The shooting location in the North Park of Beijing Olympic Forest Park is located in Taohuagou, 2 kilometers away from the main gate. It is strongly recommended to take an electric car at the gate.

🍃In the height of summer in July, there are many colorful places in the park. The sunflowers in the North Park of Olympic Forest Park have withered, but there is still a green plant in full bloom. The kochia grass is growing well and is very suitable for taking photos. 🏠Olympic Forest Park North has always been a beautiful park with distinct seasons. In summer, various flowers and plants are densely packed. The park is open for a long time, making it very suitable for walking or taking photos. Additionally, due to the high degree of greenery, the oxygen content is amazing, making it a good place for exercise. 🏕After the rain, the sky in Beijing is clear. Under the strong color contrast of blue sky and white clouds, the kochia grass looks good. The spherical shape is becoming more and more obvious. Now they have grown taller and bigger, each one is even larger than a fitness ball. From a distance, it looks like a large green area, and up close, you can see the fine details of the small branches and leaves, which are particularly vibrant. Take a good walk around, because this year's shape is no different from last year. Be patient and you will always find a suitable spot. 🌈When is the best time: This plant feels very sturdy, but it seems to be green only in summer. It will change color when the weather gets cold. Considering the weather and other factors, it may be possible to take photos within the next month. The overall play time feels about 1 hour. ⏰What time is suitable: It is very hot during the dog days of summer. This outdoor environment can only be visited in the early morning or evening. It is unbearable at noon. Also, if it rains, it can be considered. Additionally, it feels wet. 🚻Suggested best play route: The kochia grass is a large area. You can go from east to west or from south to north, which is a circular play method. There are a few places worth checking in, such as the pavilion on the east side of the small road, where there are 2-3 benches, and the small road on the west side, which are all must-visit places. ❤What scenery is worth seeing? At this moment, in addition to the kochia grass, there are also lotus flowers and a small deer park in the green forest system in Olympic Forest Park, which can be visited as well. 🏠What facilities are nearby? The area near the kochia grass is relatively barren, with only a drink machine. The restroom is also at a certain distance, so you need to prepare many things. 📷How to take beautiful portrait photos: It is difficult to use a wide-angle lens. A medium telephoto 85mm lens is suitable, just like the portraits in this note. Pay attention to the composition of high and low positions. 🚗How to get there? The west gate of Olympic Forest Park North is the closest. After entering, go straight and turn right. After seeing the first bridge, turn left and keep walking. It takes about 10 minutes. ☎How to buy tickets and make reservations? It is a free park, just go directly. 🔥Must-see TIPS before checking in: 1. Best to go after the rain on a sunny day 2.
