The  21st Magnolia Blossom Festival and the inaugural Beijing Shijingshan  Garden Festival kicked off on March 29 at Beijing International  Sculpture Park and will continue until April 5.

During  the opening ceremony of the two events, the 90-year-old Kuang Tingyun, a  renowned botanist and a nationwide famous academician of the Chinese  Academy of Sciences, provided insights into flowers and sunlight.

China  Post Group, in collaboration with Shijingshan District, jointly  releases commemorative envelopes featuring the elements of magnolia  flowers.

Citizens  can appreciate the most comprehensive variety of magnolia flowers in  Beijing. From March 29 to April 5, at 11:00, 14:00, and 17:00 daily, key  opinion leaders (KOLs) dressed in Hanfu (traditional clothing of the  Han ethnic group) will tour the park, like the fairies in the old  legends. Also, visitors wearing Hanfu can enter the park for free!

There  are also unique activities such as magnolia-themed painting,  magnolia-shaped ice cream, as well as science popularization and  interactive activities, and those for cultural tourism consumption.
