It's said that in spring, there's nothing to do but to be busy with flowers.
In Beijing, you must go see the tulips in Zhongshan Park.
Compared to the Botanical Garden, the tulips bloom under the blue sky,
Here, the tulips sway vividly under ancient cypresses and red walls with golden tiles.

When the sunlight filters through the leaves and falls on the tulip petals,
The tulips look like glowing beings, ethereal and floating.

Beijing Zhongshan Park is on the west side of Tiananmen Square, south of the Forbidden City, next to Tiananmen Square. Many cities in China have Zhongshan Park. Similarly, Beijing has set up Zhongshan Park in honor of Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
The Peony Flower Show in Zhongshan Park is a must-have reason to check in every year, but these years have undoubtedly been topped by tulips. Visitors whether from the west gate or the south gate into the park, the first to see is colorful tulips, I have to admit that although tulip flowers still lack the graceful and magnificent temperament of peony flowers, the colorful and upright color can be more loved by modern people...
Zhongshan Park is located in the south of the Forbidden City in the center of Beijing, on the west side of Tiananmen Square, separated by a wall from the Forbidden City. It covers an area of 230,000 square meters and is a memorial classical temple garden. It was originally a social altar in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and along with the Tai Temple (now the Cultural Palace of the Working People) has been built in the ritual system of the "Zuozu Youshe" since the Zhou Dynasty. The main building of the park is located in the center of the axis, and the altar is square, a three-story platform made of Han white jade. The altar is paved with five-color soil from all over the country, yellow, Dongqing, southern red, western white, north black, to indicate "under the sky, is not king earth" meaning, and symbolize soil, wood, fire, gold, water five lines. The original square stone pillar in the center of the Tantai, named "the main stone", also known as "Jiangshan Stone", to show "Jiangshan Yonggu". The altar is surrounded by four-color glazed walls, east blue, south red, west white, north black, and all sides of the Han white jade star gate, especially solemn. The "Bay Palace" in the north of the altar, also known as the temple or altar, is a grand wooden structure building, 5 wide, 3 deep, yellow glazed tiles, single-paneled palace roof, white stone platform foundation, no ceiling. Ming dew beams and arches, painting and painting. This is the most complete Ming Dynasty building. In 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen was parked in this hall. He received condolences from people from all walks of life. In 1928, he was proposed by the then special mayor of Beiping, Feng Yuxiang, and other patriots, and presided over the renaming of Zhongshan Hall. There are 72 gold-plated iron anvils on both sides of the back door of the hall, so it is called anus. When the eight-country coalition invaded Beijing, all the iron anvils were taken away. In the southwest of the Shenantan Temple, there are auxiliary buildings such as Shenchu, Shenku, and Eid al-Saudi Pavilion. The Evergreen Garden is located on the east side of the Shelutan, with rockery, flower sheds, flower beds and bonsai in the garden. In this area, it is dotted with scenic spots such as pine and cypress Jiaoting, Touching Pavilion, and Yujin Yuxuan; Tanghuawu in the west is a greenhouse flower house for cultivating various precious flowers and trees. It is best to go to Zhongshan Park by bus, take the bus No. 1 or 5 east to west, or take the subway line 1 and get off at Tiananmen West and walk east.
The Shezhu Temple in Zhongshan Park in Beijing is opposite to the Tai Temple, located on the left and right of Tiananmen Square, reflecting the design principle of the imperial capital of "Zuozu Youshe". The temple of the society built with five colors of soil contains the ancient people's worship of the land, five colors of soil, handed in by Nagong from all over the country to show the meaning of "under the sky, is not king earth". The temple of the society is the symbol of the ancient emperor Jiangshan community. Five-color soil refers to the pure natural soil of green, red, yellow, white and black.
Tanghuawu is northwest of the south gate of Zhongshan Park in Beijing. The plane is swallow-winged and is a greenhouse flower house. Tanghuawu uses ethnic forms of color painting and tile roof, and the front is decorated with glass windows for lighting. The east and west ends are the entrance and exit. A large fountain is set up in the middle. The center of the pool is planted with a culvert stone that is more than 2 meters high and is produced in the deep valley of Xiling, Yixian County. The goldfish is stored in the pool. There are various kinds of expensive flowers in the flower dock, and special flower exhibitions are held in time for visitors to watch.
There are too many places in the country called Zhongshan Park, and I have not been to Beijing so many times. I have not been to Beijing's Zhongshan Park for a stroll. This time I just borrowed it. When the spring blossoms, it also happened to be a big time. I went to Zhongshan Park in Beijing to visit here. If you want to come to Zhongshan Park to go out, one thing is very important, that is, you must make an appointment one day in advance. This is not accepted for the day's appointment, but if you make an appointment in Tiananmen Square, you can buy tickets on the spot. The area of Zhongshan Park is quite large, and all kinds of plants and buildings inside are worth punching in, but in spring we should shoot flowers. There are many types of flowers in Zhongshan Park that are worth taking pictures. One type is magnolia flower. There is a very large magnolia in front of the pavilion for everyone to take pictures. The other type is plum blossoms. Every March is the season of plum blossoms in Zhongshan Park. Of course, there is also a category of Zhongshan Park, the most worth recommending to everyone is tulips, but the bloom of tulips will wait until April, and you may not see it in March.
On March 31, Tiananmen West B exit was very close. You had to park near the National Grand Theatre on a small yellow car because the road was closed. Tulips didn't open much, some were still seedlings, and there were not many people inside. It is most suitable to go around April 10.
