Beijing's only free 5A forest park (flower viewing schedule included).

Olympic Forest Park is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, east to Anli Road, west to Lincui Road, north to Qinghe, and south to Kehui Road. The park covers an area of 680 hectares, which is about 10 times the size of the Forbidden City. The North Fifth Ring Road runs through the middle of the park, dividing it into the South Park and the North Park. The South Park covers an area of 380 hectares, and the North Park covers an area of 300 hectares. The park is rich in forest resources, mainly various types of trees and shrubs, with a greening coverage rate of up to 95.61%, and a water area of 67.7 hectares. It is known as the "natural oxygen bar" and the "ecological green lung" in the northern part of Beijing. Olympic Forest Park is divided into two parts, the South Park and the North Park. The South Park and the North Park are separated by the Fifth Ring Road, and a bridge across the North Fifth Ring Road connects the two parks. The South Park is dominated by large-scale natural landscapes, among which the most famous landscapes are "Yangshan" and "Ao Sea" on the north central axis; the North Park is dominated by small streams, wild flower fields, and natural dense forests. In the Olympic Forest Park, urban landscapes and natural landscapes are perfectly integrated, together creating a picture of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Olympic Forest Park is a large green ecological space with flowers in three seasons and scenery in four seasons. Here, "blue and green are intertwined" and "forest and water depend on each other". No matter which season, being in the vast forest of the Olympic Forest Park will make people feel like they are "traveling in a painting". The Olympic Forest Park has flowers in three seasons. From the blooming peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Valley in early spring to the chrysanthemum sea in the "Flower Field Wild Fun" in October, there are flowers to enjoy in spring, summer, and autumn. The author has specially compiled a "Olympic Forest Park Annual Flower Viewing Guide" for your reference: Peach Blossom: Mid to late March Peach Blossom Valley in the North Park February Orchid: Mid to late April Near the north gate of the South Park Hydrangea: Early May Near the west gate of the South Park Rose: Mid to late May Outside the east gate of the North Park Sunflower: Mid to late July Flower Field Wild Fun in the North Park Lotus: July to August Wetland in the South Park Eupatorium: August to October Flower Field Wild Fun in the North Park Sulfur Chrysanthemum: Mid to late September West slope of Yangshan in the South Park Pink Muhly Grass: September to October Flower Field Wild Fun in the North Park Chrysanthemum: September to October Flower Field Wild Fun in the North Park Olympic Forest Park is an important legacy of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It witnessed the dream and glory of Beijing, the "Double Olympic City", and was once the largest urban park in Beijing and the largest urban greening landscape in Asia. Today, although it is no longer the largest park in Beijing, as an important ecological barrier in the northern part of Beijing, it is still an ideal choice for Beijing citizens to relax and exercise, and it plays an irreplaceable important role in the construction of ecological civilization in the capital as a public welfare scenic spot.
