Spring in Beijing is very short and therefore precious. Here are a few small things you can do to make you feel happier in spring in Beijing!
1. Fly kites in Yongdingmen Park
Every spring, kites of different shapes and colors dance in the air of the south square of Yongdingmen City Tower. The blue sky is the letterhead and the swaying kites are the characters. The spring breeze becomes the messenger, bringing this spring message to the pedestrians along the road. Let's fly kites together in this warm season.
2. View the sunset at Jingshan Park
It's a wonderful thing to visit Jingshan Park in the spring evening to view the sunset. When you climb the high Wanchun Pavilion at sunset, you can see the sunset light staining the sky red, and the White Pagoda of Beihai and the buildings of the Forbidden City are outlined by the afterglow with a dreamy golden edge.
3. Drink coffee and read magazines in Sanlihe Park
Spring is a great time to go out for a walk. If you go to Sanlihe Park, which is hidden in the bustling city, you can not only walk on the greenery, but also walk into the Spring Breeze Magazine Library in a leisurely afternoon. You can buy a cup of coffee and read a magazine there. Outside the window is the spring greenery, and inside the window is the poetry.
4. Take the subway Xijiao Line
The scenery of the Xijiao Line is most beautiful in spring. As the train departs from Bagou Station, the scenery along the way keeps changing through the windows, with successive patches of jungle flashing by. Getting off the train at any of the stops will bring you a different kind of spring surprise. The brown platform, the blue sky, and the train speeding into the distance make you feel as if you have stepped into the world of comics.
5. Go to the Summer Palace and walk on the “Little Su Causeway” in spring
