Yuyuantan Park

It was my first time to see the cherry blossoms at Yuyuantan, and it was beyond my expectations - it was so beautiful!! As someone who has only ever seen cherry blossoms at my school, coming to this cherry blossom garden is like entering paradise! It is now 9:23 am on Sunday, April 14, 2019. The early cherry blossoms have already faded, and only the late cherry blossoms are left, but it is still fascinating!!

Sakura Dream~

There are many kinds of cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan. The park is not small, and the ticket is 10 yuan. But there are many people. But such scenery is worth visiting. During the cherry blossom festival, there are many small things like cherry blossoms, such as cherry blossom ice cream and cherry blossom cola. There are many people, so the shooting angle can only be taken towards the sky, but the scenery is very beautiful. The cherry blossoms are also beautiful. Generally, the cherry blossom season is from mid-March to early April, and the peak period is around Qingming Festival. For detailed cherry blossom opening hours, please check Weibo or the official website.

The Yuyuantan Park Cherry Blossom Festival is held from mid-March to mid-April each year, and varies with the weather each year. In late March, the early cherry blossoms bloom, which are white, mainly Someihachino and Yamazakura, with the largest distribution area; in early April, the late cherry blossoms bloom, mainly the multi-petaled Yaezakura. The white early cherry blossoms in the photo were taken on March 25, 2019, and the red late cherry blossoms were taken on April 15, 2018.

We have called this park "Bayi Lake" since we were little. Our home is not far from this park. You can just ride a bike and enter from the gate in front of Diaoyutai or take the subway to Muxidi. Although the park does not have many facilities, the scenery is really nice.

There are even more people coming during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Go early to avoid queuing. There are really a lot of people around 10 o'clock.

Watch the first bloom of cherry blossoms at Yuyuantan Park in early spring.

Although the spring breeze is still rustling, the spring in Yuyuantan Park is irreversible. The volleyball team and the dance team have become active, and the beautiful cherry blossoms have begun to bloom. After so many years, I am still used to calling Yuyuantan "Bayi Lake". This is where I spent my childhood. The children from the military compound jumped up and down with water guns. They were cute and righteous. However, those happy times will never come again. The children who once loved to brag are now scattered all over the world. Only I am still here, thinking of the people and feeling the emotions when I see the things.

Encountering the sea of ​​lupine flowers to pay tribute to mothers around the world



Lupine symbolizes maternal love. It blooms all over the fields. After its petals and leaves wither, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers. It is as selfless and great as maternal love.

Lupine blooms around Mother's Day in May. In Taiwan, it symbolizes deep maternal love and is called "Mother Flower."

Yuyuantan Park planted lupine for the first time, and the best viewing period is Mother's Day. Lupines are mainly distributed along the main road of the cherry blossom garden.

The tourist ticket for Yuyuantan is 10 RMB. I bought it directly at the window. Although there are many tourists

But I didn't have to wait in line for long to buy tickets before I was squeezed into the park by the crowd.

This is the Yuyuantan that I have been longing for. The park area is relatively large, which is suitable for walking. Different types of cherry blossoms are distributed in different places, but please forgive my poor eyesight and I can’t see any difference except the color. The beauty is similar, so I happily joined the army of selfie sticks and beauty cameras.

Many cherry blossoms look like peach blossoms to me. I wonder if there are other plants in the park. There are some unknown small flowers and tulips not far from the entrance of the park. The lake in the middle of the park is the best place to shoot CCTV, and it gathers many photography enthusiasts with long guns and short guns.

I came alone without a camera or accessories, so I tried several angles but none of them were ideal.

I can only look at the real-time posting of beautiful photos of Yuyuantan on a certain blog

Yuyuantan Park is a place for Beijing locals to relax, with very few tourists from other places. The park is quite large, and thousands of tourists will not cause congestion. Beijing likes to call the pond "sea". But this park is called "Yuyuantan". It feels full of poetry and painting. In fact, the lake is also surrounded by green trees and dotted with red flowers. There is a levee in the center of the lake, dividing the lake into two. A beautiful multi-hole bridge leads to another exit. Not far away is the China Millennium Monument and the Chinese Military Museum.

