The hidden peach blossom wonderland in Beijing is in full bloom, and it's at Beigong Park!

Beijing has officially entered the flower blooming season, and the peach blossoms are now in full bloom. Today, we're sharing a great place to see peach blossoms—Beigong National Forest Park, which hides a stunning peach blossom wonderland that is more beautiful than you can imagine! It only takes 30 mins to get there from the west fifth ring road of Beijing, making it very convenient. The park is covered with peach blossoms, growing freely along the winding mountain roads. The pink and white blossoms, with their layers of petals, resemble the elaborate skirts of dancing girls. The lush vegetation and relatively few visitors make it a great place for forest bathing, suitable for both the elderly and children. Beigong National Forest Park, located at 55 Dahui Chang East Road, Changxindian Town, Fengtai District, Beijing, is a National AAAA Tourist Attraction and a National Forest Park, covering a total area of 914.5 hectares. The park consists of three main scenic areas—east, west, and central—as well as nearly 10,000 square meters of supporting facilities, including the Beigong Villa and Mingsheng Tower. Inside the park, there are 12 cultural attractions, such as pavilions, corridors, towers, and pagodas, as well as 15 natural attractions, including Fangze Creek, Little Jiangnan, Fenglin Road, and Hualin Valley. The park boasts 3,000 mu of greenery, with 36,000 trees of 21 high-quality species, over 30 species of wild flowers covering an area of over 50,000 square meters, and a total of 253 plant species. The park is divided into ten functional areas: sightseeing, mountain climbing and fitness, fruit picking and fishing, wild flower viewing, exotic species viewing, forest bathing, colorful foliage viewing, leisure and entertainment, conference dining, and comprehensive services.
