Grand View Garden

☘️ Beijing Grand View Garden is an ancient-style garden architecture built in the 1980s for the filming of the TV series 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. Many classic scenes from the novel can be found here, and it has also been a location for scenes from 'Empresses in the Palace' and 'My Fair Princess'. 🚗 Transportation: Line 14 Xitieying Subway Station (a bit far from the entrance, if not in a hurry, you can choose to take the bus) 🌼 Ticket: 40 yuan (available for purchase anytime, no reservation needed, and if you buy an annual pass, you can enter an unlimited number of times) 🕰️ Opening hours: 8:30-16:30 🌟 Recommended route: Main gate (South Gate) → Winding Path to Secluded Spots → Autumnal Pavilion (Tan Chun) → Qin Fang Pavilion → Xiao Xiang Lodge (Lin Daiyu) → Warm Fragrance Retreat (Xi Chun) → Rice Fragrance Village (Grandmother Jia's noon rest) → Embellished Scenery Tower (Ying Chun) → Heng Wu Garden (Xue Baochai) → Main Hall (includes visiting relatives' villa archway, etc.) → Leng Cui An (Miao Yu) → Happy Red Courtyard (Jia Baoyu) 🌺 Recommended attractions: 1. The Visiting Relatives Villa and Grand View Tower from the Empress's visit, with a restoration of the visiting scene and a display of costumes from the drama. You can go up to the second floor of the Grand View Tower, which houses a collection of books on the filming and research of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It is one of the rare buildings that actually allows people to go up to the second floor and overlook the beauty of the garden from above, offering an unbeatable view. 2. Lin Daiyu's Xiao Xiang Lodge, with lots of bamboo, is a great place for taking photos with an ancient atmosphere. 3. Jia Baoyu's Happy Red Courtyard, close to where Daiyu lives, is the most luxurious courtyard in the garden, full of the characteristics of beauty and fragrance, and a place for the various sisters' activities. 4. Xue Baochai's Heng Wu Garden, where no flowers or trees are seen, only strange vines and herbs. She likes to study fragrances, and inside there are various introductions to fragrances and cultural and creative products.

Pear blossoms melt in the courtyard under the moonlight, while the gentle breeze carries the willow fluff over the pond. I continue to laboriously update the major photography spots in Beijing according to the categories of flowers. This article is about the 'white moonlight' in the eyes of the ancients - pear blossoms. Like apricot blossoms, they are also delicate beauties with a blooming period of about a week. A gust of wind can blow them away, but if you manage to capture them in the wind, congratulations, you will see what is called 'pear blossoms like falling snow'. Cherish and capture these moments. I have been taking photos for so many years and still haven't captured all the pear blossoms on the Beijing map, for reasons mentioned above👆 Here are the ones I've photographed: 📍Forbidden City p2-5: The bricks and tiles of the Forbidden City match perfectly with spring. Bloom: 4.3 Address: Walk 1.1 km from Exit B of the Jinyu Hutong Station on Line 8, 🎫¥60, book tickets seven days in advance, if you want to go, you have to be quick Let me talk about the distribution of pear blossoms: 1⃣️In the Shoukang Palace, there is one tree on each side, east and west, but the blossoms are not as good as in previous years, I wonder how they will be this year 2⃣️The Chengqian Palace, which has been closed for many years due to repairs, I wonder if I will ever get to photograph it in my lifetime 📍Grand View Garden p6-7: Ancient green buildings paired with pear blossoms Bloom: 4.14 Address: Exit D of Xitieying Station on Metro Line 14, walk 1.2 km Pear blossoms are in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where sister Daiyu lived. There is a particularly tall pear tree in front of the courtyard, and a few more scattered around the yard. Unfortunately, they were a bit fallen when I went, but it doesn't affect the Grand View Garden's delicate no.1 in my heart 📍Temple of Heaven p8-11: The pear trees in the Temple of Heaven are said to be 'Du' pears, but I don't understand the difference between 'Du' pear trees and regular pear trees. Does anyone know? Bloom: 4.17 Address: Near the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven, the ancient pear trees are very beautiful, but they are quite far away and can only be admired from a distance, near the Zhaisheng Pavilion at the East Gate, directly accessible by Metro Line 5 The above are the ones I've photographed, those I haven't include: 📍Zhihua Temple's pear blossoms should be the ancient temple's ceiling, but unfortunately, I only caught the crabapple blossoms at Zhihua Temple 📍Tuancheng: Has white lilacs, white crabapples, and white pears, the so-called 'Three Whites of Tuancheng' 📍Daxing Pear Blossom Village, with thousands of acres of pear orchards, but the transportation is very poor If my friends want to see more collections of flower photography, let me know and I will slowly update them
