⭐ From late March to early April every year, Baiwang Mountain becomes a popular weekend spot for spring outings. It's the closest to the city center and covered with wildflowers. Two weekends ago, when the mountain peach blossoms were at their peak, it was truly crowded with people. These days, although most of the peach and forsythia flowers have fallen, magnolias and forsythias are already blooming. I went for an off-peak hike this weekend and it felt pretty good. There were fewer people but still plenty of beautiful scenery, so everyone can keep going. ⭐ For the route, it’s recommended to take more of the small trails because the shaded areas in the mountain valleys still have mountain peach blossoms in full bloom. I chose a small loop starting and ending at the East Gate, mostly flat slopes suitable for all ages. You can refer to Map 2 for details, and I’ve marked the scenic spots along the way: 📌 Park East Gate —> 📌 Wangjing Tower (only walked a small section of the 351 Trail before turning back) —> 📌 261 Trail —> 📌 Tiancheng Lake —> 📌 282 Trail —> 📌 582 Trail —> 📌 Heishanhu Memorial Park —> 📌 Friendship Pavilion —> 📌 Park East Gate 📷 The two purple magnolias at the East Gate Stele Forest of Baiwang Mountain have already bloomed beautifully. If you arrive early, it’s perfect for empty shots and portraits. 📷 The mountain peach blossoms beside the glass plank road under Wangjing Tower are still blooming, with the mountains as a backdrop, great for photos. 📷 There are still a few peach blossoms along the plank road near Tiancheng Lake. 📷 Between the Tiancheng Lake suspension bridge and the park’s North Gate, there is an open area with a row of purple magnolias about to bloom. 📷 The peach blossoms are in full bloom from the 582 Trail to the Heishanhu Memorial Park area. 🎫 Ticket: 6 RMB, park annual pass accepted 🚗 Parking: There are parking lots at both the East and North Gates.