Now it is a low-cost park. The most influential thing here is the cherry blossoms. Every year, the cherry blossom festival here is crowded with people. I remember that when I was young, this was still a free park. In the summer, it was a good place for people living nearby to swim. My swimming skills started in Yuyuantan Bayi Lake.

The Cherry Blossom Festival used to be full of people destroying the flowers and taking photos, which made me want to curse. Now there are security guards and volunteers to maintain order, and there are basically no people who are not careful. It is a good experience to go to Yuyuantan on a weekday when there are fewer people.

Enjoy the water view in summer and cherry blossoms in spring. Chrysanthemum Festival, Cherry Blossom Festival, Temple Fair, Winter Swimming, Ice and Snow Festival, etc. are held in different seasons.

There are snow machines in winter, so you can see snow anytime and anywhere, great!

每年春天，我如果在北京的話都會擠出一天來玉淵潭看櫻花，人確實是太多了，但是爲了滿足賞櫻花的願望忍一忍也罷。

Yuyuantan Park is located on the middle of Beijing's West Third Ring Road. The park has a wide surface area, divided into two parts, east and west. The Cherry Blossom Festival is held every year on the north bank of the West Lake. The CCTV Tower is on the west side of the lake. The lake light and tower shadows are all beautiful scenery.

A must-visit place from late March to early April every year

The gorgeous and dense sea of ​​cherry blossoms always makes people linger

Willow trees sway, birds chirp

The breeze is blowing, and the water is calm.

Here, it seems as if we are embraced by the beauty of spring.

Morning jog, ticket price is 2 yuan (compared to 4A scenic spots, it is cheap), the lotus in the West Lake is very beautiful, it is worth a visit, the lotus is very beautiful

When I went there, the park was holding a lupine exhibition. The environment was great and suitable for a leisurely stroll.

The cherry blossoms are beautiful, but there are really a lot of people. Every tree that is in full bloom is full of people. If the weather is bad, the color of the photos may not be so pink. I still recommend everyone to go and see it. I come here almost every year.

Yuyuantan Park is very beautiful and large. In spring, there are flowers and plants everywhere, which is lush and green. It is very pleasant.

In 2019, when I went to Yuyuantan Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season, it was already mid-April. The cherry blossoms I saw in the park were basically the larger varieties such as the Puxianxiang, which were quite different from those seen in Japan, and I almost didn't recognize them as cherry blossoms.

The experience of visiting the park was not very satisfactory. The large number of tourists was expected, but the prices of various commodities in the park were very unexpected, which made me completely give up the idea of ​​buying some snacks. The park installed a loudspeaker in a place where the cherry blossoms were more lush, and repeatedly played a recording to tell tourists to appreciate the flowers in a civilized manner, but the effect did not seem to be ideal.

Later, I came to Yuyuantan Park again and found that there were many more waterfowl in the park, such as ducks and mandarin ducks. There were also many people taking pictures by the pond, and tourists feeding them. It feels like there are more and more wild animals in life in recent years, and many birds are no longer as afraid of people as before. I wonder if this shows that the environmental awareness of the whole society is indeed improving step by step.

It is a very popular park. The monthly ticket is 4 yuan a month on weekdays. Many elderly people exercise in the park, such as chorus, folk art, and Tai Chi. The most special thing is that you can always see an old man performing magic tricks, close-up magic, which is very interesting.

Very beautiful! The scenery is beautiful, but there are many people. If you come here in the morning or evening, the experience will be different and beyond your expectations!

It should be the cherry blossom festival that turned it into a popular park. It's not bad to come during the flower season, but it's just an ordinary park on weekdays~~ You can see the old TV tower here! After playing, it's a good choice to have a meal in the revolving restaurant of the TV tower. It's not expensive, 198 per person, buffet!

