[2024 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Beijing Yuyuantan Park (Updated Oct)

Best place for sakura in BJ

Yuyuantan park is located in the center of Beijing (subway line 16, Yuyuantan Park East Gate station, Exit D). It is not so large, you can walk from one side to another one for 30 min., but the spring is the best time for visiting it because of sakura blossoms. There are many things connected with sakura: sakura ice cream, ancient chinese clothes, toys, sweets etc. And there is a lake, so you can rent a boat. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #park #sakura #lake #blossoms

Yuyuantan Park

This is a huge park, with a very big and nice lake in the middle, worth a walk through if you have around 2 hours free. Possibly do it if you have a couple hours spare before catching a train from the West railway station. Bear in mind that there is a river running on the South side of the park which is not easy to cross. There is however one bridge which crosses it and leads directly to the park entrance. There is a small charge for the park, but only about 5 rmb. The Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrated in Yuyuantan Park in spring (from late March to the end of April) every year. Yuyuantan Park is one of the best places to see flowers in Beijing. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #easylife

Visiting Beijing still requires a trip to Yuyuantan Park (Part Two)

I remember Yuyuantan Park had no entrance fee, was almost empty during the day, and was a place where young couples in love would either hide in the small woods or rent a boat to sway on the lake. It would start to get lively in the evening with people walking, playing sports, swimming in the wild, and my favorite was the selling of Beibingyang soda on flatbed carts with big blocks of ice... Yuyuantan Park has really changed now, with flowers blooming all over the garden. When I arrived, it was the end of the cherry blossom season, but there were still crowds of visitors, and the wild ducks and mandarin ducks on the water were swimming freely. Everything was so full of life. It turns out, it's not just the place that's different, but also me.

Fresh Morning in Yuyuantan Park

Came here in the morning to fully enjoy April's #springblossom. I read on the internet that this is most of people's favorite spot to witness various flowers and relax in chill vibe on this season. I also like being here, since there are many flowers that I've never seen before. If you don't have time to have breakfast, they have some snacks and beverage inside the park too. 📍 Yuyuantan Park Haidian District, Beijing To reach this place you can take Beijing city bus number 21 or 94 stop at Yuyuantan Gongyuan bus stop.

If you come to Beijing, you still have to visit Yuyuantan Park (Part One)

I remember Yuyuantan Park with no entrance fee, almost deserted during the day, where dating couples would either hide in the small woods or rent a boat to sway on the lake. It would get lively from the evening with people walking, playing ball, swimming in the wild, and my favorite was the selling of Beibingyang soda on flatbed carts with big blocks of ice... Now, Yuyuantan Park has really changed, with flowers blooming all over the garden. When I arrived, it was the tail end of the cherry blossoms, yet the place was still bustling with visitors, and the wild ducks and mandarin ducks on the water were swimming freely. Everything was so vibrant, and I realized, it's not just the place that's different, but also me.

Spring Awakening in Yuyuantan

#cherryblossom2024 #Beijing #CherryBlossoms #SpringBeauty Yuyuantan's cherry blossoms are like spring's alarm clock in Beijing. 🌸 Despite this year's cancellation of the Cherry Blossom Festival, the flowers still bloom and fall as they do every year, offering a timeless beauty that can be enjoyed without haste. Although we can't be there to hear the gentle fall of cherry blossom petals, the sight of these clouds of flowers is simply breathtaking. 🌸 Against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, spring feels even more enchanting. This season brings a sense of clarity and joy, revealing the beauty of Beijing's spring in a way I've never noticed before. Each cherry blossom tree in Yuyuantan is a marvel to behold, offering a scene that changes with every glance. 🌸 I find myself reminiscing about the lively atmosphere of the festival, with its "long guns and short guns" (likely referring to the different types of cherry blossom trees) adding to the festive ambiance.

