Where is a good place to enjoy flowers in Beijing in spring?
Thirty-two years ago, tanaka kakuei, then Japanese Prime Minister, visited China with 1 000 Japanese cherry trees, of which 1 80 were planted in yuyuantan park, southeast of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Today, the cherry blossom garden here is the largest in northern China. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short, only seven days from flowering to withering, and it only takes about two weeks for the whole cherry tree to bloom to wither completely. Now the petals of cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky, poetic and beautiful. The 20th Cherry Blossom Culture Exhibition was held in yuyuantan park from March 22nd to the end of April.
Best flower viewing time: March 22nd-the end of April.

Magnolia in the Academy has a long-standing reputation, and its appearance, color and fragrance are the best in Beijing. There is a magnolia tree in Siyitang Temple, with large flowers and clean fragrance. It is said that this flower originated in Sichuan. During the Qianlong period, Jialing, the abbot of the temple, died in Sichuan, leaving a will to move the flower to the capital. I came to Beijing with a coffin and planted it here. This tree is more than 300 years old and is the best of all magnolia trees. Scholars here call it "the ancient temple orchid". Because it is located in the mountainous area, the magnolia period in the temple is generally ten days later than that in the urban area. Generally open in early April, the flowering period is about one week. If it is sunny, the flowering period will be extended for several days. When the flowers bloom, the trees are crystal clear, the flowers are big and fragrant, and the flowers are fresh but not bright.
The best flower viewing time: April 2-April 9.

Lilacs are small, clustered, white and purple, usually divided into four petals, and taste bitter and fragrant. When flowers bloom, especially at night, the fragrance of flowers floats far away, which makes people crazy.
Lilac is one of the "three wonders of Fayuan Temple" in Fayuan Temple. There are lilacs in the vestibule and backyard of the temple, which are not only numerous, but also different in variety and color. In addition to North China lilacs and their varieties of white lilacs, which originated in China, there are also foreign lilacs brought back from Maluku Islands in Nanyang when Zheng He went to the West.
