Missing the peak season, but encountering a beautiful rain of peach blossoms.

When visiting the Beijing Garden Expo Park in early spring, you can skip other places, but you must visit Peach Blossom Valley. At that time, the valley is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, with shades of deep and light red captivating hearts. The distant Wenchang Pavilion echoes the blossoms, creating a scene of otherworldly beauty. Unfortunately, strong winds blew for several days last week, causing many mountain peach blossoms to fall, leaving a slight regret for weekend flower viewing. While the wind took away the peak viewing period, the falling peach blossoms created a random shower of petals, adding a touch of unexpected beauty to the moment. 📍Mountain Peach Viewing Spot: Peach Blossom Valley, Beijing Garden Expo Park 🕑Opening Hours: 7:30–17:00 (Free admission) 🚗Transportation Guide: The Garden Expo Park has gates 1–6. Take Subway Line 14 to Garden Expo Park Station, which is closest to Gate 1. However, Gate 1 is the farthest from Peach Blossom Valley. If you are driving, navigate to the parking lot at Gate 6. Other entrances do not have parking lots, and parking spaces are limited. 🌸Flower Viewing Period: Mid-early March to the end of the month (currently past peak season) 📅Date of Photos: Mar 22 🚶Flower Viewing Route: Enter through Gate 6, turn right, walk towards Yongding Tower, bypass the tower, head towards Wenyuan Pavilion, and follow the sloping path through the valley to Wenchang Pavilion. 🌟Tips for Visiting: The best time to appreciate the flowers is before 9am. Firstly, there are fewer visitors and no need to queue for parking. Secondly, the soft natural light is ideal for taking photos, as the flower colors won't appear washed out by strong sunlight. 📸Photography Tips: 1. The two viewing platforms next to Wenyuan Pavilion offer classic photo spots. When shooting, try to find areas near the platforms with more flowers to capture a more vibrant and colorful effect. 2. Walk up the steps from the bottom of the valley to the side of Wenchang Pavilion. Here, you'll find a hidden railroad track leading to a spring scene. Watch as speeding trains gradually disappear from view, framed by the mountain flowers. 3. Instead of taking the main road, follow the stone path for some less crowded photo spots and unexpected views.
