The autumn scenery of Yuanmingyuan Park is legendary, and it won't last long.

Beijing Yuanmingyuan Autumn Viewing Guide 🍂 In autumn, Yuanmingyuan Park in Beijing is like a natural palette, painting a masterpiece. The lakes, trees, and ancient buildings create a breathtaking beauty. The autumn colors are at their peak, with green trees, withered trees, yellow maples, and white wax trees creating a stunning display. The huge white wax trees with golden leaves and the white arch bridge, with the shimmering lake, resemble a Monet painting. Opening hours: November 1 to March 31: 7:00 am to 5:30 pm; April 1 to October 31: 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Ticket information: Adult ticket: CNY 10 per ticket; Student ticket: CNY 5 per ticket. Transportation: Exit B of Yuanmingyuan Station on Metro Line 4. Best time to view autumn: Mid to late October to early November. Recommended time to view autumn: 9:30 am to 11:00 am, 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm. Tour route: Enter from the south! After getting off at Exit B of Yuanmingyuan Station, go left to the south gate to buy a combo ticket for CNY 25 (including admission, Western-style building area, and Yuanmingyuan sand table). Then, go back to the Yuanmingyuan Museum on the right side of Exit B (the combo ticket is free, but you need to make a reservation on your phone. You can see the return of the horse head and six of the twelve heads at Zhengjue Temple on the way to the museum). Then, visit Pingxiang Pavilion (for autumn photos), Hanqiu Pavilion (with a cultural and creative store and stamps of the twelve heads), "Three Gardens Junction," Apricot Avenue (via Fuhai), Western-style building area (a must-see, the essence of the park, with famous scenes from history books), Yuanmingyuan sand table (restoration of the park's glory), and Black Swan Viewing Area (the two attractions are adjacent, with swan sculptures). Finally, exit from the east gate (there is no subway at the east gate, but there is a bus stop on the right after crossing the overpass, where you can transfer to the subway. Taxis are inconvenient and expensive).