Yuyuantan Park

Yuyuantan Park (South Gate) Yuyuantan, the romance of sunset and cherry blossoms Visiting Yuyuantan Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms has become a tradition for Beijingers every spring, especially around the Qingming Festival. Choosing a clear day to go out and appreciate the flowers is a wonderful feeling. Choosing the time: I like to take photos, and the light is a bit better at dusk. Yuyuantan under the sunset is more beautiful and more artistic. I choose to enter the park at four o'clock in the afternoon, and by six o'clock the sun will have set. The lake surface is remembered as being orange, which should be a good time for photography. Where to enter from: Yuyuantan Park is large, with 6 gates for entry and exit. Usually, people enter from the East Gate and exit from the West Gate, walking along the lakeshore and enjoying the scenery, which takes half a day. If you play and shoot along the way, stopping now and then, it takes longer. I choose to enter from the South Gate and exit from the West Gate, mainly because the scenery on the north shore of the West Lake is good. I think the north shore is an excellent place to shoot the sunset and also to catch the sunset time. Main attractions: 1. As soon as you enter the South Gate and cross the bridge, you can see the cherry blossoms, mainly pink and white, with green willows accompanying them, very beautiful. There are also many lilacs, with a fragrant aroma, making the cherry blossom viewing quite pleasant. Couples linger under the flowers, creating a very romantic atmosphere. Walking to the west side of the Yuanyang Garden Pier, this is a good position. Looking west, you can see the Five-hole Stone Bridge, the Central Embankment Bridge, and the reflection of the lake and bridges. Looking east, there is a row of red antique buildings, which are also very beautiful. Then to Yuyuanting Pavilion, this is a higher place in the park, where you can view the cherry blossom forest from a distance. Below the pavilion, there is a patch of red cherry blossoms, dense and layered, with vibrant colors. Girls in various ancient costumes take photos here, creating a nice atmosphere. 4. At the north shore of the West Lake, the sunset is just right, with red light and shadows on one side and the TV tower on the other, reflecting a long shadow on the water, which feels pretty good. Unfortunately, I didn't capture the frame with the cherry blossoms. Later, I found a spot next to the Cherry Blossom Valley, but the sun had already set. 5 Walking towards the West Gate, passing by the Nanshan Cherry Blossom Viewing Pier, this area is the cherry blossom zone, but it was already very dim, the TV tower was lit up, emitting a red glow, which looked quite good against the cherry blossom forest below. Suggested visiting time: I entered the park from the South Gate at 4 pm and exited from the West Gate at almost 7 pm, about 3 hours in total, for your reference. Address: Yuyuantan South Road, Haidian District, Beijing Transportation: Take bus No. 32 or 414 directly to Yuyuantan South Gate Time: The cherry blossom festival lasts from mid to late March to late April, divided into early and late cherry blossom periods, with opening hours from 6 am to 9 pm. Tickets: During the cherry blossom festival, the full-price ticket is 10 yuan, and the discounted ticket is 5 yuan.

Beijing in spring is a prime time for flower viewing, with Yuyuantan Park being a top spot for cherry blossom appreciation

Beijing's spring is one of my favorite seasons. During March and April each year, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, crabapples, and lilacs bloom in succession, and the ancient capital of Beijing is filled with clusters of flowers and fragrant breezes. Among the many flower viewing spots, Yuyuantan Park is definitely one of the top destinations, and it is a famous place in Beijing for enjoying the cherry blossoms. - At the end of March and the beginning of April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the vast Yuyuantan Park is bustling with people, even on weekdays, the park is crowded with visitors. The pink cherry blossoms set against the tall Central Television Tower are like clouds and rosy skies, creating a unique scenery of Yuyuantan Park in spring. - There are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan Park, and the best cherry blossom viewing route is to enter from the west gate, where you are immediately greeted by large expanses of cherry blossom forests. The cherry trees here are quite tall, and it is best to take portraits from a low angle, which helps to avoid the surrounding crowds. - In Shui Yifang, Liying Feiyun, and Liuqiao Yingyue, there are also many cherry blossoms, and you can visit them one by one. After taking photos, you can cross the bridge and walk south towards the China Millennium Monument, and not far from the south gate, there are several cherry trees planted on a high platform, where you can take photos of people among the cherry blossoms! - Tips: 1. Yuyuantan Park has been crowded recently, so it's best to go early if you want to avoid the crowds. Some people go as early as 6 am to achieve an effect of having the place to themselves. 2. Because of the crowds, most of the scenes involve looking up at the trees, so it's best to choose a clear, sunny day to go, which will allow you to capture the cherry trees against a blue sky. Address: No. 10, Middle West Third Ring Road, Haidian District, Beijing

Beijing Yuyuantan | If you don't come now, you'll have to wait another year!

