[2025 Beijing Stay] Travel Guide for Fragrant Hill Hotel (Updated Jun)

🌟🌟🌟 A must-collection for ginkgo viewing in Beijing in autumn‼ ️ ❶Dongzhimenwai Street Last year, I went to the Embassy District as my first stop to see ginkgo trees. When I first came to Beijing, I was strongly recommended by my friends to see the autumn colors in the Embassy District. Finally, I saw it in the autumn of the second year. The "even beauty" of Dongzhimenwai Street, the interweaving of ginkgo trees and sycamore trees, must be experienced by those who have not been there. ❷Sanlitun East Fifth Street The Ginkgo biloba on East Fifth Street in Sanlitun is an old internet celebrity. I went there twice last fall. I went there once before the Ginkgo Yellow Street opened (Picture 3). I was not allowed to enter, so I could only take a glance at the street intersection, but it was already very shocking. I went there again when the leaves were falling (Picture 4). A gust of wind blew by, and the fallen leaves of the ginkgo were like rain. What followed was a series of exclamations. Friends who have time suggest that each stage be arranged. ❸Forbidden City Needless to say more about the Forbidden City! A must-visit series in your lifetime. Be sure to check in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has its own benefits. ❹Zhongshan Park Zhongshan Park in autumn, like the Forbidden City, must be overcrowded, but it is really worth the squeeze because the ginkgo trees are so beautiful. Compared with the Forbidden City, the red wall ginkgo in Zhongshan Park is more friendly. You don’t need to bring a stool to take a close photo with the red wall ginkgo. ❺Dongba Country Park The charm of the ginkgo forest is vividly displayed here. Ginkgo trees stand in straight rows. Walking on the path among the ginkgo trees, you will be greeted by the golden autumn colors. ❻Chaoyang Park If I were to choose a niche treasure spot for ginkgo viewing, I would definitely vote for Chaoyang Park. I came across a ginkgo tree while wandering around last year. After posting my notes, it instantly became popular. I saw many big bloggers checking in. My wife felt so accomplished. ❼Xiangshan Hotel There are only two century-old ginkgo trees in Xiangshan Hotel, but they are enough for people to go to the West Fifth Ring Road to see them. Two trees, one female and one male, stand on the left and right fronts of the lake. Looking through the windows of the Chinese-style building, the autumn colors are picturesque and beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️ Where is the most beautiful ginkgo forest in your opinion? Is there any other stunning ginkgo viewing place that I haven’t been to? Recommend it to me quickly