There are not many cherry blossoms left. The Nanmen cherry blossoms are more colorful. My mother and I went to see the cherry blossoms at the end of the festival.

I've been there twice. It's usually a big park, but when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it's a very crowded park. You have to queue up for a long time to use the toilet. Of course, the scenery is also very good.

I went to the 31st Cherry Blossom Festival at the end of March 2019. It was really beautiful.

I just went there yesterday. It was a rare sight with blue sky, white clouds and beautiful cherry blossoms. I took out my camera and took some photos! I uploaded them for everyone to enjoy.

Yuyuantan Lake is so beautiful during the cherry blossom season.

There were too many people, and there were a lot of bamboo sticks on the ground. The phenomenon of people stepping on the grass was simply outrageous.

The sleepless Yuyuantan, the moon is still smoking

Most of the cherry blossoms 🌸 haven't bloomed yet, so you have to wait to see them. If you go now, there will be winter jasmine, forsythia, and possibly peach and pear blossoms. There are only a few small cherry blossoms. But there are already so many people.

Beijing's Yuyuantan is a famous historical garden and an AAAA-level scenic spot, adjacent to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and the China Millennium Monument. It has more than 30 species of cherry blossoms, nearly 3,000 trees, as well as more than 12,000 trees of forsythia, plum, forsythia, mountain peach, apricot, crabapple, as well as ranunculus, pansy, and poppy.

During the Cherry Blossom Festival, I feel like there are more people than flowers.

Yuyuantan has a nice view, with a large lake. After walking 5 kilometers, you can look up at the CCTV Tower.

I live nearby so I come here often. I used to wonder why such a large park and water area is not used properly. Later, I was very pleased to see its value being discovered and developed bit by bit. Due to geographical reasons, Yuyuantan is very suitable for planned exercise, not suitable for the so-called "just look around and go". The East Lake area gives people a better feeling. There are too many people in the west, especially when the cherry blossom festival comes, it feels like going to war. In fact, not only the cherry blossoms in spring, but also the lotus flowers in Yuyuantan in summer and the appearance after snow in winter are lovely.

The most popular time for Yuyuantan is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. This is the only place in Beijing where you can see cherry blossoms in full bloom. Waiting in line to buy tickets is definitely the most troublesome thing at this time. There are so many people, but the scenery will not disappoint you🙍

There is no other favorite park in Beijing. Why do I like Yuyuantan so much? You can enjoy cherry blossoms in early spring and lotus in midsummer. There are also cute little ducks.

When visiting Yuyuantan Park on a foggy winter day, the crowds of tourists watching the cherry blossoms are gone, but what can still be seen are a few citizens swimming hard under the sign prohibiting wild swimming.

Yuyuantan has a cherry blossom festival every year. You can go and have a look. Although there are not as many or as beautiful as in Japan, it is better than not having to travel far. You can also take a boat trip in the lake.

Yuyuantan Park is not big, many people who come to exercise can come and see the card

Yuyuantan Park has now become a popular destination for Beijing citizens to visit.

A big pond where you can take a walk. It is better to go in spring when the cherry blossom festival is more famous.

As a Beijing native, I strongly recommend Yuyuantan Park (near the Five-Arch Bridge at Sakura Lake) as the best angle to take photos of the CCTV Tower. Especially at sunset, if the sunset is beautiful enough, it can be captured as a background.

Yuyuantan is very close to Beijing West Railway Station, making it very convenient to visit. The most famous event is the Cherry Blossom Festival every spring. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the park is crowded with tourists. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan. If you choose the right time, you will be overwhelmed with their beauty.

I went there just to see the cherry blossoms. The weather was really good that day, and all kinds of cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

I went to Yuyuantan Park during the Cherry Blossom Festival. There were many flowers and the late cherry blossoms had not yet bloomed, but there were even more people.

It is beautiful in spring when peach, plum, cherry, apricot and plum blossoms bloom.

