Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park: A Perfect Fusion of History and Nature

Located in Chaoyang District of Beijing, Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park is a historical and cultural garden that integrates cultural relic protection with leisurely sightseeing. Here, steles serve as carriers of historical and cultural information, known as 'speaking stones,' holding a wealth of historical memories. To protect these scattered inscriptions, Chaoyang District has collected the steles from various places to this site for restoration and protection, and named this concentrated area 'Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park'. Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park covers an area of about 1000 square meters, with majestic Huabiao (ornamental columns) standing on both sides of the entrance. On the west side of the garden's paths, stone carvings, tombstones, temple steles, and chronological steles are displayed, while the east side showcases tombstones. These stone relics contain rich historical and cultural values, and the contents recorded on the Hupao, Zhu Mala, Fei Yanggu, and Sanhe tombstones can fill gaps in historical records such as the 'Draft History of Qing'. The Xuande Guo Gong imperial edict stele bears the decree of the Hongxi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who reigned for only one year; the tombstone of Fa Li is inscribed by Chen Yixi, a calligrapher from the Qing Dynasty, using a running script font that is not commonly seen in Qing Dynasty tombstones. Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park organically combines cultural relic protection with leisurely sightseeing, becoming an important site in Chaoyang District for inheriting historical context and promoting excellent traditional culture. Strolling through the shady trees of Zhen Stone Park, you can enjoy the lush natural beauty while contemplating the profound heritage of Chaoyang. Here, history and nature blend perfectly, offering you a unique cultural journey. Welcome to Chaoyang Zhen Stone Park, where we invite you to listen to the echoes of history and feel the charm of excellent traditional culture. Here, you will spend an unforgettable time and create precious memories.

I captured the hydrangeas of May at Olympic Forest Park 🫧

- This year's hydrangeas are not as big as last year's. I failed to take pictures of the hydrangeas at Zizhuyuan Park. I went to Olympic Forest Park on a whim and found them here!! Although the area is not large, the photos turned out great 👍🏻. I really like this bench, a big cluster of hydrangeas hanging down 🌿 so beautiful. There is a flower wall nearby, I saw people taking wedding photos there～ The bench is quite popular, everyone is lining up to take selfies 🤳. I saw a young lady brought an 🍦 ice cream cone as a prop, so cute!! I didn't have an ice cream cone, so I used a straw hat instead～ - 📍Olympic Forest Park South Garden 🗺️ Enter from the South Gate - in the direction of the Forest Theater, follow the lakeside and you will see it. Olympic Forest Park

Beijing | April in the world, open summer with the hydrangeas of Olympic Forest Park

As April passes the halfway mark, it's the annual season to photograph hydrangeas in the Olympic Forest Park. This year is different from the past with large areas in bloom. Many hydrangeas have been moved away, leaving only a very small part for photography. Hydrangea flowers seem like a gift from nature, pure white and lovely like clouds, interspersed with green, clustered together. They monopolize the tenderness of late spring and early summer. If you want to take beautiful photos, come to Olympic Forest Park and check in at the same spot.～ Today's check-in spots for viewing: ① The popular bench (by the small river) It's really a hotspot for check-ins. Keep shooting, endlessly, with no end in sight. Waited a long time but didn't get the right photo. All the good angles are always occupied. Not feeling very good about it. ② Rose Friendship Garden (near Station 8) Not many people, but not as lush as the popular bench. But it's also more photogenic. If you want to take quiet and beautiful photos, it's recommended to go there. 🌸Tips 🚇 Take the subway line 8, get off at South Gate of Forest Park Station to reach the destination. 🚇 Take the subway line 8, get off at Lincuiqiao Station to enter through the West Gate via the National Speed Skating Oval (since it's a bit far, you can ride a bike from the subway station to the park's west gate). ☕ There's a coffee shop at the park entrance, coffee lovers can buy a cup before entering the park. The park is quite large and the weather is hot, be sure to stay hydrated. Different angles of Beijing Continuously sharing fun and delicious tips. Listen to the stories of Beijing from a Beijinger. ❗❗❗Follow 【Walking in Beijing】 There are more Beijing travel and food tips to share, stay tuned💗

Experience the romance of spring with a walk in the Olympic Forest Park amidst the blooming flowers

📢📢📢 Wow! The flowers in the Olympic Forest Park have basically all bloomed. Pick a sunny day, dress up beautifully, and head to the park to feel the romance of spring. ⛺【Play Tips】: You don't necessarily have to go to Peach Blossom Valley. In fact, the flowers throughout the park are almost in full bloom. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, magnolias, and forsythias are all competing to bloom. Get ready for sunscreen and you can set off at any time. 🛬【Itinerary】: The park is too big, so with kids it's purely a 'stop-and-go' play style 🕓 Park visiting time: April 2, 2024 ✨ Entrance: Enter from the north gate of the Olympic Forest Park ✅ After entering, choose to stroll on the right side. Most of the flowers have fully bloomed. You can casually choose a side and visit each one by one. Red, pink, white, and yellow flowers are all in sight. In the moment when the breeze blows, if you happen to stand under a tree, the petals falling with the wind will scatter on your head and shoulders, a beauty that probably can't be captured by a camera. ✅ Wear light-colored clothes, and you'll look beautiful no matter how you pose for photos ✅ For those who love sports, you can run, play frisbee, or skateboard 🧡【Tips】: ① Not far from the entrance, there are various carts for rent, which you can choose based on the size and stamina of the children ② Be sure to bring enough water for the kids, and simply carry some snacks and fruits ③ If you're playing for a long time, you can also bring a picnic mat (we didn't bring one, the kids just sat down anywhere)

