Autumn flowers are now in full bloom in the parks across Beijing, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the season's romantic colors.

The 5th Chrysanthemum Exhibition at the China National Botanical Garden (North Garden)

The 5th Chrysanthemum Exhibition at the China National Botanical Garden (North Garden) covers more than 20,000 square meters and features over 200,000 autumn ornamental plants, including both in-ground and potted varieties. The main exhibition area, west of the Plant Museum (科普馆), is filled with colorful flowers on display. Visitors can admire a wide range of chrysanthemum flowers, as well as scenic ornaments made from garden waste — illustrating the eco-friendly idea of "turning waste into scenery".

The 4th Chrysanthemum Culture Festival at Taoranting Park is now in full swing. Themed flower beds line the route from the East Gate to the North Gate, with chrysanthemum flowers in a variety of colors in full bloom.

In front of Cuiwei Pavilion at Fragrant Hills Park, more than 900 square meters of chrysanthemum plants are blooming with tiny golden flowers and dainty leaves. Fenglin Village has a 700-square-meter flower meadow, where small chrysanthemum flowers, pearl millet and crabapple blossoms sway in the breeze.

A newly developed green space just south of the East Gate of Zizhuyuan Park is filled with colorful pompon chrysanthemum flowers. Along the paths, the blossoms form a meandering belt of colors.
In the Paiyun Hall area of the Summer Palace, chrysanthemum flowers are arranged with classical display stands and distinctive containers, bringing autumn colors and traditional charm together. The Gengzhitu scenic area features Chinese-style floral landscapes, providing a new scene at every turn along the path.

The chrysanthemum exhibitions at the Temple of Heaven Park, Beihai Park and Zizhuyuan Park are set to open soon. Hundreds of varieties will be on display to add dazzling colors to Beijing's autumn.
