🚗 How to get there? Just navigate directly, and you can park at a nearby hotel if you drive. ☎ How to buy tickets and make reservations? Just go directly. 🔥 TIPS to check out before going: 1. Many people, few flowers, but you can get close. 2. There are watering times, during which it is not good to take photos. 3. The flowers quickly wilt when encountering strong wind and high temperatures, so hurry up. Specific location: No. 6, Siji Xinghe Road, Chaoyang North Road, Chaoyang District Opening hours: 7:00-21:00 Type of play: Greenery appreciation, scenic photography
