Dragon Boat Festival Elegance at Beijing Grand View Garden

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Beijing Grand View Garden transforms into the lively scenes from the classic novel 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' This year, the park is hosting a themed event titled 'Savor the Red Chamber's Dragon Boat Festival, Experience a Colorful Life,' offering a variety of engaging activities. Visitors can learn to make decorative rice dumplings on-site, with options like Baoyu's savory meat dumplings and Daiyu's bamboo leaf dumplings, adding a fun twist to the tradition. At the Ou Jing Xi Pavilion, guests can participate in workshops to craft sachets, colorful threads, and even attend a jewelry-making class inspired by the Red Chamber characters. Additionally, the weekend folk stage will feature captivating performances, while classic Red Chamber melodies will be played on guzheng and guitar in front of the Provincial Villa. For those interested, you can pre-book a guzheng lecture at Jiayin Hall. The garden's pavilions and towers perfectly recreate the refined Dragon Boat Festival scenes described in Cao Xueqin's novel, from the playful 'tearing fans for a laugh worth a thousand gold' to the traditional customs of wearing sachets and tying longevity threads. Every detail exudes the elegance and charm of aristocratic life. If you're a fan of traditional costumes, the park is also inviting visitors to submit photography works and join the 'Exploring the Flora of Grand View Garden' guided tour, which requires pre-booking. Come to Grand View Garden and celebrate a culturally rich Dragon Boat Festival!
