In summer, Beijing is full of blooming flowers. Come to these atmospheric "flower worlds" to take your summer blockbuster photos!
Temple of Heaven
In May, in the northeast outer altar of the Temple of Heaven, a charming and beautiful path unfolds slowly, with a profusion of flowers creating a poetic and tranquil natural garden.
This immersive themed long-lasting flower landscape created by the Temple of Heaven for visitors is located next to the outer altar ring road, covering an area of approximately 2000 square meters. Against the backdrop of the lush tree canopy of the Temple of Heaven, a variety of flowers such as roses, lilies, artemisia argyi, hibiscus, and sweet peas complement each other, creating a colorful summer flower cluster.
On May 16, the 44th Rose Exhibition at the Temple of Heaven Park arrived as scheduled with the blooming season and favorable winds, and the exhibition will continue until May 23.
The Temple of Heaven Park has innovatively created a characteristic tour layout of "one park, one belt, one scene." In the "one park" area, over 300 varieties and tens of thousands of roses of different postures shine under the ancient cypress trees and the dome of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
If you follow the fragrant potted rose "flower belt" surrounding the main exhibition area, you can stroll along this beautiful scenic route into the Rose Garden and immerse yourself in the atmosphere-filled flower landscape of the Temple of Heaven.

Badachu Park
This summer, on the north side of Baihui Garden Road in Xishan Badachu, a micro landscape that "breathes" quietly grew on the stone wall - a succulent three-dimensional wall!
The collision of the hard wall and the soft succulents bursts with natural vitality in the stone crevices, making every snap a refreshing and beautiful photo.
The top of the stone wall is filled with ingenuity! Ivy and golden pothos cascade like a waterfall, wooden flower boxes and clay pots hang in a scattered manner, and succulents "grow" out of the wall, forming a rich three-dimensional plant community.
More than 10 varieties of succulents and green plants, including Guanyin lotus, Zichilianhua, Bodhi beads, and Master Carnival, make up a colorful "plant color palette," bringing joy to every glance!
