At noon, we arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain. The simple villagers had already brewed Longquan tea and prepared farmhouse meals. When you come here, you must taste the free-range chickens from Xinghua Village and its surroundings. The taste is incomparable to ordinary supermarket chickens. You can also dig up some wild mountain vegetables to relieve the greasiness in your stomach. In the afternoon, we learned that there was a tree planting activity going on in Phoenix Ridge Park. All the land had been cultivated, and each of us enthusiastically planted a tree.
Haidian District has numerous historical sites and a profound cultural heritage. It also features modern scientific and educational tourism resources represented by Zhongguancun Haidian Park and prestigious universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University. On weekends, you can take a boat along the Kunyu River scenic corridor or drive to the nearby Great Western Mountain for a taste of rural charm.
The flowering season at Phoenix Ridge
In March, as the weather improves, if you drive with your family straight to Phoenix Ridge. At this time, the thousand-acre apricot flower forest bursts into bloom with vibrant flowers. The pale pink blossoms fill the trees and branches, layer upon layer, brimming with signs of spring everywhere.
Zheng Tao, Deputy Director of the Haidian District Tourism Bureau in Beijing, introduced that Haidian will launch a series of rich seasonal tourism festivals themed around colorful spring, pleasant summer, dazzling autumn, and joyful winter. These festivals include fashionable leisure, cultural experience, rural tourism, and ecological fitness activities. Among the main events are the flower appreciation and spring outings in various scenic spots during the spring, such as the mountain flower festival at Xiangshan and Baiwang Mountain, the magnolia festival at Dajuesi Temple, the cherry blossom festival at Yuyuantan Park, and the apricot flower festival at Phoenix Ridge. Following these will be the first Science and Education Tourism Festival, leading everyone into various universities, high-tech industrial parks, and Olympic venues so people can experience technological innovation and the unique styles of different campuses. Later in the year, the second Great Western Mountain Autumn Tourism Mountain Climbing Festival will be a highlight, where you can not only climb mountains and admire leaves but also enjoy the fun of rural tourism. Traditional tourism festivals like the lotus flower festival and red leaf festival will continue to innovate, aiming to achieve "monthly highlights, seasonal wonders."
