Weekend Getaways in Beijing Suburbs | 2 million tulips reach their peak beauty

Spend a weekend quietly stealing away the romance of April in Shunyi—watch 2 million tulips blaze into a "rainbow," wait for the thousand-meter cherry blossom avenue to drift with "pink snow," take a stroll through the thousand-acre pear orchard "Fragrant Snow Sea," with your clothes touched by fresh sweetness, walk slowly on the grassy slope of the Han Dynasty canal transport, slip into the self-opening and closing "Shell Book House" to read a few lines of poetry... What's left are endless delicious foods, endless hot springs to soak in, and endless garden courtyards to stay in. Two days, no rushing, only chasing flowers.

DAY 1

Beijing Wenyuhe Park · Memories of the Ancient City → Magnet → Shine Hills → ParkSide → Xiangzhu · Banshan Yaji Homestay / Howard Johnson Junhe Hot Springs Resort Beijing / Ryllnwon Resort & Spa

Beijing Wenyuhe Park · Memories of the Ancient City

The journey begins at Beijing Wenyuhe Park · Memories of the Ancient City, walking slowly by the water, tree shadows gently swaying on your shoulders, the wind carrying the scent of fresh grass.

The traces of Han Dynasty canal transport lie hidden beneath the grassy slope at your feet, like opening an ancient book soaked in time, each page shimmering with the light of old water ripples.

Spring outing is also a step into a quiet past. This "archaeological" style spring trip gains you not only scenery but also a gentle heartbeat brushing past history.

The book house features an automatic open-and-close design; when opened, it faces the block providing an open reading space; when closed, it forms a quiet and independent reading environment, with bookshelves naturally integrated with the reading space.

Apart from the "Shell Book House," the block also features sound interactive installations, a podcast reading space, and multiple art exhibition pavilions. Visitors can participate through various ways such as "listening, watching, and reading." During the event, the town also hosts several themed talks, gathering cultural celebrities like poets Li Suo and Yu Xiuhua.
