Winter is very long in the northern region where I am living, and the natural landscape turns black and white as the greenery is completely gone under the freezing cold of the Northern Hemisphere. Beijing is located in such a region, and the coldest month's daytime temperature remains around -10 degrees; nighttime temperatures can reach 20 degrees, according to my personal experience. There are many natural scenic places in Beijing, and most of them are well-organised, which has attracted me a lot with the incredible work that goes into them. Initially, I thought the city centre was well-organised, with numerous parks and scenic spots. But I was amazed when I visited a nearby park area in my living area, which has been recently opened as a city park with the goal of making more forestland in the Beijing municipality.
The area I live in is a beautiful place with green lushes, and so all of the parks and natural scenic areas are located in the surrounding area, with some rivers also. Most winter days are now very bright and have excellent air quality nowadays to enjoy the natural beauty here. But often the extreme cold and unfavourable weather kept me in the room. I took a short trip outdoors: a great walk in the nearby forest park in the surrounding side of the Qihe River. I have enjoyed its beauty in the winter, when it has become a completely unknown place for me, as the greenery is completely gone from here.
The natural beauty lies in its new look in winter, but I think it would be better if this area were completely covered with dried brown grasses. The same colour is seen everywhere, enhanced by the bright sun in the sky, making it even more beautiful against the deep blue sky. It is a great time, with enough light in the weather to make exploring the park's natural surroundings stunning.
The entry road of the park decorated with beautiful signboards telling about the importance of the forest lands and some other things i guess as it was written in Chinese. The row of trees is attractive as it is properly organised park. I can find the finest touch almost everywhere to make the views more beautiful. The natural surroundings are also very clean, with good weather and excellent air quality, making the park a great place for a n afternoon walking.
The views are not vibrant green here, as not all the trees have leaves, except for some trees with leaves, which are not deep in colour due to excessive cold weather here. The color is faded, like dried grasses, bare branches, and empty trees, creating amazing scenery against the deep blue sky, making them truly a different one.
In winter it needs extra care for these trees in the park and so I truly admire such work by the city authority to make the city a great place to live in by making such beautiful park everywhere throughout the city.
It is always a great opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of such scenic parks and natural spots near my living area. I have enjoyed my exploration of this area, and it filled my heart with pure beauty and soothing oxygen and I will keep exploring in this beautiful natural scenic area to discover more exciting places in the surrounding area in the coming days.
I hope you enjoy my photos of the beautiful views of the winter natural surroundings in the forest park of the Qihe riverside area near my living place, and the natural scenes in the winter time. As the weather was so good for a greater look, the winter nature has its own charm, and I have enjoyed that charm in my own way. The fresh and clear look of the winter nature differs from the summer or the spring time, but it provides the same level of healing power for making our busy weeks more relaxing and purifying our hearts with renewed stamina to start a new week. If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them as much as I can.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wishing you a good day!
I took all the photos, and these are my own property.
