So far, this is my favorite citywalk route in Beijing

Visiting Beijing in autumn is simply an ideal experience

☀️In the pleasantly warm weather, basking in the sun, with a gentle breeze brushing over the lake and sparkling waves, you truly feel the refreshing comfort of autumn
💛I discovered a hidden gem route in Chaoyang District! You can enjoy it from afternoon to evening, with plenty of exciting spots to check in and stunning sunsets to watch. The best part is, every photo looks amazing!

📍Location: Chaoyang Park

✅Tour route
Enter from the South Gate of Chaoyang Park ➡️ Century Fountain ➡️ Ark Lake Lawn ➡️ Source of Life ➡️ Wild Duck Island ➡️ North Pier ➡️ Blue Harbor Fish Viewing

✅About transportation
♥️I biked there from Hujialou. Passing by Chaoyang Theater, I saw the Didi slogan “Go to every kind of life, go bask in the work vibe,” which really touched me. On weekdays, wrapped in the “work vibe” rushing through rush hour, but now basking in the sun, chatting, and strolling in the park—this is probably the perfect time to exchange fatigue for relaxation
♥️You can also take Metro Line 14 to Chaoyang Park Station
♥️Or take Bus 690 and get off at Chaoyang Park South Gate

📸Photo spots
1️⃣ Century Fountain
The white European-style colonnade looks especially romantic in the afternoon sun, 🕊️ with pigeons occasionally flying around. You can take many portrait photos here
2️⃣ Ark Lake Lawn
Many people bring tents here for picnics, lying down watching the Pop Mart Palace 🏰 across the lake. For a moment, you might think you’re abroad. This area is great for couples and families with kids
3️⃣ Source of Life
Known as the “Sacred Tree” spot, this tree is really huge 🌳. Sitting on the bench under the tree for photos creates a strong atmospheric vibe
4️⃣ Wild Duck Island
The sunset dyes the lake into a beautiful “orange juice sea.” Seeing the European-style buildings and yachts across the lake gives a dreamy feeling of being in Europe
5️⃣ North Pier
You can see the tall buildings of Guomao, which feels quite special
6️⃣ Blue Harbor Fish Viewing
There is an S-shaped sightseeing bridge, many bubble lights on the water, and lots of koi fish
