• Yuyuantan - For many, spring is the most enchanting season in Beijing, and enjoying the beauty of flowers is a must-do activity. Today, let’s explore the stunning magnolia and cherry blossoms.

Join your local guide and driver in the morning and head to Yuyuantan Park to admire the cherry blossoms and other floral displays. Located in Haidian District, Yuyuantan Park is a charming destination. Each spring, the park hosts a Cherry Blossom Festival. It’s best to visit on a weekday to avoid the crowds, as there are various vendors, children’s rides, and balloons for sale, which can attract many visitors.

A single cherry blossom typically lasts no more than 7 days, but don’t worry, the park boasts nearly 2,000 cherry trees and over 20 species, each blooming at slightly different times. Many of these trees were gifts from Japan when diplomatic relations were re-established in the 1970s.

• Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) - After enjoying a local lunch, proceed to the Summer Palace to admire the magnolia (Yulan) blossoms. Magnolia is an ancient genus native to central and eastern China. It was traditionally planted in the courtyards or open fields of the Emperor’s palaces, with its flowers symbolizing purity. While exploring the Summer Palace, the best-preserved imperial park, you can admire the numerous magnolia trees, visit the royal courtyard of the Qing Dynasty, and hear stories about Empress Dowager Cixi (Dragon Lady).
