In the warm spring, Beijing's municipal parks, including the Summer Palace, Beihai Park, and Yuyuantan Park, are adorned with early spring flowers like wintersweet, winter jasmine, and magnolia, all unfurling gently in the breeze.

The period from mid-March to early May, covering three solar terms - Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness and Grain Rain - is the best time for outings and flower appreciation. Beijing's municipal parks are brimming with vitality, with various spring flower-viewing seasons, cultural exhibitions, popular science activities, and limited-edition spring-themed creative activities about to kick off.

Spring is in the air of the China National Botanical Garden (North Garden).
