[Traveling through 600 years of autumn romance | The most complete guide to Beihai Park丨

✨ Why must you come to Beihai Park in autumn? While the Forbidden City is crowded with tourists, Beihai hides the most gentle autumn of old Beijing. Gold-foil ginkgo leaves fall on the dragon scales of the Nine Dragon Wall, the white pagoda on Qionghua Island is faintly visible among the persimmon red and pine and cypress green, and while rowing a small boat through the 700-year-old royal waterway, it seems as if I am admiring the same autumn moon as Emperor Qianlong. This place is not only the childhood memory of "Let's Row the Boat Together", but also a poetic habitat that is hard to find in the city center. 🍁 3 must-see highlights 1️⃣ [Climb to the top of Qionghua Island and overlook the autumn scenery of Beijing] ▫️ How to play: Climb along the Baita Mountain trail of Yong'an Temple and reach the top in 10 minutes. Enjoy a 360-degree view of the corner tower of the Forbidden City, Wanchun Pavilion of Jingshan Mountain and the blue waters of Beihai. The magical feeling of the red walls and golden leaves and skyscrapers in the same frame, take pictures with your mobile phone and turn them into wallpapers! ▫️ Hidden perspective: In the "Lan Cui Xuan" courtyard on the west side of the White Pagoda, the ancient catalpa trees and blue brick walls form a maze of light and shadow, a must-take photo for those who wear Hanfu. 2️⃣ [Afternoon tea on a rowing boat·Private enjoyment of the royal water system] ▫️ Experience of ritual sense: Rent an antique rowing boat (¥180/hour) and depart from Wulongting Pier. The boat girl hums a tune as she passes through the lotus stems, and the food box is filled with pea yellow + kidney bean rolls from Fangshan. It seems as if you have traveled back to the old days of "Cixi's Lake Tour". ▫️ Private route: Sail against the light at 3-4 pm, the lake surface is glittering with golden fragments, and use a telephoto lens to capture the China Zun and the White Pagoda in the distance. 3️⃣ [Western Paradise·Ginkgo Rainfall and Strong Zen] ▫️ Secret Guide: 99% of tourists go straight to the White Pagoda, but miss the Ming Dynasty Royal Zen Forest on the north bank. The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in front of the Daci Zhenru Hall sprinkles "golden rain" in early November, and paired with glazed gargoyles and bronze chakravartin, the Buddhist atmosphere is fully enhanced. ▫️ Niche gameplay: Enjoy the empty mirror alone when the door opens at 7 am, and bring a small cloth bag to pick up ginkgo leaves as bookmarks (with the tacit approval of the temple master). 🚶‍♀️ Citywalk route hidden by locals ▪️ Lazy Essentials (2 hours): Enter from the South Gate → Take photos of the reflection of the White Pagoda at Yong'an Bridge → Climb to the top of Qionghua Island → Drink tea in Yilan Hall → Row a boat at Wulong Pavilion → Appreciate the ginkgo in Xitian Fanjing → Exit from the North Gate ▪️ In-depth Tour (all day): Feed koi at Jingxinzhai at 7 am → See the chrysanthemum exhibition at Chanfu Temple at 9 am → Eat palace steamed bread at Fangshan Restaurant at noon → See bonsai art at Huafangzhai in the afternoon → Appreciate calligraphy and inscriptions at Kuaixuetang in the evening   🍂 Autumn Limited Easter Egg: Unlock hidden gameplay ✅ [Beihai Limited Stamp Collection] ▫️ Collect 12 stamps including "White Pagoda Four Seasons" and "Nine Dragon Wall" at 5 stamping points in the park (Shuanghongxie Cultural and Creative, Beihai Cultural and Creative Hall, etc.) to unlock the limited edition notebook (¥38). ✅ 【Tingli Pavilion·The same meat pie as Empress Dowager Cixi】 ▫️ A century-old shop hidden deep in Qiongdao Island.
