Beijing is having a flower moment! 🌸 As the city transforms its green spaces into vibrant floral wonderlands, locals and tourists alike are flocking to parks like the Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven Park to snap selfies with peonies, cherry blossoms, and lotus flowers. \"It’s like Instagram IRL,\" says 24-year-old resident Li Mei, holding a chrysanthemum-themed bubble tea.
City planners have dialed up the petal power this year, creating immersive flower displays that blend traditional Chinese garden designs with neon-lit installations for that ✨aesthetic vibe✨. Budding entrepreneurs are cashing in too – think sakura lattes, magnolia-scented candles, and peony-themed streetwear.
\"This isn’t just about flowers – it’s a cultural reset,\" says botanist Dr. Zhang Wei. \"Young people are reconnecting with nature through these shared experiences.\"
