[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Lianhuachi Park (Updated Feb)

There was no temple fair at Lotus Pool Park last year, but there is one this year. There is no entrance fee, but the scale is a bit small, mainly concentrated near the east gate. There are all kinds of food, and the prices are cheaper than other temple fairs. The stalls for shooting and ring toss are also very lively. Since you are here, you should eat and play! There was a lion dance performance on the stage today. It was freezing cold and windy today, and the lion dancers worked very hard. The audience was also very enthusiastic and kept cheering. It takes about two hours to play around the park. The water is not completely thawed, so there are no boats, only various birds showing off in the water. The children are very happy. If you live nearby, you can come and have fun.

The lotus flowers slowly reveal their beauty along the way, showing endless softness and elegance. It's a feast for the eyes! The hotel is also not far from the Century Altar, the Military Museum, and Yuyuantan Park! If you're interested in stewed pork, there's a small but long-established restaurant across the footbridge outside the west gate. It's delicious and highly recommended!

To see the conjoined lotus, I specially moved up my lotus-viewing plan: Indeed, I was not disappointed, I saw the conjoined lotus that was about to bloom, and there was one that had already bloomed; It was the weekend, and there were a lot of people, but fortunately, the area covered by the flowers was large, so the crowd was somewhat dispersed; The weather was very cooperative, the north wind was a bit cool, and it didn't feel hot; there were more varieties of lotus flowers this year than in previous years, and they were not affected by the rain, blooming just right; The lotus flowers in the pond had also bloomed, with many colors, very beautiful; besides the flower admirers, there were many people singing and exercising in the park, creating a great atmosphere; Friends who like lotus flowers, hurry up and take action.

Upright in character, not sprawling or branching, the fragrance is far-reaching and enhances the clarity, standing tall and pure. I alone love the lotus for rising out of the dirty mud unsoiled, washed by the pure water without becoming enchanting. (Song Dynasty·Zhou Dunyi·On the Love of the Lotus) Next to Beijing West Railway Station, Lianhuachi Park, with a summer rain, officially welcomes the blooming of the lotuses. The various lotuses in the square, lake, potted, and aquatic plants are blooming competitively, colorful and diverse.

Discovering another #springblossom moment in Beijing. This time I came to Lianhuachi Park, a beautiful park that is located in Fengtai District, Beijing. The park is not that huge, but it offers calming vibe for everyone who comes. It opens daily from 06.30 AM to 20.00 PM. And the entrance fee is free! How to get here: ✨Take Beijing subway stop at Lianhuaqiao station (exit C). ✨ Take Beijing public bus number 375 or 69 stop at Liuliqiao East bus stop. Then walk 5-6 minutes.

"It's rare to have leisure in springtime, and the most beautiful is the April days in the human world." April in Beijing is truly wonderful! The city's crabapples and cherry blossoms are all in bloom, and when the wind blows, it's a shower of flowers everywhere. The weather is also particularly comfortable, with sunshine but not scorching, and a gentle breeze that's not cold. I've discovered a hidden gem of a park and have come here for two days in a row, where the crabapples and cherry blossoms are mostly in full bloom, with branches hanging low, making it very suitable for portrait photography, and also especially fitting for picnics under the trees. The main thing is that it's not crowded, with hardly any tourists, and the 20-minute park theory can be fully verified here!

The late cherry blossoms are blooming~! Some of the best places to view late cherry blossoms in Beijing include Yuyuantan, Lianhuachi, and Sida Park. The late cherry blossoms in Lianhuachi Park are the best for photography. The forest area is large, and you can freely take photos of the vast sea of flowers. The trees are unpruned, with branches hanging from the canopy to the ground. The key is that you can enter the forest without any fences, which is very suitable for portrait photography!!! There are also significantly fewer people compared to Yuyuantan.

This Lotus Pond Park is also a garden with history. The east gate is right next to the south square of Beijing West Railway Station, and the park is open all year round with free admission. If you're heading to the West Station to catch a train and arrive early, why not sit here for a while? The park isn't very big and doesn't have any historic famous buildings, but there is a lake in the middle. In summer, you can go boating. Oops, I misspoke... In summer, "the wealthy" can go boating, as it's really expensive to do so here! A few ducks and mandarin ducks are swimming happily on the water, all looking forward to the arrival of spring!

Besides Yuyuantan❗️, there are many less crowded but equally stunning cherry blossom spots in Beijing! In the coming days, Beijing will enter the cherry blossom season🌸 Apart from the famous cherry blossom spot—Yuyuantan There are many hidden treasure spots for cherry blossom viewing in Beijing🗺️ ✅Lianhuachi Park 🔖: A large area of Japanese late-blooming cherry blossoms, predominantly rose-colored, with a very large number of flowers, resembling a cherry blossom🌸 waterfall 📍: No. 38 Middle West Third Ring Road, Fengtai District 🚇: Line 10 Lianhuaqiao Station 📅: Early April ✅Sihui Park 🔖: Two trees with very large crowns of double cherry blossoms, the pink and white flowers are stunning 📍: No. 9 Jiatai West Road, Chaoyang District 🚇: Line 14 Jiatai Station Exit B 📅: Early April ✅Xinghe Bay Ecological Park 🔖: A recently popular 🆓 cherry blossom viewing and check-in spot, although not as large as Yuyuantan, the scenery is also absolutely beautiful 📍: No. 6 Four Seasons Xinghe Road, Chaoyang North Road, Chaoyang District 🚇: Subway Line 6 Qingnian Road Station Exit B 📅: End of March - Early April ✅Subway Culture Park 🔖: A cherry blossom path, suitable for nearby residents to check in, not recommended for a special trip if too far 📍: South Ring Road, Xihongmen Town, Daxing District 🚇: Line 4 Daxing Line Xihongmen Station Exit A 📅: End of March - Early April ✅Garden Expo Park 🔖: Inside the cherry blossom garden of the Garden Expo Park, there are not many cherry blossoms, but the park is very beautiful 📍: No. 15 Shooting Range Road, Fengtai District 🚇: Line 14 Garden Expo Park Station 📅: End of March - Early April
