This year, the spring flowers are blooming 1-2 weeks earlier than last year. The winter jasmines in many Beijing attractions have started to bloom. The best viewing period is expected to be from early to the end of March.
Beihai Park
In the early spring days when the weather is still cold, the winter jasmines in Beihai Park are blooming quietly, delighting visitors with a surprise for the season. Inside the park and beside the road leading to the Western Paradise, several clusters of forsythia are blooming vibrantly. The golden dots of these flowers contrast beautifully with the red walls, ushering in the prelude to the spring flower season.
Yuanmingyuan Park
The weather has been fine recently, and the willow branches in Yuanmingyuan Park are green and the winter jasmine flowers have started to bloom. These small and exquisite golden yellow flowers look particularly brilliant and dazzling in the sunlight and against the clear surrounding waters. Wild ducks and mandarin ducks in the park fool around in the water while looking for food, creating a poetic image of spring.
Qingfeng Park
In the bustling central business district lies a hidden paradise of tranquility: Qingfeng Park, which many consider as a hidden gem of the city. Built along the river, Qingfeng Park is home to many ancient buildings, such as the Shenmu Yaobei and the Tonghui River Second Gate. This is where legend says Cao Xueqin, a Chinese novelist and poet during the Qing Dynasty, had a tea party with his friends, which adds a touch of culture to the park scenery. The forsythia flowers in the garden are in full bloom. Together with the flowering river water, they offer an aromatherapy experience for all visitors.
Taoranting Park
Recently, people online said that the winter jasmines in Taoranting Park have started to bloom, signally the arrival of spring with their little golden flowers. The Banished Immortal Pavilion Scenic Area and the east side of the Shengchun Mountain House Scenic Area are the best viewing spots. When the flowering season arrives, jasmine blossoms fill the place with brilliant golden dots. Hanging on strange rock formations and stretching along the quiet lakeside, these bright and beautiful flowers are ready to delight everyone with the stunning colors of spring.
The Summer Palace
Winter jasmines are planted in many places in the Summer Palace, including the Ziqidonglai City Gate, North and South Terraces of Renshou Hall, Nanhu Island, Farming and Weaving Map, and Changguan Hall. Every year, these flowers announce the arrival of spring with their wonderful colors. When the flowers are in full bloom, they cascade down trees like waterfalls with strings of goose-yellow flowers hanging from drooping branches. Immerse yourself in these splashes of gold as you stroll through the garden.
