I am Siu-jing, a Hong Konger living in Beijing. If you plan to come to Beijing before September, I sincerely recommend you to go to Chaoyang Park to get close to nature. It is a large city park located within the Four Rings, with a total area of ​​288.7 hectares and a water surface area of ​​68.2 hectares. To give you a concept: it is as big as 17 Victoria Parks. Because the water area is so large, you can choose to play with an electric boat or a traditional pedal boat. Black swans and water ducks pass by the lake from time to time, but check it out, don't disturb the wildlife 🙏🏼 In addition to renting boats, the park also offers a variety of rides, but we recommend you go to Universal Studios to play (you know😆) 📍Address: Chaoyang Park MTR Station Exit A or B 💰Average consumption: Free admission, other activities charged separately (boat prices can be found in Figure 2) #HongKongersBeijing #Beijing Good Places #Summer Good Places #Rafting on the Lake

Beijing Architecture Walk 🚶‍♂️ Chaoyang Park Plaza Chaoyang Park is the largest urban park in Beijing. This large-scale project, located at the south gate, was completed last year. It is a complex that combines high-rise offices with a design inspired by traditional Chinese landscape paintings of Guilin's mountain valleys, ARMANI CASA's mid-rise apartments, and low-rise commercial facilities and offices with a smooth, curved form like mountain rocks that have withstood long-term erosion. The design was done by MAD Architects, now one of China's leading architectural firms. The group of architects is Ma Yansong, Dang Qun, and Japanese architect Yosuke Hayano. Perhaps because Ma is from Zaha Hadid's office, the futuristic and powerful unique streamlined form that is somewhat reminiscent of Zaha Hadid's architecture makes a strong impression, but it also creates a new urban space with a diverse sense of scale, like water flowing down from the top of the mountain to form a valley within the site.

This is a huge park containing so many activities. One side you can take a nice a quite stroll through the park enjoying the scenery; on the other there are so many activities for children including a Lego store.

The February orchids in the small park next to Chaoyang Park are in full bloom‼️ The sign "Newly sown flower seeds🌱Do not enter," which was posted on the fence all winter, has finally led to the opening of the February orchid blind box this spring. The screen is full of purple, truly overflowing with the vitality of spring.🔆 The park was newly built last year and the outer fence was removed, making it part of Chaoyang Park. Except for visitors passing through to picnic by the river in Chaoyang Park and nearby residents, not many people know about it, making it a less crowded spot for taking photos. Please be careful not to step on the flowers when taking pictures.🙅🏻‍♀️
