Beijing Transforms Urban Space Into Floral Fantasy
Haidian Park in Beijing has become a living tribute to Claude Monet’s iconic water lily paintings this week, blurring the lines between art and nature. 🌿 Visitors are flocking to snap selfies amid 30 vibrant 'citizen gardens' featuring 127 types of plants—from peonies to exotic imports—arranged like brushstrokes across the park.
Why It’s a Must-Visit
The installation, running through May 16, offers free entry and has become a hotspot for families, influencers, and anyone craving a dose of #cottagecore vibes. One visitor, college student Li Mei, told us: 'It’s like stepping into a filter—but better, because you can smell the jasmine!'
Art Meets Sustainability
Organizers say the event highlights urban green spaces' role in city life while showcasing botanical diversity. Pro tip: Visit at sunset for golden-hour lighting that Monet himself would’ve envied. 📸
