Taoranting Park 

The Baochun pavilion in Taoranting Park, at the foot of the mountain in the northeast corner of the park, has a four-corner spire. The ridge of the pavilion is slightly curved, the four corners are slowly upturned, and the shape is stretched and smooth. The pavilion is equipped with pine and stone, widely planted winter jasmine. In every early spring, winter jasmine flowers bloom and spring is full of vitality.

At this time, the mountain peach blooms together with the winter jasmine, and against the background of evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, the pink is like a glow and golden yellow, creating a beautiful picture of spring.  

In addition, this year, Taoranting Park won the top ten of the fourth "Citizens' Favorite Spring Festival and Lantern Festival Landscape Decoration" organized by the Beijing Municipal Urban Management Commission and Beijing Daily, for which the park retains red lanterns, Chinese knots and other Spring Festival elements, creating a different spring scenery and unique charm for citizens and tourists.

Shichahai

As the temperature rises, the streets of Beijing become greener and greener. The wicker on the shore of Shichahai is gradually greening, and winter jasmine and peach flowers are blooming. Citizens and tourists walk through it to feel the beautiful scenery of early spring.

Visitors can stroll along the trail around the lake to Xihai Wetland Park, the only urban wetland in the core area, where more than 50 species of aquatic plants and various birds from Wild Duck Island inhabit and play. 

On the north bank of the park, the Beijing Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall has a quiet environment and pleasant scenery, and the winter jasmine on the mountain of the memorial hall has also bloomed. In early spring, Xihai Wetland Park seems to have just woken up from a long sleep.

Gulou West Street 

If you don't have time to visit the park for spring viewing, strolling or cycling along the East Second Ring Road is also excellent. You don't need to look for it and you can bump into spring on the road. The winter jasmine is distributed on Beijing's Second Ring Road, with Chaoyangmen Bridge to Dongbianmen Bridge being the most prosperous, with a length of several kilometers. The yellow spring flowers are even more delicate against the background of pine cypresses, and their branches seem to "bow" to greet passers-by.

Winter jasmine can be said to be everywhere in Beijing, and they decorate the spring in Beijing in all corners of the city. 

As the temperature rises, the flower located on Gulou West Street also blooms, conveying the spring atmosphere to people. Walking under the red wall and encountering this bright color, anyone will take out their mobile phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.