Olympic Forest Park

Encounter the pink romance of early autumn. In the golden October, the Muhlenbergia capillaris has entered its best viewing period. It's pink and fluffy, like fog, smoke, and clouds, a rare color for autumn. From a distance, it forms a pink ocean, dreamy and romantic. The location of Muhlenbergia capillaris is in the North Park of the Olympic Forest Park, near the west gate, adjacent to the Cosmos garden area. (A route map is attached in the photo) It's truly heartbreaking to see many trampled and flattened Muhlenbergia capillaris. In fact, there are ridges and paths within the Muhlenbergia capillaris, and standing among them to take photos is like being in a sea of flowers, without the need to trample on the plants. I hope everyone will visit the park civilly and not destroy the environmental beauty for their own vanity.

Choose a weekday with good weather to avoid disappointment Qinghe Riverside | Yanjing Theological Seminary tips: Very few people, and you can also take photos with the church. Just search directly on the map Beijing's Back Garden | Baihuajian tips: The peach blossoms here are a bit whiter, but the hillsides covered with peach blossoms are still quite spectacular. You can hike and enjoy the spring together There are so many peach blossoms in Beijing, in the residential areas, along the roads, everyone has their own 'peach blossom ceiling' Next, pear blossoms, crabapples, and roses will bloom one after another.

Afternoon Walk in Beijing

The name of the park is Beijing Olympic Forest Park. It's also connected with Beijing Olympic Park, and located close to the stadium. Many people came here for jogging and sightseeing with their loved ones. You can also do sailing boat (they provide this kind of service too) while enjoying good weather of spring! To reach this attraction, the best way is to get on Beijing Subway (MRT) and stop at 北京奥林匹克 森林公园(Olympic Forest Park Station) and you can take exit B or C.

The greenery and blue skies of Olympic Forest Park's citywalk fill the youth with a sense of fulfillment

📷 I've finally found the best spot for taking photos in Olympic Forest Park! 📍Locations 1️⃣ On the small hill opposite the Chinese Arts and Crafts Museum, to the left you can capture the Olympic Tower and the blue sky, to the right you can capture the river surface and the Bird's Nest, and with a zoomed-in focus, the youthfulness is doubled. 2️⃣ At the lakeside road from the Olympic Tower towards the Bird's Nest, there is a pier that extends out, offering unbeatable photo opportunities, and you can also use the railing to create a sense of extension. ☁️🍃 These two spots are enough to capture the Olympic Tower and the Bird's Nest! ‼️ As the most important Olympic section of Beijing's central axis, Olympic Forest Park is full of surprises throughout the year. 🚴🏻 Since you're up, don't miss out on the other attractions besides the Bird's Nest and the Olympic Tower: 1️⃣ The Water Cube -- National Aquatics Center 2️⃣ Olympic Forest Park -- picturesque in all seasons, with different spots to visit each season, like sunflowers, ground cover grass, etc., super beautiful! 3️⃣ The Ice Ribbon -- National Speed Skating Oval, a cool place to visit in summer, ice skating is also open to the public, and both admission and skating have separate charges, but the prices are reasonable. 4️⃣ Nearby is the Chinese Arts and Crafts Museum, which is well worth a visit, with the nation's craftwork being the most beautiful! The museum's exhibitions are updated periodically, and you might encounter surprises. 5️⃣ The China National Museum of Archaeology, very experienced but especially hard to book, because it is said to be limited to 500 people per day, so be sure to book at least 3 days in advance, it's full of impressive treasures. ✅ Apart from Olympic Forest Park, which does not require advance booking for a visit, all other places do. 🛼 Time it right, full of energy, and you can visit all the Olympic landmark buildings. 🧢 Spring is just around the corner, put on some green, and set off for a spring outing!

Still want to squeeze into the crowd for the beauty of flowers? The sea of ​​Aster flowers in Olympic Forest Park is less crowded and more beautiful, waiting for you

❤️Unexpectedly, there are seas of flowers everywhere in Beijing at the end of September, and many people have recently visited the popular Olympic Forest Park. I found that there is a relatively hidden corner with a large area of ​​Aster flowers, and it is a beautiful hillside. 🉑The area where this sea of ​​flowers is located is the ecological corridor of the Olympic Forest Park.

Olympic Forest Park

The forest part is free and very big, including the south park and the north park. It has a 10.7 km track, which attracts a lot of people to run in the park. Except in winter, the park is filled with people, running, walking, strolling and camping on weekends. Try not to go there on weekends if you want away from crowds, or try to go as early as you can in the morning. There won't be less people in the late afternoon because the park is next to the Birds Nest and Water Cubic, and many people visit the park first and then go to watch the night-time lighting of the Birds nest and Water Cubic. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #easylife
