Yuyuantan park is one of 1 1 municipal parks, located in Haidian District, with convenient transportation. The east gate is adjacent to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse; West to West Third Ring Road faces the CCTV Building across the road; The south gate is just north of China Millennium Monument, and the north is connected with the Navy General Hospital.
As early as the Jin Dynasty, it was a scenic spot in the northwest suburb of Jinzhong. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the rivers here were winding and had water town scenery. In the meantime, feudal literati pursued seclusion and elegance, such as "respecting nymphs" and "fishing songs". In the thirty-eighth year of Qing Qianlong, the famous Xiangshan water diversion project excavated Yuyuantan water system, and sand birds and water birds gathered, which made the landscape of Xiao Shuang full of vitality.
1960, yuyuantan park was officially named by the Beijing Municipal Government. After years of construction and ownership change, a new type of municipal comprehensive park has gradually formed, which has been designated as AAA-level scenic spot because of its few historical sites. The east-west width of the park is 1820m, and the north-south length is1/06m, with a total planned area of 136.69 hectares, of which the water area is 6 1 hectare, and 74.44 hectares of green space (including lawns) have been built, with a green coverage rate of over 95%. There are about 65438 kinds of plants in the park.
At present, the main attractions of the park include the cherry blossom garden in the west, the Fenhu scenic spot in the north (partially completed), Zhongshan Island in the south and Liu Chunyuan in the east. The vast water and long mountains here, the unique environment and the small history of large-scale construction in modern times have made poplar trees, weeping willows by the water and lush aquatic plants on the lake stand on the mountain. At present, the "cherry blossom viewing party" held in the park every spring is quite famous in China, with more than 2,000 cherry blossoms gathered in the "cherry blossom garden". In the spring breeze, the trees are blushing and covered with snow, and the people enjoying flowers are like surging spring water, which has become a unique scenery in the early spring of Beijing. The winter swimming in the 1970s and 1980s and the "anti-cancer paradise" in the 1990s are also widely known.
Over the past 40 years, the rapid development of urban construction, the prosperity of surrounding high-rise buildings and the endless busy traffic have formed a sharp contrast with the clear water in two pools and the leisurely schools in the park. Today, with richer life, more modern cities and more ambitious goals, the green around us is particularly precious and peaceful. In the future, buildings that live in harmony with nature will be the same style of parks.
Sakura Garden:
In the northwest of the park, near the bustling West Third Ring Road, there is a garden with mountains running through the east and west, winding roads and green waterfront. It is the garden in which cherry blossoms are in full bloom. 1989 started construction with the adjacent TV tower, with a total area of 25 hectares.
1973 Spring, 180 Japanese cherry trees, a gift tree symbolizing Sino-Japanese friendship, were planted near the mountains and rivers. In the 1980s, flowers gradually became known. Later, gardeners planted late cherry trees and their own Japanese cherry saplings around. Around 1990, the park began to decorate the landscape on a large scale, and eight varieties were introduced from Northeast China, Shandong and other provinces one after another, and more than 3,000 cherry blossoms were planted in the park. Here is now the witness of cherry blossom culture and Sino-Japanese friendship. There is a tribute stone carving with the theme of Bing Xin at the entrance to the west gate. There are many adopted and planted memorial trees near the west gate; There are pine trees planted by Prime Minister Obuchi in the back hill a few days ago.
Today, the garden is lush with Metasequoia glyptostroboides, bamboo streams and patches of pink cherry blossoms in spring. Simple and harmonious architectural modeling and seasonal phases of different plants make the garden have different styles in each season.
The scenic spots in the park, such as "Chunxiao Sakura Pool", "Yingzhou Qiushui", "Liuqiao Reflecting the Moon" and "Deep in the Cloud Creek", all take the grass and trees of nature as the protagonists. The cherry blossom viewing season is crowded with people. The cherry blossom garden in April is full of tourists and bustling everywhere. The fresh poetry of traveling in a pictorial world can only be felt when it is wet and hazy everywhere in the rain. Walking on the willow embankment in the hot evening, the sunset and cicada singing can make people feel cool and precious. In winter, it is easier to feel cold and deep.
The waterside pavilion "Sakura Garden" on the east side of Sakura Garden, now also called "Pinming Pavilion", is the pleasure of experiencing leisure in the East: chatting while drinking tea and listening to insects. Close to the west gate waterfront, next to the cruise terminal is a newly opened coffee shop with rich fragrance and light passenger flow, which is the best place for upstarts to pursue western-style romance and fashion. Watching lotus, listening to birds, looking for insects, watching fish, making friends, exercising, singing or enjoying peace here is a suitable place for busy people in the city to relax and decompress.
