Beijing's Flower Viewing Paradise | Step into a Real-Life Peach Blossom Paradise

| Step into a Real-Life Peach Blossom Paradise. The romantic flowering trees hidden in Sanlihe Park have amazed me throughout spring! 🌸Park Introduction🌸 Beijing Sanlihe Park is located near the intersection of Nanlucaoyuan Hutong and Qunzhi Hutong in Dongcheng District, close to Qianmen Street, making it very accessible. The park stretches about 900m and restored the ancient Sanlihe water system in 2016, bringing back the beautiful scenery of "water flowing through streets around Qianmen." 🌸Historical Evolution🌸 This area was once a drainage channel for the outer city moat during the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the water was abundant, and theaters and guild halls were built along the waterway, giving it a charm similar to that of a Jiangnan water town. However, by the late Ming Dynasty, the moat's water decreased and the drainage ditches dried up. During the Qing Dynasty, with the commercial development of Qianmen and population growth, it became a sewage ditch, and after liberation, it was converted into a drainage system. Today's Sanlihe Park has been transformed and restored from its original foundation into a poetic urban landscape. 🌸Scenic Features🌸 The winding waterway is home to koi fish, black swans, and ducks, adding vitality and liveliness to the scene. Along the waterway, you'll find traditional wooden bridges and peach blossom corridors. Weeping willows line both banks, complementing the blooming peach blossoms to create a stunning spring landscape. Along the banks, you'll find small establishments like Spring Breeze Cafe and Qingyun 23 Lan Tea House, perfect spots for a rest. Even on weekdays, many people come to enjoy the peach blossoms, yet it remains peaceful, allowing for an immersive experience of this beauty. It's especially serene at night, offering a quiet retreat from the bustling city. 🌸Travel Tips🌸 The peach blossom season at Sanlihe Park is relatively short, so hurry if you don't want to miss this brief but brilliant spring romance! The blue hour is around 18:30-19:00 after sunset, and Spring Breeze Cafe operates until around 18:00. If you want to capture the beautiful scene of blue hour with warm yellow lights illuminating the peach blossoms, make sure to plan your timing carefully! 🌸Transportation🌸 🚇Public Transport: Take the subway to Qiaowan Station on Line 7 or Qianmen Station on Line 2 and Line 8.
