Grand View Garden

This felt like a smaller park but it was really nice! I love anything with a pond or body of water. We went in November or December and it was still wonderful. Luckily it is only very cold in Beijing for a couple months so you can explore freely most of the year and even in the winter it isn’t too cold. This park is closer to the west side of the side, turned right into the bottom corner of the city canal. Like most things in the city it’s easy to get to, a subway stop is right next to it and we had no problems getting in from there. You wouldn’t even need to put aside a whole day for this park, go later in the day then go and grab dinner after.

Soooo many flowers! Definitely go in the spring but be prepared for a bit of a crowd as every grandma in Beijing is out trying to get her flower pictures as well. Still such a good time and I’d give the same advice as always, if you wait a second you will get the chance to take your people free photos. The park is on the edge of the forbidden city but I wouldn’t recommend both in one day, the park isn’t that large but the forbidden city deserves its own day. You could visit Tianamen Square after though, if you start at the top and come out the other side you would come out near Tiananmen. Even if you just do the park it’s lovely and you should get enough pictures to not feel too bad about not checking out anything else that day!

😊🌞🕰️ On the first day of March, I took a leisurely stroll in the Grand View Garden in the afternoon. The area where the Grand View Garden is located was a royal vegetable garden during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 1984, the garden was redesigned according to the Grand View Garden described in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', to serve as a filming location for the 1987 TV adaptation. 🍃🏞️😊 😊📺🏯 There are two main filming locations for the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber': one is the Grand View Garden in Beijing, and the other is Ning Rong Street in Zhengding. Ning Rong Street was also specially built for the filming of the 1987 'Dream of the Red Chamber' as a group of ancient-style buildings, serving as the setting for the Ningguo and Rongguo mansions. It has played a significant role in the economic development of Zhengding. 🎬👣😊 😊🚪🌆 The entrance fee for the Grand View Garden is 40 yuan, making it the most expensive free attraction included in the Beijing Park Annual Pass. Visiting the Grand View Garden three times a year makes the annual pass worthwhile. Today, I also stumbled upon a volunteer service market on Baizhifang Street in the small square, which was bustling with many people. At first, I thought it was the continuation of the Red Chamber Temple Fair. 🎉😃😊 😊👥🎉 The Grand View Garden is not very large in size; if you're just looking at the scenery, half an hour is enough to take a tour. Many people find the ticket price not worth it because of the small area and limited scenery. However, if you reminisce about specific episodes from 'Dream of the Red Chamber' while wandering through the corresponding courtyards or carefully observing the details, you will remember the stories and classic dialogues that took place at each site, and analyze the character traits of the related characters. In that case, it would take at least half a day to complete the tour, and you would definitely find it very rewarding. 📚🌿😊 😊📚🌿 Many courtyards in the Grand View Garden attract tourists, such as the Yihong Courtyard where Jia Baoyu lived, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Lin Daiyu lived, and the Hengwu Garden where Xue Baochai lived. The stories that take place in these locations are the most numerous in the novel, and many tourists specially dress in ancient costumes to take photos there. In addition, the largest architectural complex in the Grand View Garden is probably the Provincial Relatives' Villa. This place has been turned into the 'Red Chamber Culture and Art Museum', with the main hall and the side halls serving as exhibition rooms. The Grand View Tower behind the main hall also has exhibitions related to the culture of the Red Chamber, and the content is quite rich. 🏛️🖼️😊 😊🏛️🖼️ Today, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the second floor of the Grand View Tower is now open for visitors. Previously, access to the upper floors was blocked, but now you can go up to enjoy the view and visit the exhibition rooms. Currently, only the Cui Bi Mountain Villa on the west side of the Provincial Relatives' Villa in the Grand View Garden remains closed, and all other places are open. 🔓🌳😊 😊🔓🌳 The afternoon sun is bright and although the temperature has not fully warmed up, the willow branches in the garden have started to turn green, and the lake has completely thawed. The blue lake water reflects the shadows of trees and ancient-style buildings in the garden, a large group of ducks swim freely on the water, and geese march in a row along the lakeshore, adding to the increasingly strong sense of spring. In the Lü Cui An north of the Yihong Courtyard, a tree of wax plum with full yellow blossoms attracts countless tourists to take photos. After all, this should be the only flower shadow in the entire Grand View Garden at this time. 🌼📷😊

Beijing's Grand View Garden recreates various scenes from Cao Xueqin's 'Dream of the Red Chamber' in the Grand View Garden. Hsiao-hsiang Lodge was Lin Daiyu's residence in the Grand View Garden. She chose it herself because she 'loved the few bamboo poles there, hidden by a winding balustrade, which seemed even more secluded than other places'. Daiyu spent her life here accompanied by bamboo, poetry, melancholy, solitude, and tears. The Hsiao-hsiang Lodge is most famous for its bamboo, 'with phoenix tails lush and dragon chants subtle, surrounded by a ring of verdant bamboo'. Jia Baoyu once inscribed: Presence of the Phoenix The bamboo is noble and refined, with scholarly elegance, and its reserve reveals vitality. Daiyu's poetic name, 'Lady of Hsiao-hsiang', embodies such an aristocratic and natural detachment, graceful and charming allure. In my opinion: The spotted bamboo also symbolizes the dripping of tears, and the words 'Hsiao-hsiang' further signify endless tears. Daiyu's residence in the Hsiao-hsiang Lodge also metaphorically represents her life of melancholy and sorrow.

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
