Is Beijing Botanical Garden worth visiting?

Beijing Botanical Garden is very famous in Beijing. It's spring and flowers are in full bloom, so many friends will go to Beijing Botanical Garden to play. This small series will tell you what is interesting in Beijing Botanical Garden, and friends who don't know it will come and see it.

Yesterday's Chun Xue brought the temperature back to winter. Fortunately, on weekends, I can stay at home all day and enjoy the snowflakes flying outside the window, no matter how cold it is outside.

I read an article the other day, saying that many writers love and hate the spring in Beijing because the "spring neck" in Beijing is too short, which means that the spring in Beijing is very short.

Beijingers add a "neck" after "spring", vividly visualizing and familiarizing an abstract concept representing the season.

As a Beijinger, I love and hate the spring in Beijing.

I always thought I was a fat house girl. From a very young age, I hope that we humans are warm-blooded animals, so that we can curl up in the cave in the cold winter and sleep beautifully for a winter.

When bloom is warm in spring, wake up slowly, climb out of the cave and enjoy the warm days in the future.

Therefore, in winter, I generally refuse all kinds of long-distance travel, and honestly live a dull life of going home from work. Just one day, I suddenly felt that the wind blowing on my face was no longer cold and there was more sunshine than before. From a distance, the branches are not as dry as in winter, with a faint green color.

I know, spring is coming. The warm wind stirred my heart.

"Shall we go climbing this weekend?" Ask you.

"No, there are cockroaches, which are not suitable for strenuous sports such as mountaineering." He looked at the weather forecast and said.

"How's the weather this weekend? Can you go out? " By next week, I still can't stand it.

"It rained on Saturday. It seems that the weather is good and the temperature is not low on Sunday. Where do you want to go? " It seems that he has noticed the weather.

"Go to the reclining Buddha Temple!" I have a plan in mind.

"Why?"

"Enjoy wintersweet!"

Watching time

Festival time: from the end of March to the beginning of May.

In the early morning, the curtains are opened and the fog in the distance is still bright. It seems that Chun Xue has not purified the polluted air. But anyway, I have to travel today.

After driving more than 20 kilometers, we came to the gate of Beijing Botanical Garden. The cars in the parking lot stretch for several kilometers, which is why I don't like going out on weekends. Many cars, many people.

After tossing and turning for about half an hour, I finally parked my car in a repair shop.

I swept away my annual ticket and went into the garden. It was only because I couldn't find a parking space that my anxious heart slowly calmed down. Perhaps the garden is too big, with more than 4,000 people in it, and it is not crowded.

Walking arm in arm slowly on the path in the forest, the wind is still cool, but because of yesterday's snow, the air is wet, and the wind blowing on the face is also wet, which no longer makes people feel dry and cold.

Every time I come to the botanical garden, it's either early spring or late autumn. Never come in the season of bloom. Because there were so many people in the garden at that time, I didn't care about looking at flowers at all. On the contrary, in the off-season, although there is no bloom, there is another kind of quiet feeling, which makes people calm.

Walk past Cao Xueqin's former residence, Liang Qichao's tombstone, this garden and that garden. In fact, they haven't germinated yet, and I can't see what is planted in them.

Walking and taking pictures, the bones of all kinds of flowers are in bud, just waiting for the warm spring breeze to blow, and one by one will be scrambling to show their smiling faces.

Following the signpost, we soon arrived at the glazed archway of the reclining Buddha Temple. You need to buy a ticket twice to get in here.

As soon as I entered the gate, a faint fragrance came to my nose. From a distance, the yellow wintersweet is in full bloom. The yellow flowers are very beautiful against the red wall. People under the tree are taking pictures of their favorite plum blossoms in various poses. Because I've been here several times before and I've filmed several times, I just want to enjoy it quietly this time.

I found a sunny place and sat next to Chimonanthus praecox, letting the wind blow gently and bringing the fragrance of Chimonanthus praecox. Close your eyes, think nothing, say nothing, just sit quietly and smell faintly. I seem a little drunk.

It's good that spring has come. Everything is new.
