Life advice: You must visit the Summer Palace in March in Beijing.

After a spring snow, the weather in Beijing is unbelievably good, and the Summer Palace has finally ushered in its spring scenery! The mountain peach blossoms on the West Dike are in bloom, and the cruise ships are sailing. Strolling along the West Dike, amidst the pink peach blossoms and green willows, feels like stepping into a traditional landscape painting! Flower viewing🌸🌸 In mid-March, the mountain peach blossoms on the West Dike are about 70% in bloom, perfect for taking photos. Cruise information: Summer Palace cruises: 1 large ferry + 2 small cruise ships🚢🚢 The large ferry route offers multiple perspectives to appreciate the spring beauty of the Summer Palace! Large ferry docks: Bronze Ox, Duiofang, Marble Boat, Paiyun Gate, Shizhang Pavilion, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Suyunyan, Suzhou Street, Jade Belt Bridge, Jingming Tower, South Ruyi Gate, South Lake Island South, South Lake Island West, South Lake Island North, Changguan Hall, West Dike South Entrance Small cruise docks: Yulantang, Wenchangge, Bafang Pavilion Tour Route 1: West Dike Mountain Peach Blossoms Summer Palace West Gate > Mirror Bridge > Lianqiao > Jingming Tower > Willow Bridge Tour Route 2: Leshoutang Yulan Magnolia (not yet in bloom) + West Dike Mountain Peach Blossoms Summer Palace East Gate > Leshoutang > Mirror Bridge > Lianqiao > Jingming Tower > Willow Bridge ★Important Notes: 🎫1. Booking Tickets: - During peak season, book tickets 1–7 days in advance on the "Summer Palace" official WeChat account. Tickets are 30 yuan; enter the park by swiping your ID card! 🚗2. Transportation Guide: Take Subway Line Xijiao to "Summer Palace West Gate Station." It's a 10-minute walk to the West Dike (highly recommended! The scenery along the way is super beautiful). You can park at the West Gate parking lot if driving, but parking spaces are limited, so arrive early! 3. Outfit Tips: - Light colors, Hanfu, or New Chinese style clothing are more photogenic! - Wear comfortable shoes (the West Dike is over 2 km long) and bring a windproof jacket (it's windy by the lake)! 4. Other Reminders:❤️ - Food and drinks inside the park are limited and expensive, so bring your own water and snacks~ - Appreciate the flowers responsibly! Don't climb or break branches. Fallen flowers are also beautiful for photos! Spring waits for no one, so grab your bestie/boyfriend and capture this limited-time pink romance!
