[Mule Holiday] Spring Cherry Blossom Season

🌻In March, with the scent of spring filling every corner of Beijing, the desire to go out and have fun is stirring again! The annual must-see Yuyuantan Cherry Blossom Season is back! Every year, I go to Yuyuantan to chase the cherry blossoms. 🌸[Peak Cherry Blossom Viewing Period] Early-blooming cherry blossoms are the harbingers of spring, usually starting to show their faces in late February and reaching full bloom in mid-March. Late-blooming cherry blossoms are not to be outdone, taking the stage in late March and remaining beautiful until mid-April. The Qingming Festival holiday is an excellent time for cherry blossom viewing, with various cherry blossoms competing in beauty. However, different varieties have different flowering periods, like a relay race of flowers, so you need to choose the right time to see the most beautiful cherry blossoms. 🚶[Hidden Gem Route] 🔹Enter the park from the north gate of Yuyuantan Park and embark on a dreamy flower journey. Head straight to the Yamazakura area to experience the strong spring atmosphere; stroll through the depths of Yunxi, as if you have wandered into a paradise; 🔹At Yushu Linfeng, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while posing for beautiful photos; Yulai Yunhao and the picturesque cultural square are full of scenery. 🔹Then go to the cherry blossom area and immerse yourself in the sea of flowers; the area by the water is absolutely stunning, with the lake reflecting the cherry blossoms and tender green willows on both sides, so beautiful that words fail to describe it. Take a wide-angle shot, and you'll have a blockbuster. Yingzhou Qiushui, Liuqiao Yingyue, Zhiyu Xie... Follow this route to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery, and finally stroll back to the north gate from Zao Ying Baochun and Li Ying Feiyun, a perfect ending. 📷[Photo Tips] 🔹The first thing to do after entering the park is to find the purple guide map, which clearly shows the distribution of different cherry blossom varieties, allowing you to accurately locate the best photo spots. Places like Li Ying Feiyun, Ying Tang Chunxiao, and the lakeside Zai Shui Yi Fang are perfect for wide-angle lenses, capturing the spring atmosphere in an instant. Want to capture the characteristics of different cherry blossom varieties? The whitish Oshima cherry and Somei Yoshino are fresh and elegant, while the pinkish Kanzan cherry and Edohigan are charming and lovely. You can also distinguish flowers by the number of petals. Single-petal varieties are mostly Yamazakura and weeping cherry, while multi-petal varieties are mostly night cherry. 🔹If you're tired, there are restaurants in the park with snacks and light meals to fill your stomach. However, most people prefer to bring their own food. On a sunny day, having an outdoor picnic on a park bench, basking in the sun and enjoying the flowers is incredibly relaxing. 🔹For outfits, white and light-colored clothing are definitely the best choices for taking photos. Under the blue sky and white clouds, you will be the most beautiful person in spring! 🚌[Transportation Guide] 🔹Yuyuantan Park has four gates, each with its own convenient access method.
