Where Spring Arrives: Summer Palace's Mountain Peaches

If you're visiting Beijing in spring, the Summer Palace during the mountain peach blossom season is an absolute must-see. It’s one of the most breathtaking classic imperial gardens in the city, drawing crowds from all over the world—and for good reason.

Right now, hundreds of mountain peach trees are in full bloom, especially along the iconic West Causeway. Walking from the Jade Belt Bridge to the Willow Bridge, the soft pink and white blossoms perfectly complement the fresh green of the weeping willows, creating a stunning traditional Chinese painting of "peach pink and willow green." The atmosphere is lively but poetic, offering a picture-perfect view of spring over the lake.

The park is vast and offers multiple viewing spots, including the Farming and Weaving Picture Scenic Area and Longevity Hill. Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or just looking for a serene spring stroll, the Summer Palace's mountain peaches will leave you speechless.