There are cherry blossoms in Japan and Wuhan everywhere in the circle of friends 🌸, which makes me itchy, but unfortunately there is no holiday. Fortunately, Beijing also has a cherry blossom viewing paradise, we have Yuyuantan.



Beijing was shrouded in heavy smog, which was not good weather for flower viewing. But I was lucky to have gone there before the sandstorm.



There are two main factors that determine whether cherry blossom viewing is beautiful or not. The first is that they must be densely packed together, and the second is, of course, that they must be close to water. Yuyuantan has both of these factors.



Another major supporting advantage of Yuyuantan is the TV tower to the west. The early and pink cherry blossoms set off the tower's height and majesty. The TV tower adds a three-dimensional visual enjoyment to the monotonous flowers and trees, complementing each other beautifully.



The girl in kimono swayed under the cherry tree, and the beautiful tree was willing to serve as a foil for the cherry blossoms. Every frame was a pink fairy tale of youth. It was so beautiful that I stopped and couldn't bear to leave...

It is rare to have such a big park in Beijing where every inch of land is valuable. The ticket is 2 yuan and the monthly ticket is 4 yuan. The place is very big. The schematic diagram is shown below. It is cool under the shade of the trees and many people are singing revolutionary songs.

Willows are sprouting new green leaves, cherry blossoms are blooming, and the vibrant Yuyuantan Lake brings people a different kind of spring. The vast and fresh lake is rippling with blue waves, and the rolling hills are lush with trees. Along the winding garden paths and the winding lakeshore are the cherry blossoms that are as beautiful as clouds and swaying in the wind. Every year when the cherry blossoms bloom, you can enjoy 20 varieties of 2,000 cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan Park.

The cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan Park are divided into early cherry blossoms and late cherry blossoms. The early cherry blossoms include Hangzhou early cherry blossoms, Oyama cherry blossoms, mountain cherry blossoms, Somei Yoshino, Edo Higan, etc. It's like a night of spring breeze blowing, and the cherry blossoms are vigorous, like clouds and snow. Their simple and elegant temperament is fresh and refined. They are graceful by the water, simple among pines and cypresses, tall and straight in the mountains, and even more luxuriant among the layers. A few days after the early cherry blossoms, the colorful late cherry blossoms will appear. The plump branches are drooping and swaying, bringing people a warm and joyful atmosphere of spring viewing. The late cherry blossom varieties include Yaehong Oshima, Ichiyo, Guanshan, Yujin, Puxianxiang, etc.

Go there in March or April, there is a garden of cherry blossoms, pink and white, very beautiful.

If you miss the cherry blossom season, there will be nothing left.

Generally speaking, it is good, especially during holidays. Compared with famous attractions in Beijing, there are fewer people here, which makes it suitable for holiday travel.

The Cherry Blossom Festival in Yuyuantan is very famous. It is held from late March to mid-April. The ticket price during the Cherry Blossom Festival is 10 yuan, and there are half-price discounts such as student ID cards. I went there on a weekday, and the flow of people was acceptable, but the wind was really strong that day.



When taking photos, you can face the direction of the CCTV Tower and include the tower in the picture, which will make the composition look better. 😁 The tour route is to enter from the northwest gate of the park, which is the gate on the side of the CCTV Tower, visit the cherry blossom area on the back mountain, and then leave from the south gate of the park, which is the gate on the side of the China Millennium Monument.



The park tour takes about an hour and a half, depending on your pace. After visiting Yuyuantan Park, you can go to the China Millennium Monument at the south gate to see the exhibition. Recently, there is a National Geographic Magazine Photography Exhibition (on display until 2018.06.24), and a special exhibition of cultural relics from the Peterhof State Museum, Russia's "Summer Palace of Time" (on display until 2018.06.10). It is more affordable to book exhibition tickets online in advance.

The scenery is beautiful. The cherry blossoms in the center of April are in full bloom.

