A treasure trove of international style baby walks in Beijing

The streets and alleys of Beijing have their fair share of commercial fireworks, but they also have a romantic atmosphere. So do those Western-style buildings left over from history, or the exotic attractions built later. Very attractive.

Today, let’s talk about the “foreign-style” check-in places in Beijing. It is quiet and has few people. You can walk around leisurely and experience the surprise of the collision of Chinese and Western cultures.

New niche French-style manor

I am afraid no one cares about the inconspicuous Siyuan Bridge, but in such a small place, a \”French-style manor\” quietly appeared Manor\”. I think I have visited all the parks in Beijing, but I have never discovered Jingshunyuan Park, so I have to put it first.

This small park suddenly became popular, mainly because of a French-style building in the park and the pine trees next to it. The white and elegant small western-style building stands on the neat lawn, like a unique private villa, which is very eye-catching.

The artistic pine tree next to it is even more joyful, as it looks like the pine tree in the Pine Art Museum. I wonder if it has been specially trimmed to look like an enlarged version of a bonsai. It is particularly eye-catching and beautiful against the white walls of the western-style building. This scene alone sets the romantic tone of the park.

The greening in the park is quite good. The large lawns and the strong and powerful trees are like the family manor in the movie. It reminds me of the scene of an aristocratic girl sitting under the tree and reading a book.

There are also many flowers and fruit trees in the park. Rows of endless summer hydrangeas in full bloom, with a girly look in purple and pink. The lush orange sky flowers dotted among the lush greenery make the woods look gentler. There are also apple trees and peach trees, all of them are attractive. I really want to taste this fresh taste.

Along the forest path, we came to a pond, which was a lively scene. waterThe waves are rippling, the birds are singing, and a family of fat and white ducks are strolling or combing their hair, enjoying the beauty of their own yard. Graceful lotus flowers are planted in the pond, giving this French-style manor a touch of Chinese charm.

The beautiful scenery of the West in Dongjiaomin Alley

Speaking of ways to spend the weekend, going to the market is definitely an indispensable activity. Although many outdoor markets are now suspended, There will always be a day when the market reopens after the epidemic eases. You must have heard of Powa Market. It is the largest and liveliest open-air market in Beijing. Dozens of stalls gather here, offering all kinds of food, drink and entertainment. It is super literary and artistic.

This famous market location is right in front of the former site of the Belgian Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane. People can dance, drink and have fun on the lawn of the embassy and spend a happy weekend.

The former site of the Belgian Embassy outside the market is also very exciting. Almost coffee1910 cafe is always open to the public. We can experience the feeling of \”having afternoon tea in the embassy\”.

Reserve the courtyard Brunch package in advance. Not only can you enjoy the warm and casual brunch of the embassy, ​​but you can also follow the staff to visit the internal environment of the old embassy site and learn about every corner of the former embassy. Such an experience It’s something special in Beijing.

Let’s talk about the environment here. European medieval-style buildings, large green lawns, and a retro European-style fountain. Such a foreign-style scene does not look like Beijing. It\’s downtown, I feel like I can come and play dress-up games.

Since it is in Dongjiaomin Lane, this kind of Western beauty is not only the former site of the Belgian Embassy, ​​but also the St. Michael Catholic Church, the former site of Zhengjin Bank, the Chinese Court Museum, and the former sites of embassies of other countries. The whole alley is full of Western-style buildings, and you can see enough at one time.

The \”Downton Abbey\” hidden next to the Summer Palace

Yuyuanhui is a place where you can eat. There are Chinese, Western, Cantonese and other cuisines, but I believe 90% of them Guests don\’t come here just for the food. After all, its environment is more attractive than the dishes on the table.

It is known as the \”Downton Abbey\” at the foot of Yuquan Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a unique natural environment, and has a British manor architectural style, which is elegant and quiet. In fact, very few people come to dine on weekdays, so it feels like a private manor, and the guests are the temporary owners of the manor. Isn’t it very similar to the drama?

The restaurant is also in a retro style, with crystal chandeliers, tall square windows and thick curtains. There are fresh flowers on the table, and the sunlight shining in makes it look like an oil painting. Sitting in front of the window and looking out, there is a garden scene of towering trees.

In addition to the main body of the building, you must go to the back garden. This area is very beautiful. In front of the European-style fountain is a flat and spacious lawn, which is also paired with a clean swimming pool. The panoramic view from a height is even more amazing. pretty.

If you want to choose a good place to have afternoon tea, Yuyuanhui is really a good choice.You can reserve a seat in advance and order on the spot, or you can book a set meal in advance.

The Roman Garden in the North Third Ring Road

I have known Rending Lake Park for more than two or three years, but when it comes to the \”foreign flavor\” theme, I have to invite it out. Among the foreign-style buildings in the capital, Rending Lake Park is by no means the most luxurious and beautiful, but it is certainly the most well-known and is sought after by thousands of bloggers as a good place for filming.

The park was founded in 1958 and is considered a well-established park. Part of it is a modern garden style, and part of it is a Roman-style garden landscape composed of lawns, sculptures, flower stands, and water features. Because of this unique temperament, the movie \”Party A and Party B\” was also filmed here.

The columned cloister is equipped with a hollow roof, surrounded by lush trees. The light and shadow from the sun hit the cloister, as if going back in time to the ancient Roman period full of classical atmosphere. Seeing the shadows of different styles of gardens from all over the world, including the Garden of Babylon, the Palace of Versailles, and the Italian Garden, which style do you like?

The white flower gallery in the park is also a popular photo spot. It is covered with green ivy, hanging gourds and beans, and the heart-shaped wrought iron gate, which is a unique scene. .

The sunken square with the lawn is a good place for children to run around. The exquisite character statues and retro fountains around it are full of fairy tale colors, and it feels like walking into Renaissance Europe, and there are so many A little sense of historical relics.
