Step into a golden wonderland this autumn at Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park, where ginkgo and maple trees paint the sprawling greenspace in fiery reds and sunlit yellows. Locals and visitors alike flock to this urban oasis to soak up seasonal magic, snapping ~Insta-worthy~ photos and enjoying crisp afternoon strolls.
Top Spots for Fall Vibes
Head to the park’s northern section for a tunnel of golden ginkgo trees that glow like natural chandeliers. South Lake offers reflective waters doubling the foliage’s beauty – perfect for meditation or paddle boating. Pro tip: Weekday mornings are quieter for those dreamy solo shots!
Beyond the Leaves
Join tai chi groups at sunrise, rent bikes to cruise tree-lined paths, or hunt for art installations blending nature and culture. Food vendors serve warm chestnuts and sweet hawthorn treats to fuel your adventure.
Why it matters: As temperatures drop, this free public space becomes Beijing’s living postcard – proving cities and nature can thrive together.
