The Two Qiao Magnolia Flowers at Tanzhe Temple Will Be in Full Bloom in 2025! Come Quickly!

Among the red walls and black tiles, the millennium-old magnolia quietly blooms, and the lilacs spread over the eaves like purple clouds. With a gust of wind, the petals fall into the green smoke of the incense burner—this is probably the most poetic way to experience spring in Beijing! ✨ Blooming Status: The Two Qiao Magnolia has already blossomed on March 28! The flowering period is extremely short! Only 7 days! Be sure to seize the time to go! Around mid-April, the flowering of crabapples and lilacs will take over, and the peonies will be the grand finale around late April. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year! 🚗 Transportation Guide: It is recommended to drive (parking fee is CNY 10/day). You can also take subway line S1 + a taxi to reach the destination directly. It takes 1 hr to escape the crowds from the city center~ 💡 Off-the-Beaten-Path Experience: ▫️ Head there before 8:00 AM! Take in the ancient temple's sea of flowers when it is empty, and listen to the chimes on the eaves and the birds singing in harmony. ▫️ If you don't make it in time for the magnolia season, you can prepare for the peony season! You can put on Hanfu or a light-colored long dress, with the flower shadows and red walls as the background, and the original picture will have the style of "National Geographic"! ▫️ After touching the stone fish to pray for blessings, don't forget to try the "Magnolia Fragrant Cake" in the vegetarian restaurant for a taste of spring! ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Disappointment: ▫️ The flowering period of magnolia is extremely short (about 7 days), so don't hesitate! Take advantage of the weekend of March 29–30 to go! ▫️ There are many steps in the temple, so wear comfortable shoes + a sun hat, and enjoy a relaxed and photogenic visit~ Standing under the 400-year-old magnolia tree and watching the petals sweep across the flying eaves of the ancient temple, I suddenly understood what the ancients meant by "If there are no idle things on your mind, every season is a good season" 🌿
