Chasing Flowers Diary: In the bright and beautiful spring, I search for a map of pear blossoms in Beijing
Pear blossoms melt in the courtyard under the moonlight, while the gentle breeze carries the willow fluff over the pond.
I continue to laboriously update the major photography spots in Beijing according to the categories of flowers. This article is about the 'white moonlight' in the eyes of the ancients - pear blossoms. Like apricot blossoms, they are also delicate beauties with a blooming period of about a week. A gust of wind can blow them away, but if you manage to capture them in the wind, congratulations, you will see what is called 'pear blossoms like falling snow'. Cherish and capture these moments.
I have been taking photos for so many years and still haven't captured all the pear blossoms on the Beijing map, for reasons mentioned above👆
Here are the ones I've photographed:
📍Forbidden City p2-5: The bricks and tiles of the Forbidden City match perfectly with spring.
Bloom: 4.3
Address: Walk 1.1 km from Exit B of the Jinyu Hutong Station on Line 8, 🎫¥60, book tickets seven days in advance, if you want to go, you have to be quick
Let me talk about the distribution of pear blossoms:
1⃣️In the Shoukang Palace, there is one tree on each side, east and west, but the blossoms are not as good as in previous years, I wonder how they will be this year
2⃣️The Chengqian Palace, which has been closed for many years due to repairs, I wonder if I will ever get to photograph it in my lifetime
📍Grand View Garden p6-7: Ancient green buildings paired with pear blossoms
Bloom: 4.14
Address: Exit D of Xitieying Station on Metro Line 14, walk 1.2 km
Pear blossoms are in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where sister Daiyu lived. There is a particularly tall pear tree in front of the courtyard, and a few more scattered around the yard. Unfortunately, they were a bit fallen when I went, but it doesn't affect the Grand View Garden's delicate no.1 in my heart
📍Temple of Heaven p8-11: The pear trees in the Temple of Heaven are said to be 'Du' pears, but I don't understand the difference between 'Du' pear trees and regular pear trees. Does anyone know?
Bloom: 4.17
Address: Near the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven, the ancient pear trees are very beautiful, but they are quite far away and can only be admired from a distance, near the Zhaisheng Pavilion at the East Gate, directly accessible by Metro Line 5
The above are the ones I've photographed, those I haven't include:
📍Zhihua Temple's pear blossoms should be the ancient temple's ceiling, but unfortunately, I only caught the crabapple blossoms at Zhihua Temple
📍Tuancheng: Has white lilacs, white crabapples, and white pears, the so-called 'Three Whites of Tuancheng'
📍Daxing Pear Blossom Village, with thousands of acres of pear orchards, but the transportation is very poor
If my friends want to see more collections of flower photography, let me know and I will slowly update them
Grand View Garden has different scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can enjoy the dream of the Red Building, and you can also find the shooting place of Zhen Xu. It is worth exploring many times, looking for flowers and snow to read poetry, remembering the characters in famous films and televisions, and having a happy heart.
40 yuan tickets compared to the big park with 10 yuan tickets such as Beihai Sugar and Heyuan, or compared the Zizhuyuan without money and the Jingshan with 2 yuan. If it weren't close, I would not choose this shot. Although the building and scenery are red and willow green, I always feel that's the case.
We entered the park as soon as we opened the door at 7:30 in the morning. There were very few tourists and we could experience the scenery in the park very well. After two hours, the whole yard was gone, and the tourists were already weaving when they went out.
The attractions are still very good for senior red fans. There are lamp riddles inside, and there are different performances at different times. It is also an unexpected joy to watch a Kunqu Garden Tour!
The second time I came to the Grand View Garden, I prefer to read the dream of Red Mansions. I want to deepen my impression of characters and storylines through the Grand View Garden. I can also sort out the relationship between the characters of Jia, Wang, Shi, and the four families of Yuan, as well as understand the life experience and final destination of Jinling 12 Yuan. The scenery in the courtyard is beautiful, the area is not large, you can bring the elderly and children to play,
I went to the New Year. I mainly didn’t want to go to places with many people. I didn’t want to crowd people. The Grand View Garden was okay. There were not many people. There were performances in the Provincial Villa. There were more crowds. Yihongyuan, Xiaoxiang Hall, and you can go.