🚶‍♂🗺 Today, after descending from Xianglu Peak, I took the South Route, walking along the outer wall of Jingyi Garden around the entire valley to visit Qingweiliao above Jingcui Lake. 🚶‍♀🌄 🏛📜 Qingweiliao was built in the 10th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1745) and is one of the Twenty-Eight Scenic Spots of Jingyi Garden. It belongs to the inner garden landscape, situated in the functional area where the emperor worked, studied, worshipped Buddha, and rested. 📜👑 🏞🏯 Qingweiliao is located on the mountaintop south of Jingcui Lake, on the easternmost protruding ridge of the southern mountains. It is a five-bay open pavilion with a hip-and-gable roof and a surrounding corridor. The eaves bear a plaque inscribed by Emperor Qianlong with the words "Qingweiliao." 🏯🖌 👀🌄 The view here is exceptionally expansive—overlooking Jingcui Lake and the Xulangzhai Palace on the opposite shore, gazing up at Xianglu Peak and Xiangshan Temple, looking north toward Zhaomiao and Biyun Temple, and even catching a distant glimpse of Yuquan Mountain and the Summer Palace to the east. 🌅🏰 🏔🖼 Standing at Qingweiliao, one can admire the lush green peaks stretching endlessly, evoking the majestic feeling of "ascending the summit and dwarfing all other mountains." Perhaps this is why Emperor Qianlong was inspired by Du Fu's famous poem "Gazing on Mount Tai" and named the spot after its line, "How splendid is Mount Tai? Its green expanse stretches endlessly through Qi and Lu," symbolizing the boundless, verdant mountain scenery. 🖼📜 🎨🖌 The open pavilion is exquisitely crafted, with beams, rafters, and lintels adorned with mid-Qing dynasty golden-line cloud and autumn wood Su-style paintings, featuring floral, avian, and narrative motifs in an elegant style typical of imperial garden architecture, showcasing immense artistic value. 🖌🎭 🏞🏰 From the pavilion, looking left to right: Xiangshan Temple and the opposite Toad Peak are also among the Twenty-Eight Scenic Spots of Jingyi Garden. The full view of Xiangshan Temple is unobstructed, and the Liuxi Pavilion atop Toad Peak is clearly visible. The white complex straight ahead is the Fragrant Hills Hotel, built on the ruins of Xulangzhai Palace. Raising your gaze, Xianglu Peak is unmistakable with its Chongyang Pavilion at the summit. Zhaomiao and the Glazed Pagoda, landmarks of the Fragrant Hills, are also visible. The majestic Diamond Throne Pagoda of Biyun Temple—one of Beijing’s four remaining and the tallest in China—stands imposingly. 🏰🗼 🍁📸 In autumn, Qingweiliao, situated at the edge of the red-leaf forest, offers both a "bird's-eye view of the crimson sea" and "up-close leaf appreciation." Ascending the stone steps along Jingcui Lake’s eastern shore, visitors can walk through the red foliage and take in the panoramic view of the southern hills’ vast maple woods. Many classic Fragrant Hills autumn photos are taken here, making it one of the top five red-leaf viewing spots. 📸🍁 📜🖋 Emperor Qianlong composed poems and prefaces for each of Jingyi Garden’s Twenty-Eight Scenic Spots. The preface to "Qingweiliao" reads: "The southern ridge, a separate peak, forms the right arm of the palace gate. Lush green peaks fill the view, with villages and fields stretching endlessly. Yuquan Mountain appears like an ink dot, and the capital’s trees are faintly discernible. One need not climb Mount Tai or gaze upon Qi to grasp Du Fu’s poetic vision." The poem says: "A fist-sized rock rivals the deepest green, matching the boundless hues. Rivers and woods stretch beyond sight, clouds and trees endless. Recalling Bai Juyi’s retreat, its worth beckons distant minds. Ascending to the summit, one need not fear the rugged path." 🖋📜 👑📚 In the preface, Emperor Qianlong first describes Qingweiliao’s natural scenery, explains its poetic naming, and subtly conveys his imperial sentiment—expressing love for nature and confidence in cultural heritage. The poem echoes Du Fu’s "boundless green" grandeur while alluding to Bai Juyi’s later years in Luoyang’s Fragrant Hills, where he formed the "Nine Elders Society." It contrasts the perilous Shu roads with the Fragrant Hills’ accessibility, metaphorically reflecting the emperor’s composed governance and sovereign dignity. 📚👑 🔥🏚 In 1860, Jingyi Garden was burned by Anglo-French forces, and Qingweiliao was reduced to ruins. Only its foundation remained until 2015, when Xiangshan Park restored it to its original glory. 🏚🔧 🏛🌳 "Qingweiliao" is not only an outstanding example of Qing imperial gardens but also a perfect fusion of Chinese tradition and natural landscapes. It carries rich historical and cultural heritage, serving as vital material for studying Qing dynasty imperial architecture and culture. 🌳📚

🌟Dear friends, today I want to share with you a very special hotel - Beijing Xiangshan Hotel . 📜History: Xiangshan Hotel was built in 1982 and designed by the internationally renowned architect I.M. Pei. It combines classical Chinese architectural art with modern architectural techniques, marking an important milestone in the history of Chinese architecture. . 📍Location: The hotel is located within Beijing Xiangshan Park, built against the mountain, with a tranquil environment and beautiful natural scenery around. Here, you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest and conveniently visit the famous scenic spots of Xiangshan. . 🏞Garden Design: It must be said that the garden design of Xiangshan Hotel is absolutely stunning. It is based on the gardens of Jiangnan, cleverly using elements such as rockeries, ponds, and flowers and trees to create a secluded and winding path ambiance. Walking through it feels like being in a beautiful landscape painting. . 🌸I especially love the 'Plum Blossom Windows' here. The unique shape and beautiful lines, through the windows, the outside scenery looks like it has been carefully trimmed, giving it a unique charm. Each plum blossom window is like a carefully designed picture frame, framing the beauty of the four seasons within.

🍁 Autumn at Xiangshan Hotel It deserves two notes of praise. Designed by architect I.M. Pei Every brick and tile in the hotel carries a story Every blade of grass and every tree is a landscape Through the Chinese windows Oriental charm is fully displayed You must go in autumn 🌟🌟🌟 📍Xiangshan Hotel 💰10 yuan/person (Xiangshan Park ticket) 📅Photo taken on 2023.11.6 📷Canon 5d4➕Fuji xt5 💟Xiangshan Hotel is located in the Xiangshan Park scenic area. You need to buy a ticket to Xiangshan Park to enter from the east gate. Those who have an annual pass for the park do not need to buy a ticket. 💟It is said that you need to buy a ticket, but I always take a taxi directly to Xiangshan Hotel. There is no ticket inspection. The security guard at the entrance of the parking lot will ask you why you are going in. If you tell him you are going to the hotel, he will let you in. 💟The ginkgo tree on the left side of Xiangshan Hotel has turned yellow and even started to become bald, while the one on the right side is still mostly yellow-green, as if the two trees have different rhythms. Last year, one tree was completely yellow, while the other had completely lost all its leaves. 💟The temperature has dropped recently. It is really cold in Xiangshan Hotel. There is no sunshine after 3:30, so please keep warm.
