[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Juyongguan Flower Sea (Updated Apr)

"Juyongguan Flower Sea, you really had a blast there!" Juyongguan, this ancient and magnificent pass, attracts countless tourists with its spectacular flower sea landscape. In spring, I embarked on a journey to the Juyongguan Flower Sea. As I traveled along the winding mountain road, a dazzling and colorful sea of flowers gradually unfolded before my eyes. Large swathes of flowers spread out like a tapestry, with red, yellow, purple, white, and other colors interwoven together, like a magnificent painting drawn by nature. The flower sea is filled with a variety of fragrant flowers. Delicate roses, brilliant sunflowers, and elegant tulips sway gently in the breeze, as if showing off their beauty and vitality. Standing on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire flower sea, the spectacular sight is intoxicating. In the distance is the majestic Great Wall, winding like a giant dragon through the mountains; nearby, the colorful flowers are like a group of joyful sprites dancing. Strolling through the flower sea, feeling the breeze on my face and the fragrance of flowers, it's as if I'm in a fairyland. Tourists take out their cameras to capture these beautiful moments. In addition to enjoying the flower sea, one can also climb the Great Wall to feel the vicissitudes and weight of history. Standing on the Great Wall and looking into the distance, a sense of pride wells up inside. The Juyongguan Flower Sea is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual purification. Here, people can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, get close to nature, and appreciate the beauty of life.

Spring is warm, and flowers are blooming. The sea of flowers at Juyongguan is "spectacularly florid", as the Beijing suburban railway S2 line travels through the fragrance, the eyes are met with "spring in full swing".

April is the month of spring when all the flowers are gone, and it is the perfect time to take the kids out for a walk. Between the Juyongguan Great Wall and the Badaling Great Wall, due to the temperature and altitude in the mountains, pear blossoms, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms bloom at different times and the flowering period is very long. On the days when Juyongguan is full of green and peach and apricot trees, a white train travels through the sea of ​​flowers. This is the S2 line, which is called the train to spring. Whether you take the S2 line to enjoy the flowers or take pictures of the S2 line train and the sea of ​​flowers, this train to the sea of ​​flowers must be the most beautiful encounter this spring. Hurry up and take your kids on this flower train tour, by reading this guide! · 🚄【Take the S2 train to enjoy the flowers】 The S2 line of Juyongguan is a commuter train from Beijing North Station to Yanqing.

Along the way, cross the arch bridge built by Zhan Tianyou and you will reach the entrance of the plank road. After entering the plank road, there is a section of road close to the railway, where you can wait for the train to turn. There are 4 observation decks on the plank road, and No. 2 observation deck has the most people and the best view. The most representative S-bend pictures were taken here.