Yuyuantan Park has a superior geographical location. Its east gate is adjacent to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, its south gate is just north of China Millennium Monument, and it faces the CCTV Tower across the road to the west. The park mainly consists of Liuchun Garden to the east, Zhongshan Island to the south, Cherry Blossom Garden to the west, and Yinshui Lake Scenic Area to the north.



Every year when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, Yuyuantan Park holds a Cherry Blossom Festival, where more than 2,000 cherry trees of various varieties are displayed.



Walking into Yuyuantan, you will see the trees covered with red clouds and crimson snow in the spring breeze, and the crowds of people admiring the flowers surging like melted spring water, presenting a beautiful picture before your eyes.



This year, due to weather conditions, the Yuyuantan Cherry Blossom Festival came relatively late. In late March, the cherry blossoms in the park had already entered the flowering period. However, more than 2,000 cherry blossoms, divided into early, mid-term and late cherry blossoms, have gradually entered the viewing period, and it is expected that the viewing will continue for a month. If you have this plan, you can arrange the flower viewing time and don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the sea of ​​​​cherry blossoms.



Reference flowering period for the 2018 Yuyuantan Park Cherry Blossom Festival:

Early cherry blossoms: March 17

Late cherry blossom season: April 19



The most beautiful sea of ​​cherry blossoms dyes Yuyuantan into a pink ocean. At the same time, the number of spring flowers that can be seen during the Cherry Blossom Festival continues to increase, from saffron, winter jasmine, mountain peach blossoms in early spring to peony flowers in mid-to-late May, nearly a hundred kinds of spring flowers compete for splendor.

The entrance to Yuyuantan Park is indeed not eye-catching. I went through the east gate of the park. There is a Diaoyutai Hotel next to the gate. You can also get here if you use the navigation system for self-driving tours.

The park has six gates: East Gate, South Gate, Southwest Gate, West Gate, Northwest Gate, and North Gate. Once you enter the park, you'll feel overwhelmed by the spring scenery. The park ticket is usually 5 yuan, but it increases to 10 yuan during the Cherry Blossom Festival.

As you enter the park through the east gate, you will see weeping willows all along the left side, which is really beautiful.

Walking left along the lakeside, there is a small bridge. After crossing the bridge, there are many vendors where you can get supplies. After crossing the bridge, I was attracted by the flowers on the roadside.

After walking a few steps forward, I saw cherry blossoms everywhere. The trees were really tall. It was a little late when I went there. It was the peak blooming period of the cherry blossoms. When the wind blew, many cherry petals fell to the ground. It would be better if I went there in the middle of the blooming period.

If the weather is good, if you have enough time, if you have a companion, how pleasant it would be to take a boat on the lake. How romantic it would be if there were couples sitting among the boats on the lake.

Yuyuantan is famous for its cherry blossoms. I went there at the end of March this year, but the cherry blossoms were not in bloom. I only saw some peach blossoms. There were so many people... and some people were swimming in the lake~ The garden is not very big, so walking around is just enough exercise~

Take Metro Line 1, get off at the Military Museum and exit at Exit B. You need to walk for a while. It is recommended that you go around April 1st, not too late, otherwise you won’t be able to see the full trees. I went on the 7th, and many of the cherry blossoms on the trees had fallen. However, there were many tourists, and the park is really big. You must wear sneakers when visiting, otherwise you will regret it.



I have been looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms for a long time, and it is quite good. I hope everyone can see the beautiful cherry blossoms.

It's bigger and better looking than I thought. I went there early, entered the park at 10 o'clock, and when I came out after 1 o'clock, it was really crowded. We went to the nearby CapitaLand Mall for dinner and shopping, perfect! My silly wife was so tired that she fell asleep on me, haha!



I've gone off topic. Anyway, it's a five-star recommendation. Remember to go early.

The weather was bad when I went there, it was raining and windy, but there were still 40,000 people entering the park, which shows that this place is very popular. Fortunately, I didn't go there on a weekend. It is indeed a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms. I will go there again when the late cherry blossoms bloom in a while.