200 1 0,400 cherry blossoms were adjusted and supplemented, and named Yoshino, making Ximen and Shannan areas a place to watch early cherry blossoms. This is the most famous variety of the Japanese nation. Although it is a single white flower, it can grow into a big tree, with flowers like clouds and flowers like snow. There are mainly 14 kinds of cherry blossoms here, such as Dashan Sakura, Shanyue Sakura, Yoshinomori Sakura, Sage Sakura, Oshima Oshima, Hangzao Sakura, Oshima, Guanshan, Ye Yi, Pu Xian, Kirin, Songyue, Youming and Yujin. In 2002, new varieties such as Sichuan, Nandian, Taibai and Meilijian were added to the tree planting activities marking the 30th anniversary of China-Japan friendship. There are also green cherry blossoms, which are not very ornamental, but always open in advance. Some old trees grow well, precious mountain cherry trees are becoming sparse, and more furry new cherry trees support the landscape. In this new and old era, there are nearly 2,000 cherry blossoms, which of course can't catch up with Japan, a cherry blossom country with thousands of years of historical achievements.
Liu Chunyuan:
Liu Chunyuan was built in 1983, located in the east of yuyuantan park, with an area of 16300 square meters. This is a beautiful and quiet garden with an open lawn in the center, surrounded by pavilions and tall trees, flowers and trees that can be enjoyed in all seasons.
The frescoes at the south entrance are brightly colored, spliced and pasted by extraordinary porcelain tiles fired at high temperature, showing the moving image of "spring of life, youth and science". Entering from the east gate, two rows of begonia trees are like stacked flower galleries, which have a unique charm under walking; The sculpture of "Miss Liu Chun" on the opposite side is particularly eye-catching. She is a girl sitting on a rock in the water, playing the flute to attract geese, leaving people with the meaning of spring and loving the beauty of spring. On the right, there is a rattan frame leading to the open hall. The bamboo shadow behind the hall reflects the wall, surrounded by flower ponds. Located in the southwest corner, the Four Corners Pavilion is the highest point of climbing Range Rover in Liu Chun Garden, where you can have a panoramic view of the spring scenery of Liu Chun Garden. The fan house in the west is a place for fans to get together.
Garden structure is rigorous, corridors, pavilions, halls and shelves are arranged orderly, and spring is collected in the garden by subtle means. The earliest design adopted the method of rising first and restraining first, so that there was no entrance in the southeast corner. This is also the masterpiece of Tan Xin, a famous landscape architect in Beijing. But there are many changes now. I don't know if you think spring is good, or it's more interesting to stabilize your appetite first and then raise it. Now many flowering shrubs have reached the age of renewal, and spring seems to be hard.
In early spring, forsythia suspensa, Yingchun and Magnolia grandiflora are open at different stages, and the spring scenery is full of vitality. Spring is coming back, and the blooming roses, wisteria and roses make the spring scenery undiminished, showing the artistic conception of "staying in spring". We hope that the tourists who come here will always be young, and we hope that the flowers will become more colorful every year.
Zhongshan Island:
Zhongshan Island is located in the southwest of the park. It is a long and narrow hillside between Bayi Lake and West Lake. It is 800 meters long and 80 meters wide. It is a mountain ridge with ups and downs and different widths, which runs through the east and west. It is a barrier formed by several river and lake excavation projects in history, which spans between Yuyuantan and Bayi Lake and is called Zhongshan Island. The hill near the middle dike is the commanding height of the park, and there is an antique double-eaves pavilion. There is a monument to China's young heroes in the west. In the early 1990s, the whole terrain was transformed, which improved the tourism value of this area. On the south side is the "Bayi Lake" pier upstream of the water.
Shunting lake:
In the northeast of the park, there is a quiet lake area, which used to be a forest storage area with lush vegetation. With the construction of Park Ring Road, this 9.5-hectare low-lying forest area was backfilled and rebuilt on a large scale in 1997 and 98. The scenic water system comes from East Lake to Diaoyutai. The northern part is gentle and open, with cedars, ginkgo biloba, tall and straight poplars and other trees as the mainstay, scattered on the open lawn, along the road around the lake on the north side of the park, accompanied by flowering shrubs such as begonia, which has a very sparse forest and grassland style in the 1990s.
The American ornamental tree begonia planted here in April is the second most beautiful scenery of begonia planted in the north, and it has become another highlight of the park in the current spring activities. At present, the scenic spot has not been finally completed, and the facilities such as the garden road sprinkler building in the middle are still lacking. But it is already a leisure scenic spot with pleasant scenery, natural tranquility and good ecology. Fishing can be done in this area at present. & gt
