It will not be exaggerated that Beijing is a city of scenic parks, and many of them will take you to the old history of more than a thousand years ago as they have over a thousand years old trees there. Most of them are really fascinating, with large lakes like in the summer palace or Beihai Park, or some water bodies throughout the whole park such as the Yuyuan Ming Park, the Olympic Forest Park and so on. I have visited over a dozen of them and still have many on the list. The Beihai Park has some of the most beautiful scenery in the middle of Beijing other parks are located surrounding the whole municipality. After Olympic Forest Park, it's the biggest park in the part of the city centre. The last time when I visited it, I found it the most lively one among some others, such as Chaoyang Park and Jingshan Park, as they are smaller in size.
After the long winter, spring has already come to Beijing, and cherry blossoms are also gone in most of the places, but the fresh beauty is still available here until the extreme hot after June. I went to Beihai Park to explore the natural beauty of downtown Beijing as I will start visiting some long distant scenic spots when days will be much longer in the coming months. I wanted to see some of the royal gardens and other scenic spots that I could enjoy the great weather and beautiful nature that surrounds the city. The park's history is also very rich from the dynasty age of China. The stunning pictures show how Chinese people plant in new ways and take care of nature by doing their best.
If I am not wrong, the most attractive part of Beihai Park is the large lake in the middle of the park, and the liveliness of the visitors is mostly explored on both sides of the immense lake. Especially the side where some preserved temple parts are preserved with eye-catching views of the temple's gorgeous appearance on the waterside. The beauty is overly congested in this part of the park. You can find a lot of people sitting on the waterside sitting benches, and many are taking photos here and there as this place is quite overcrowded.
The afternoon beauty is the most significant part of the park. This park has new life now as spring has come and gifted its essence to it. No matter where you go or what way you look, everything looks like nature's newborn babies surrounded by newly grown green lushes. The sky was a deep blue colour, and the sun was shining very brightly. The place is more appealing because it is close to nature but in the middle of the city. I feel more grounded when I explore nature, which makes my life easier and less stressful.
The water of the lake is now completely melted as in the winter it remains frozen like the other water bodies of the city. The yellow lamp by the water body area is lit on after a while, and they look astonishing, though the view will be more breathtaking after more darkness as the Chinese traditional structures with the colourful bamboo designs become so attractive due to their extreme brightness and colourful appearances at night after the evening. But I think the park is closed before night, and I haven't stayed there till the last as I needed to return to my dormitory as usual a little bit earlier to take the returning bus to my district Huairou, which is more than 50 km from the location.
Also, the part of the city by the edge of the huge lake becomes amazing as some area of the city is old Beijing and the later part is the modern Beijing city. Also, from the top of the mountain peak of the park, the larger view of the large Beijing City can be visible, but this view is not as beautiful as in the Jingshan park that I have visited this year already, and you can find them in my recent blogs.
In conclusion, Beihai Park is a wonderful Park for a tour during the spring and autumn seasons, when it is more lively and nature is at its most beautiful. The immense lake is a truly amazing time to explore with its beautiful surrounding with green lushes. I am very happy with the tour because it took me to the beautiful natural scenic part of the city that is perfectly adorned and gifted by nature to have a great time to relax myself from my stressful work life.
I hope you like my photos of the beautiful Beihai Park in the heart of Beijing City. The park will definitely soothe anyone's heart with its excellent beauty and natural serenity. The weather and the excellent air quality were also enjoyable, making great use of my weekend. 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 afford.
