[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Youxian Mountain Pavilion (Updated Apr)

#cherryblossom25 Zizhuyuan Park's Youxian Mountain Pavilion (友贤山馆) is like Beijing's own "Little Jiangnan" – currently in full bloom, with a serene and beautiful landscape that feels straight out of a painting. The surroundings are perfect for a peaceful stroll and photography, but if you're aiming for great photos, try to avoid midday when the sunlight is harsh. Opt for soft, elegant, or traditional-style outfits for a classic, picturesque look. Apart from the Youxian Mountain Pavilion, the entire Zizhuyuan Park is lush and full of vibrant greenery at the moment, making it an even more delightful spot to explore and embrace the tranquil vibes of spring. Route Recommendation: Subway: Take Line 16 or Line 4, or Line 9 to National Library Station (国家图书馆站), and exit at Exit F. It’s a 10-minute walk from there. Check the map in the last photo for a clearer route! Perfect for a leisurely day out and a relaxing photo session. 📸🌸 #travel

I saw online that the apricot and plum blossoms in Zizhuyuan were in full bloom, with a Jiangnan-style courtyard, and the apricot and plum blossoms Withered and about to fall, the plum blossoms are delicate, while the apricot is just beginning to flourish There's always a sense of coolness The weather was good again on Sunday, so I rushed over immediately. Seeing that there were a lot of people online, I decided to go early in the morning. As someone from the southern city, I set off at 6:30 am (I wanted to wear Hanfu, but there was no time) I arrived at Zizhuyuan Youxian Mountain House around 8:15 am, and the crowd was manageable, with opportunities for clear shots. The top apricot and plum tree against the wall in the courtyard was starting to fade, but the others were blooming just right ⚠️But there was one problem, it was backlit too early in this courtyard, and taking portraits was actually not quite appropriate. It's all about choices. After 9 am, the crowd started to pick up, and the backlighting eased slightly. After 10 am, I guess there would be one flower per person. To successfully follow the trend, you still need to come early; coming late will definitely diminish the experience 🚌For those who just want to take photos at Youxian Mountain House, take the subway to the National Library Station, get off the subway, and ride a shared bike for 1.1 kilometers to the north gate of Zizhuyuan. The north gate is closest to Youxian Mountain House. Enter the gate and turn left, there are stone steps up the mountain, just follow the road and you'll be there within 5 minutes If you like it, hurry up Youxian Mountain House

The small courtyard in Zizhuyuan with its Jiangnan style features white walls and black tiles, and flowers blooming splendidly. From every angle of the pavilion and corridor design, it's a great spot for photography. Both portraits and landscapes look great under the gallery bridges and among the flowering trees; The key is that it's not crowded! 📍Location: Zizhuyuan - Youxian Mountain House 🎫Admission: Free, no reservation required ⏰Opening Hours: 6:00-20:00 🚇Transport: National Library Subway Station Apricot and plum blossoms in the garden are gradually blooming; This weekend is the most suitable time for photography.