Going to Yuyuantan was not planned, but I heard that the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I still thought I should go and see them. You can buy electronic tickets for Yuyuantan Park now, which is more convenient and faster than before, but the ticket price has increased to 10 yuan per ticket during the cherry blossom viewing period. I have been to Yuyuantan once before, but it was not the cherry blossom season at that time. This time I came mainly to see the cherry blossoms, but I was really shocked by the huge crowds of people in front of me. Of course, everyone likes to come here when it is the most beautiful. Because it was not a planned visit, I took two photos of cherry blossoms and returned, and did not visit other places, but Yuyuantan is really big and beautiful.

It's suitable for all ages, it's worth a visit, the scenery is beautiful👍

In the cherry blossom season, the cherry blossoms shine like snow, and riding a pedal boat in the breeze is the most pleasant experience...

It is the Cherry Blossom Festival recently. The ticket price is 10 yuan per person. There are so many people, almost people are standing next to each other. If you can, you should go to see it on weekdays.

You can buy electronic tickets for Yuyuantan. There is an electronic ticket entrance at the entrance. You can scan the QR code to buy tickets. It is very fast and you don't have to queue. The cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan are really well-deserved. They are so beautiful. You must go to the cherry blossom garden to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms are white and flawless. Some tourists left before they got to the place. It's a pity. It is recommended to go early in the morning. It's not hot, there are few people, and it's good to take pictures.

Yuyuantan is a good choice, you deserve this view.

There were quite a lot of people there in the afternoon. There was still a lot of cherry blossoms not in bloom when I went there last week. I guess there will be more people when the Cherry Blossom Festival opens. The flowers are still beautiful.

We went there this afternoon. The park is very big. The cherry blossoms near the lake are in full bloom. The cherry blossom festival has not yet arrived. Friends who want to visit can choose to come in early April. In addition, the lake is particularly beautiful under the sunset. The off-season ticket only cost 2 yuan.

Beijing's blue looks gorgeous with any color, especially in spring, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

You can buy tickets on site or buy electronic tickets. Ordinary tickets are 2 yuan, and student tickets are 1 yuan with relevant certificates. When I went there, not many cherry blossoms were in bloom. There was a lake in the middle, and many people were playing electric boats in the lake (suitable for the whole family). There were many small pavilions for rest by the lake. It was very comfortable to sit in the pavilions and take a nap. There are many couples going to Yuyuantan, so be prepared to eat dog food at any time 😂. When I went there, there were people taking pictures in the cherry blossom garden (there were two beautiful young ladies taking pictures there, and there were many people carrying cameras to take pictures of them). There were many people watching there, which was very interesting. I also bought two bottles of soda in the cherry blossom garden (the soda bottles said the 30th Cherry Blossom Cultural Season of Yuyuantan Park), which was quite commemorative. Overall it's not bad

The park ticket is 2 yuan, and half price with student ID. The early cherry blossoms are also worth seeing.

The Cherry Blossom Festival is here again. If you love taking photos, go take some photos!

Unplanned. I went to Yuyuantan. I thought there weren't many cherry blossoms in bloom, but I was so fascinated by them. They were in full bloom and there were many tourists. A beautiful scenery in this season

This park is really beautiful, it gave me so many surprises! I just wanted to go to the park on the weekend, but it was the Cherry Blossom Festival, so I saw very beautiful cherry blossoms, watched the sunset by the lake, and took very beautiful silhouettes. It was dark when I turned back after the visit, and it happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar that night, so I saw a very round and big moon, which was very beautiful! I didn't know which door to go out, so I just walked randomly, and as soon as I went out, I saw the China Millennium Monument, which I seemed to have seen in books or on TV before. It really exceeded my expectations! Good reviews!

In Beijing, the cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan are particularly famous. It is the largest cherry blossom garden in Beijing. There are hundreds of early cherry blossom trees in full bloom in the garden. In mid-to-late April, 2,000 late cherry blossom trees will bloom. You can feel the romantic and dreamy cherry blossom rain without going to Japan.
