National Botanical Garden (Cherry Gully)

National Botanical Garden (Cherry Gully) was recognized as one of the "Internet-Famous Attractions in Beijing" in 2020 and 2021.

The National Botanical Garden is located at the foot of the Western Hills of Beijing, including two parks, the South Park (Institute of Botany, The Chinese Academy of Sciences) and the North Park (Beijing Botanical Garden), which now has an open area of about 300 hectares, with a collection of more than 17,000 species of plants, with the North and South Parks having their distinctive features.

Cherry Gully is located in the National Botanical Garden (North Garden), which is a nature reserve in Beijing. The largest Metasequoia forest in north China is planted here. Metasequoia is a rare relict plant, known as the "living fossil" in the plant world. To promote its growth, spraying devices have been installed here to create a dreamy landscape with layers of mist, earning this place the nickname "the fairyland on earth".

The scenic spot also has three outstanding landscapes - "the Water Source", "the Yuan Jewel" and "the Pine on the Rock". It is said that the Yuan Jewel" and the "Pine on the Rock" were the inspirations for Cao Xueqin to write the classic novel Dream of Red Mansions. Meanwhile, the December 9th Movement Memorial Site, which was awarded "Beijing Patriotism Education Base" in 2012, is also located at the scenic spot, which is an important place to commemorate the martyrs of the revolution and inherit the red spirit.
