Spring has officially burst into bloom at Beijing’s iconic Summer Palace, where peach blossoms along Kunming Lake’s West Causeway have transformed the historic site into a pastel paradise. The flowers, framing the lake’s shimmering waters and centuries-old pavilions, create a scene straight out of a classical painting—but with a modern twist: visitors are flocking to snap selfies amid the petals.
Once the playground of emperors, the UNESCO-listed Summer Palace now buzzes with photographers, families, and influencers capturing the “pink snow” effect of falling petals. Locals say this year’s bloom is especially vibrant, blending nature’s artistry with the garden’s legendary architecture—think willow branches brushing against candy-pink blossoms.
Pro tip: The best views are at dawn, when soft light bathes the Marble Boat and Seventeen-Arch Bridge. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or just here for the ’gram, this floral spectacle proves spring in Beijing is *chef’s kiss*.
