Beijing Flower Sea Ceiling National Botanical Garden Fringe Tree Flower Viewing Guide

🌸In the blink of an eye, Beijing's weather has more sunny days and is quickly warming up. Many flowers that were supposed to bloom at the end of the month have bloomed early. Today, I want to recommend this flower sea path, a fringe tree flower sea that is rare in Beijing. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for photography, highly recommended. 🈶The South Garden of the National Botanical Garden is a relatively niche spot for flower viewing, previously the location of 'South Plant'. Although the area is not large, there are many flowers that the North Garden does not have, and even rare in Beijing, especially the flower sea path in the north-south direction, which has suddenly become popular in the last two years and is super photogenic. 🏡Under the warm sun at the end of spring, with high light transmittance under the blue sky, it is very pleasant to stroll along this flower sea path. The trees are arranged on the east side of the path, just like messengers of spring, layered and with a great sense of depth. The atmosphere is nice. These flowers have pure white crowns, shaped like silk, resembling inverted little umbrellas, named after the tassels in ancient ladies' clothing. Upon closer inspection, the white blossoms cover the branches like clouds and snow. This 'April Snow' comes with warmth and has an extraordinary meaning. 🌈About the time: This year the blooming is late, and the flowering period should last more than 10 days. It should still be there during the May 1st holiday. A simple walk around the flower sea and an hour of photography should suffice. ⏰About the moment: It is recommended to rush as soon as the doors open. It is not recommended to take photos around noon when the light is strong. In the evening, there are also too many visitors. In short, if you don't go early, you need to wait for a spot. 🚻Suggested best route: There are quite a few fringe trees in the South Garden, but the concentrated area is really on this road. After entering from the west gate, turn left at the first turn and you can see it. Locate National Botanical Garden South Area - XX Life Former Site to the north. ❤️Which sceneries are worth seeing? In addition to the fringe trees, there are too many other flowers at the end of April, such as wisteria, etc. Just take your time. 🏠Which facilities are worth noting? There are basically no tourist facilities around this path, so prepare everything in advance. 📷How to take beautiful portrait photos: The flowers are dense, but the height on the north side is too high, making it difficult to take portraits. It is recommended to use a 24-70mm lens, just find the right distance and angle with the flowers. You need to wait for a spot for large scenes. 🚗How to get there? It is still more convenient to take the bus or the Xijiao Line light rail. It's a long walk from the parking lot. ☎How to buy tickets and make a reservation? The tickets are not expensive, buy a joint ticket for both the South and North Gardens to enjoy together. 🔥Must-see TIPS before checking in: 1. The fringe tree blooming period is short, so hurry up. 2. No need to go specially, include it in the botanical garden itinerary. 3. Choose the right weather, poor lighting affects photography. 4. The annual park pass cannot be used.