I've been looking forward to the cherry blossoms at Yuyuantan Park🌸, and this year I finally made it on the 31st. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and I took a lot of beautiful photos, they were especially gorgeous! However, Yuyuantan gets very crowded, so it's best to go in the morning or after 3 pm. The midday light is very strong, and the sunshine☀️ is intense, which is not ideal for photography. I suggest that everyone bring a small stool when going to take photos, otherwise, you will be really tired. If you want better photos, bring a reflector and fill light! Try to shoot from a low angle to avoid a messy background due to the crowds. There are many cultural and creative products in the scenic area where you can buy some souvenirs. There are boats available, but they come with an additional charge. I don't really recommend driving to Yuyuantan, even though there is a parking lot, because there are just too many cars and it's not convenient! The park is quite large, so if you have time, take a longer stroll and walk along the lakeshore to find different scenery! The best time to visit is around the Qingming Festival when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, which is very spectacular and beautiful. I suggest that those who want to go should not hesitate, pack your bags and set off immediately, otherwise, you'll have to wait another year!

Spring in Beijing can no longer be hidden!

In the four areas of Yuyuantan, the cherry blossom area is the most popular spot every spring, where the cherry blossom garden is a gathering place for visitors to admire. In recent years, new varieties have been continuously introduced, and more cherry blossoms have been cultivated, forming a scale of more than 2,000 trees within a total area of 250,000 square meters. Around 1990, the park began a large-scale landscaping project, successively introducing 14 varieties from within the country. Currently, there are nearly 20 varieties, including mountain cherry, Oshima cherry, green bark cherry, Somei Yoshino, American cherry, Hangzhou early cherry, Higan cherry from across the sea, Omoigawa, Edo Higan, Yae-beni Oshima, Taibai, and others. After 2001, a large number of Somei Yoshino were planted, gradually forming a spring landscape where mountain cherry, Oshima cherry, and Yoshino cherry compete in beauty. Spring at Yuyuantan is wonderfully beautiful. At this time, the spring breeze is still very gentle. The early blooming cherry blossoms drift down with the breeze, staging a cherry blossom rain. A manga has made people remember the phrase '5 centimeters per second,' which refers to the falling speed of cherry blossoms. These tender pink petals spiral down from the wind, performing the most moving scene of spring.

Why has Yuyuantan become the number one spot for cherry blossom viewing in Beijing?

Yuyuantan's long history dates back to the Jin Dynasty. Since Yuyuantan was only two li away from the Hui Cheng Gate to the northwest of the capital of the Jin Dynasty, it was a place where the emperor would visit for pleasure. Nobles, relatives of the royal family, and literati often liked to visit this place, making Yuyuantan a famous scenic spot for sightseeing in the capital. Yuyuantan Park is divided into different scenic areas, with various cherry blossom viewing spots set up in different areas, such as Yushu Linfeng, Ying Tang Chun Xiao, Zao Ying Bao Chun, Li Ying Fei Yun, Yin Shu Ni Chang, Zai Shui Yi Fang, You Yi Ying Lin, Nan Shan Guan Ying, Ying Luo Hua Gu, Ying Bin Zhi Lu, and so on. Yuyuantan Cherry Blossom Garden is the largest cherry blossom garden in North China, collecting various cherry blossom species. The garden has collected more than 40 varieties of cherry blossoms, totaling nearly 3,000 trees, allowing visitors to enjoy the sequential blooming of different colors and varieties of cherry blossoms throughout the park, continuously enhancing the viewing experience.
