Let’s go outside to visit Ritan Park together

It’s a beautiful sunny summer day and that means today it’s a perfect day to visit Beijing’s Ritan Park. Ritan Park is special due to its landscape and architecture. It is a perfect Asian oasis with one of its kind rock formations, paths and gazebos. Ritan Park used to be a temple complex dated back to 16th century. And now it is opened for the public to enjoy. 🍲 Restaurants - There are a few cozy cafes in the park itself. I recommend visiting Stone Boat Cafe because it is very cute and it is located right on the lake. 🚕 Getting there - I always get around Beijing by DiDi taxis or public transport. Ritan Park is located just 10 minutes drive away from the Forbidden City. ⛩ Attractions - Walking around the park, taking photos, visiting temples, lakes, rock formations and enjoying the day. Visit Ritan Park next time you are visiting beautiful Beijing and enjoy 😊 #gooutside #beijing #china #travel #passionpassport

The season of dancing with flowers

Ritan Park, you really have a blast with the flowers! Every year, during March and April, Beijing becomes the most colorful season, because in the short spring of the north, all the splendid flowers rush to bloom brilliantly in their lives. Ritan Park not only provides such a place but also offers such a ceremony on the day of the Vernal Equinox. Thus, the flower fairies start their grand show of 'after you sing, I take the stage,' delighting and refreshing all onlookers. Watching the aunties dancing among the flowers in the park, the uncles playing with the dragon dance, full of energy and vigor, don't you feel that youth seems to be prolonged, just like this spring?

A classical imperial garden with Chinese temple style

"Ritan Park" is located in the heart of the embassy district in Chaoyang District, Beijing. "Ritan", also known as the Altar of the Sun, was built in the ninth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1530). It was originally a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped the god of the Great Ming—the sun, and is one of the five altars of Beijing. In 1955, it was turned into a park. The main attractions in the park include: the garden altar, the west and north celestial gates, the divine warehouse and kitchen, the animal sacrifice pavilion, the ceremonial attire hall, the sun worship mural, the southwest scenic area, the Qu Pool in Spring, the Yuxin Garden, the Peony Garden, the senior citizens' activity area, etc. The park also houses the "Martyr Ma Jun Memorial Room".

The early spring sun shines, making the flowers look almost red with brightness

The Ritan Park is where you've had a splendid time! As the venue for the opening ceremony of the first Garden Festival in Chaoyang District, Ritan Park has been decorated with dreamlike floral arrangements representing each month's seasonal flowers since the day of the Spring Equinox. Visitors flock to the park, eager to check in and take photos. What's especially heartwarming is that each setting is themed around the seasonal flowers of a particular park for each month, providing educational information about flower appreciation, which is both enlightening and meaningful.

Beijing is truly magnificent, and Ritan Park is so beautiful!

So many people! And there are so many people around the giant bouquet! It's almost embarrassing to take photos... Although they are pretty, they are not real flowers, just saying. But luckily, Ritan Park itself is quite nice to stroll around. In spring, the trees are shady, the water is clear, and the sky is blue with white clouds. Magnolia, peach blossoms, and forsythia are all in bloom. The ancient-style pavilions and the distant modern buildings complement each other interestingly.

Ritan Park, you really had a blast!

The Chaoyang Garden Festival and Vernal Equinox Cultural Festival at Ritan Park

Yesterday, 3.20, was the day of the Vernal Equinox in the lunar calendar, and Ritan Park was even more bustling than a temple fair. The first Beijing Chaoyang Garden Festival and the seventeenth Vernal Equinox Chaoyang Cultural Festival kicked off at Ritan Park. Besides the opening ceremony at the Round Altar at nine in the morning, which required tickets for entry, all activities at the main venue and throughout the park were free of charge after ten o'clock. Parks across the Chaoyang District had flower bed displays, and despite the season still being a mix of warm and cold, most were decorated with fresh flowers. Along the red walls in the park, there was a large-scale Spring Festival cultural market. Starting at ten o'clock, there were performances on the central stage, as well as surrounding activities such as lion dancing, wrestling, and community dance team performances. In the past, Ritan Park's Vernal Equinox events were generally antique sacrificial performances to the heavens. This year's Vernal Equinox has incorporated more green landscaping activities, promoting traditional Chinese culture and intangible cultural heritage, attracting a large number of residents and tourists to participate. Ritan Park, in ancient times, was the place where emperors worshipped the sun god on the day of the Vernal Equinox. Historical records show that during the Ming dynasty's Longqing and Chongzhen reigns, and the Qing dynasty's Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang reigns, emperors personally offered sacrifices at Ritan. The Chaoyang Garden Festival and Vernal Equinox Cultural Festival at Ritan Park will continue until the end of March. Ritan Park has no admission fee and is located near Jianguomen.

Charming Garden Festival, a date with spring

At the time of the Spring Equinox, while exercising in Ritan Park, I happened to catch the opening ceremony of the first Beijing Chaoyang Garden Festival and the seventeenth Spring Equinox Chaoyang Cultural Festival. The park's Spirit Road, Circular Mound, and Sun Worship Mural Gallery were all set up with related experience scenes. At this moment, we can follow the different blooming times to visit various parks in Chaoyang and truly start a series of dates with spring.

Autumn at Ritan Park

It's just near the company, and when the weather is nice, I come here for a run. The ginkgo trees in autumn and the lotus flowers in summer are both quite pleasant.

The autumn atmosphere is strong in Ritan Park

Ritan Park is located in the CBD area of Beijing, and it is connected with the embassy area to form a beautiful autumn scene. This is not a must-visit spot for tour groups, but a good place for local residents to exercise and nearby white-collar workers to enjoy their lunch and appreciate the autumn scenery. The ginkgo leaves on Ginkgo Avenue have begun to turn yellow, with rich colors, and it is estimated that they will all turn golden in about a week. The ginkgo leaves on the high places have also turned golden, which is particularly beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. The willow leaves by the water have also turned slightly yellow, forming a very comfortable autumn scene. Ritan Park is not big, and it can be visited in about an hour. Coming out of the south gate, walking or cycling along the embassy area is also a very good enjoyment.

Beijing Ritan Park, along with the Temple of Heaven, the Ditan and the Moon Altar, are the places where the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties sacrificed the Sun of the god of the Ming Dynasty. The overall scale is much smaller than that of the Temple of Heaven, so few tourists visit it. The park is free of charge. It is almost the people around here. But park management is not bad at all. After years of operation, the park has Peony Garden, Qinghui Pavilion, Quchi Shengchun Garden, Holiday murals, quaint Yihe Yaju, classical southwest scenic spots, galleries, etc. . The South Gate enters, facing the "Festival of the Day" murals, not only residents in the square, but also foreign friends who work in the embassy area. From the south gate to the west, it is the southwestern scenic spot of the Suntan, especially the first generation of the Minamata. There are ponds with promenades and mountains and rocks, which are built according to the style of Jiangnan gardens. Before and after the summer, the lotus in the pool was opened. After a long distance, I saw a pink flower on the green lotus leaf as big as the child's head. Hurry and rush, past, this big piece. The stone around the otter, the drop from the lotus pond is very small, the lotus just grows to the height of the person, and the lotus is at your fingertips. In the pool, the colors of the lotus flowers are not the same, there are white as snow, light pink like a girl's cheek, purple as the west side of the evening glow. From the deep high in the pool, the tall flower buds, looked up and up, gradually opened, revealing the yellow stamens in the heart, and the tender lotus. Mature, large petals fall, the lotus becomes dark green, and the lotus seeds mature.
