Yes, this is still Beijing!

Longtan Park in Beijing is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Spread across a sprawling area, the park is a beautiful blend of natural scenery and traditional Chinese design. Its serene lake, dotted with lotus flowers in the summer, is the centerpiece, surrounded by lush greenery, winding pathways, and charming pavilions. I spent hours wandering the park, crossing picturesque stone bridges, and watching locals engage in tai chi, dance, or simply relax by the water. The park also features a small amusement area, making it a hit with families, as well as open spaces perfect for picnics or flying kites.

What I loved most was the sense of tranquility—despite being in the heart of Beijing, Longtan Park feels like a world away. Whether you’re looking to unwind, take a scenic walk, or soak in a slice of local life, this park is a must-visit. It’s a refreshing retreat that showcases the quieter, more contemplative side of the city. 🌳✨
