Jingxi Ancient Trail - Peach Blossom Season

Spring has arrived. Where to go for a spring outing in Beijing? The Botanical Garden has more people than flowers. It is said that the Garden Expo Park is also the best time when peach blossoms are in full bloom, but on rest days, you can't take pictures of the flowers in all their glory, it's all heads of people. Today, I recommend a place with few people, easy parking, and close distance. Search for 'Jingxi Ancient Trail - North Gate' in your navigation. 27 yuan for a ticket. Drive along the road upwards, the mountain road is a bit steep, and you can stop at any time on the roadside when you see a nice view, parking is free. If there are elderly or children with poor mobility, you can also consider driving all the way, but you will miss some experiences. We stopped halfway to walk and take photos. The peach blossoms all over the mountains are very beautiful. I came here on 2024-3-23, when they were in full bloom, and I feel they could last for one to two weeks. If you have a drone, you can try taking photos with it, which will definitely be more beautiful. Of course, you can also bring meals or fast food and have a picnic in the small pavilions by the roadside, which is also a very nice experience. The weather has warmed up, let's all get out and walk, feel the breath of spring, the vitality of spring. When you see the plank bridge in the pictures behind, you are almost at the center of the scenic area, inside there are hoof prints left by the caravans, all marks of history. If you have time, you can also visit the former residence of Ma Zhiyuan To experience the environment of the poem 'Dead vines, old trees, crows at dusk, small bridges, flowing water, people's homes, ancient trails, west wind, thin horses. The setting sun is setting, and the heartbroken person is at the end of the world', you can really find the small bridge, old trees, and the ancient trail is actually the Jingxi Ancient Trail. I didn't know before, the poetry I memorized since childhood is actually so close to us.
