Move over, cherry blossoms—there’s a new pink sensation in town! Beijing’s Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) is currently blanketed in ethereal pink muhly grass, turning the historic site into a real-life fairy tale. 🌾✨
The fluffy, cotton-candy-like blooms have gone viral on social media, with visitors calling it 'autumn’s answer to a K-pop concert stage.' 📸💖 Perfect for those golden-hour selfies, the grass creates a surreal contrast against the palace’s ancient ruins—a blend of nature’s artistry and human history.
Local guides say the best time to visit is mid-October, when the grass reaches peak pinkness. Pro tip: Weekday mornings = fewer crowds! 🕗🍂 While you’re there, explore the palace’s lakes and pavilions—once the playground of Qing Dynasty emperors.
This seasonal spectacle isn’t just for tourists. Residents of Beijing are flocking to the site, proving that even in a mega-city, nature still writes the best love letters. ❤️🇨🇳
