How can the ritual of wintering in the north be complete without the participation of ice and snow? This year's winter is warm, so not only is it snowing, there aren't many places to play on the ice. My wish to enjoy ice recreation projects in Beijing has actually come true. Not only do I not have to leave Beijing, I don’t even have to leave the city. It is a perfect place to take my kids out for a walk in winter. The Achilles Ice Sculpture World, which was customized for winter, is now open within the Second Ring Road. Although the forest ice slide here is not as large as the one in Harbin Ice and Snow World, it is also a hundred meters long.

The flower beds arranged for the Capital Citizens' Garden Festival in the park are showing their vibrant and brilliant charm under the sunshine, full of life.

The chill niche treasure park within the Second Ring awaits your exploration! 🌸Spring is here, and how can you miss this treasure in the city center during the season for outings? Longtan Central Lake Park, once the site of Beijing Amusement Park, has now transformed into an excellent place for family outings! 🍃Imagine spreading out a picnic mat by the lake, basking in the warm sunshine with your little one, and enjoying the pleasant breeze of spring. Or, find a comfortable spot under the shade of trees, have a chat, eat some snacks, and feel the beauty of spring. 🛶Hey, don't forget about boating on the lake! Sitting in the boat, gently swaying, it's like entering a fairy tale world. Choose from different boat types at affordable prices, come and experience it! 🚲Cycling enthusiasts should not miss this place! Balance bikes, scooters can all travel unimpeded, enjoying the fun of riding. Of course, if you have a little one, it's also easy to stroll around with a stroller. 🪁On the spacious grassland, flying kites is another great joy. Watching the kite soar freely in the blue sky, your mood will also lift. But remember to be safe, don't let the kite get caught in the treetops. 🎡Although the Ferris wheel no longer turns, it still stands there quietly, becoming a part of the park's scenery. You can stand under it and capture this beautiful moment with your camera. 🚂The little train at the east gate entrance is also a favorite for children. Take a ride on the little train around the park, as if traveling through a time tunnel, back to the happy times of childhood. 🎠The amusement park may not have many facilities, but the white sand pool is definitely a paradise for children.

✔️When it comes to the flowers of summer, sunflowers truly are the most beautiful. If you missed the ones in Olympic Forest Park, make sure not to miss this patch within the Second Ring Road. Whether you're shooting landscapes or portraits, it's the perfect summer vibe. Longtan Lake Park 🌲As many know, Longtan Lake Park was once the Beijing Amusement Park, and the giant Ferris wheel has become a stationary monument, collecting memories of the amusement park days, very eye-catching. 🈶At this moment, I've stumbled upon a sea of sunflowers right in front of the Ferris wheel, filled with the feeling of summer déjà vu. I estimate there are about 80 plants, and upon closer inspection, the density is quite high. At sunset, with the Ferris wheel in the distance and a sea of flowers up close, the scene is incredibly picturesque, probably the most romantic spot in Beijing lately. Although you can't get close to the flower sea, just looking at it feels like time has stood still, a summer surprise at the end of July. 🍂Regarding the timing: The blooming period for these flowers is limited, and with the heavy rain forecasted for Beijing next week, you really need to hurry. The best time is around 18:30 in the evening when the light and scenery are absolutely stunning, but you must check the weather first! 👣About the route and check-in spot: No matter which gate you enter the park from, it's a bit of a walk. The specific location is right in front of the Ferris wheel, easy to find. If you're not photographing the flowers, just the Ferris wheel itself is beautiful. But be aware, you can't enter the side of the flower sea; there's fencing and security guards. ⭐About the scenery: It's just as shown in the pictures, the flowers are dense, but there's one issue - the flowers only face one direction, so the viewing angle is only good from east to west. 🏡About the facilities: As a well-established scenic area, the park naturally has many amenities, with plenty of places to eat, drink, and have fun nearby. 📷About photography: I think there are two extremes. Using an ultra-wide angle lens to capture the landscape with people in it is a good choice. If you want a close-up, you definitely need at least an 85mm lens to get a sense of perspective and separate the subject from the background. 🎤About transportation: It's in the city center, easy to get to by bus or car. Note that it's 'Longtan Lake Park,' not Longtan Lake. 👍About reservations and tickets: Just reserve at the entrance, it's free. Specific location: No. 19, Zuo'anmennei Street, Dongcheng District Opening hours: Same as the park's opening hours Type of activity: Popular photo spot, landscape photography

❤Today, let's talk about the 'New Year's Blessing Bureau' of Longtan Zhonghu in Beijing. In popular terms, it's not that Longtan is too expensive to go, but that Longtan Zhonghu is more cost-effective. 🌟Longtan Zhonghu used to be the famous 'Beijing Amusement Park' site in Beijing. The big Ferris wheel from that time is still preserved here as a memorial to the Beijing Amusement Park and is permanently preserved in the center of the park. 👍As a free city garden, the Lunar New Year of the Dragon Year has launched a garden temple fair with the theme of 'New Year's Blessing Bureau'. Around the Zhonghu, there are auspicious words of four-character idioms everywhere, which are especially appropriate for the New Year. ✅In the Zhonghu area, a snack food street has been set up, with all kinds of delicious food gathered here to satisfy the taste buds of people who visit the temple fair. Traditional Chinese temple fair activities such as ring tossing and target shooting are carried out in the amusement area, and both adults and children have a lot of fun. For those who like ice and snow activities, you can also experience the fun of the Zhonghu Ice and Snow Festival in Zhonghu (100 yuan per person). 📍Address: Inside Longhu Zhonghu, Dongcheng District, Beijing. 🕙Opening hours: Lunar New Year's Day (February 10) to the eighth day (February 17) 💰Free admission!

Key point🌟No admission fee!!!!!!🌟 The nearby Beiping Machine and Manner Coffee have often gone before, and it is very suitable for resting. 1️⃣Beiping Machine Dragon Pool Middle Lake Store Spring Festival business hours: 11 o'clock-19 o'clock Their Longjing beer and fried small river shrimp are always a must-order😋The pancakes are also quite creative. 2️⃣Manner Coffee The coffee is good, and there are also simple meals such as pizza and pasta.
