As the warm spring finally arrives, Changping district in Beijing enters its most enchanting season in late March and its stunning scenery spot, Juyongguan Pass with "Sea of Flowers" at the Great Wall, welcomes visitors from Saturday to April 21, with daily visiting hours from 8 am to 5 pm.

The hills and valleys are adorned with the blossoming mountain peach flowers. At the foot of Juyongguan Pass at the Great Wall, the mountain peach blossoms are the first to burst into bloom.

A train named Line S2 winds its way through blooming peach trees near Juyongguan Pass. Trains traveling on this line have been given the nickname "the train to spring" by tourists.

"I feel like it's so romantic," said Wang Xin, a 60-year-old visitor who came to the Juyongguan Pass to enjoy flowers on Tuesday. "It's raining a little bit, which has even added an atmosphere of romance."

After the breathtaking scenery, indulging in delicious local cuisine is a must, drawing in a large number of tourists.

Many restaurants are serving traditional local food called "spring pancakes". People usually have them at the beginning of the spring.

Amusement parks for kids are nearby at Wanniangfen village in Shisanling township, providing a space for families to spend leisure springtime.

In the future, Changping district will continue to make efforts to complement its tourism resources to offer various choices for visitors to enjoy the scene, food and sports activities.
