In April, spring is arriving. Fragrant Hills Park welcomes the best viewing period of mountain flowers. This year, with the theme of "Spring in Fragrance", the park has combined natural mountain flowers and landscape arrangements to let citizens and visitors wander through a romantic sea of flowers in the mountains.
It is often said that spring in Beijing is beautiful but short-lived. As one of the closest mountain parks to the city, Fragrant Hills Park is slightly cooler than downtown Beijing, offering a longer viewing time for mountain flowers. All kinds of natural mountain flowers such as lilacs, begonias, forsythia, chrysanthemum peaches and Orychophragmus violaceus are blooming in the park, extending the vitality of spring.
Fragrant Hills Park has arranged themed floral miniature landscapes on the main roads in the north and south respectively. In Maple Forest Village, with the theme of "Nature's Date", tents, rabbits and flamingos are used to create a leisure camp. In Jiali Garden, the theme of "Water Side", the landscape of a cute bunny in a wooden boat sailing to the sea of flowers has been created. At the Ropeway Lower Station, flowers are turned into decorative paintings through a wooden frame under the theme of "Warm Frame" to promote the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. In addition, the park has also arranged flower path landscapes in Zhisong Garden and other places, with a total exhibition area of 2,200 square meters. It mainly uses 15,000 plants of 38 kinds of flowers such as ranunculus, Iceland poppy, South African marigold, giant begonia, tagetes patula, verbena and so on. Among them, more than 6,000 ranunculi, which are the main flowers of the mountain flower viewing period, are cultivated by the park itself.
In addition, the park also launches popular science and cultural activities such as "Secrets of Flowers", "Red Leaves in Spring" and "Observe an Ancient Tree", leading citizens and visitors to experience spring through seeing, hearing, smelling and hand-making. Visitors can follow the WeChat public account of Fragrant Hills Park to get information about the activities.
