“Haitang Huaxi” (The Crabapple Blossoms Serried Brook), a scenic spot in Yuan Dynasty Capital City Wall Site Park, enjoys a high reputation for its wildly blooming Chinese Flowering Crabapples. All varieties of crabapple blossoms here come out in a rush in time, such as midget crabapple blossoms and hall crabapple blossoms. The “Chinese Flowering Crabapples Festival” in the Park is one of the three biggest “Flower Events” in Beijing, and the other two are “Peach Flower Festival” in Beijing Botanical Garden and “Cherry Flower Festival” in Yuyuantan Park.

Soong Ching-ling once loved crabapple blossoms, which come out wildly in early April, delicate as morning glow at the skyline. As in autumn crabapples hung heavily on branches, she would produce them into sauce and share with friends. The great man passed away, while her beloved trees such as the phoenix-shaped locust tree and the Himalayan spindle remain permanently.
