The "Sea" of Ditan: A Healing Secret Hidden Beneath the Imperial City

Who says there’s no sea in Beijing? At the end of the ginkgo avenue in Ditan Park lies a "sea" dyed by autumn colors—a large lawn beside Fangzetan. When the afternoon sun shines down, the grass waves ripple like blue waves, and the dappled shadows of the trees shimmer like scattered gold.

Stroll through it, listen to the rustling of the wind through ancient cypress trees, watch sparrows hopping on the branches, and for a moment, it feels like being in a seaside town. Find a bench to sit on, hold a cup of hot tea, watch the clouds roll by, and let your worries drift away with the falling leaves.

Photo tip: Wear light-colored clothes and shoot against the light to capture the interplay of grass waves and tree shadows, instantly creating a cinematic atmosphere! Also, a telephoto lens is needed to capture the full vibe of Ditan’s sea.

Location: Andingmen Outer Street, Dongcheng District. Admission is 2 yuan. Few people, beautiful scenery, autumn-only romance—come quickly to claim this "sea"!
