Beijing | Me and Ditan, a tranquil place in Shi Tiesheng's writings

“In a densely populated city, to have such a tranquil place is like a painstaking arrangement by God” Early summer brings a green wonderland, far from the city's noise Lately, it's popular to go to Ditan to 'see the sea' Even though we know there's no sea at Ditan The first person to find a 'sea' at Ditan Must be someone romantic and passionate about life It was raining when I went So I only saw the lotus planted in big pots Walking in Ditan Park on a rainy day Looking at the ancient trees reaching for the sky Smelling the historic aroma of the earth Time becomes soft and slow here Red walls and yellow tiles, the glaze shines brightly The solemnity of Fangze Altar contrasts sharply with the surrounding tranquility In the early morning or evening, a paradise for sports enthusiasts, and a treasure spot for photographers to capture light and shadow How many people came here inspired by Shi Tiesheng's 'Me and Ditan' If you have read it too, then come and see Ditan Park It's a pure land in the noisy city A place that calms and heals 👀Tips ⏰Opening hours: 6:00-22:00 (Entry stops at 21:30) 🎫Park ticket: 2 yuan (excluding Fangze Altar and Huangqi Room, which require an additional 5 yuan for entry) 🚉Take subway line 5 to Yonghegong Station, exit from Exit A and walk 350 meters north to reach 🚉Take subway line 5 to Hepingli East Street Station, and walk 3 minutes to reach the north gate of Ditan Park The Jindingxuan restaurant near the south gate of the park is good, interested parties can go for a nice meal I am: Strolling in Beijing Follow me for a wonderful journey～
