Are there any fees for Beijing Lotus Pond Park?

Lotus Pond Park is open! The opening date is May 21st, and the renovation of Lotus Pond Park started last year! Lotus Pond Park is divided into two phases: the south side and the west side. The former parking lot and parts of the building have been demolished. For more information about Lotus Pond Park, let’s take a look.

The current situation of Lotus Pond Park

Ticket: only 2.00 yuan is too cheap.

Today’s open area is 48,000 square meters, located on the south side of the park. The Fengtai District Landscaping and Greening Bureau combined the 2008 special action of "Relaxation, Remediation, and Upgrading" with the construction needs of the Lianhuachi Park Historical Park to demolish all illegal construction and illegal parking lots in the southern part of the park. The total expansion area is 86,000 square meters, divided into two parts on the south side. and the west side in two phases.

Currently, 48,000 square meters have been greened in the southern district. The 38,000-square-meter area on the west side of the park is undergoing preliminary work. It is expected that the greening construction will be completed and open to tourists next spring. By then, the Lotus Pond Park will have achieved 96.4% of the total planned area.

The sun is shining brightly, and the underwater plank road on the south side of Lotus Pond Park has blue sky and clear water. Many tourists walk on the underwater plank road and look at the lotus flowers in the water from a distance through the glass curtain wall.

This underwater plank road is connected to the wooden plank road connecting the two banks, and the water sinks in the center of the water. The current water level is only half of the height of the plank road. As the water supply continues to circulate, the water level will be basically the same as the handrails of the underwater plank road. When the water is clear and the grass is green, the public can clearly see the "original ecology" of underwater animals and plants.

From 2010 to 2012, Lotus Park made great efforts in water expansion. Among the newly expanded area of ??48,000 square meters, there are more than 5,000 square meters of light water systems. In addition to the underwater plank road, the new water system of "One Stream and One Pond" is connected to the original water system of the Lotus Pond, forming the largest water area in the southwest of Beijing's central city. The entire water system forms a circulation, which contrasts with the reflections of buildings such as Beijing West Railway Station, forming a blue picture. Green and white picture.

The park also highlights the intensive use of rainwater. The permeable foundation design of the entire area ensures the penetration of rainwater to the maximum extent and collects more than 75% of rainwater, thereby forming a natural cycle and realizing the "Water City ***" melt".

In order to maximize the landscape effect of the park, the expanded area cleverly utilizes the space separated by terrain, streams, plants, and roads, and adopts a landscape design that is different from traditional park design to handle the park's spatial form and further expand the park's spatial form. The green area of ??Lianhuachi Park makes full use of construction waste and natural materials to save various resources to the maximum extent, and consumes more than 20,000 cubic meters of construction waste and plant waste on-site.

The park will “diversify the population.” In the southern district, there are more than 1,400 new trees and shrubs, more than 10,500 shrubs, and more than 10,000 square meters of ground cover, of which more than 80% are native tree species and more than 120 plant species.

In terms of animal populations, there are currently more than 100 species of animals including swans, ducks, birds, frogs, and fish. In the park, the ecological environment of forests and water provides various habitats for birds and small animals.

There is also a brand new AR interactive system in the park. Visitors only need to point their mobile phones at plants to obtain popular science encyclopedia information related to plants. They can also participate in AR treasure hunt games to learn about plants and nature during play, thereby achieving the purpose of popular science education.

New highlights

What kind of people love plants? In April, go to Yuyuantan to enjoy cherry blossoms, Yuandadu to see crabapples, Jingshan to take pictures of peonies, or even go to the Botanical Garden regularly to check in? These places have nice scenery, but are there too many people? Today I would like to recommend you a Mayflower viewing guide, which is to go to Lotus Pond Park to find those forgotten little freshness.

Beijing Imitation Orange

Some people may say that this Taiping flower is nothing special. Very similar to cherry blossoms, pear blossoms, etc. Saw it in early spring. But there is a fundamental difference here: cherry blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, peas

When it comes to roses, many people will think of Valentine's Day. However, nowadays, popular science tweets naming roses are not uncommon. I believe everyone already knows that the so-called "roses" given on Valentine's Day are actually roses. In fact, roses and roses can be easily distinguished. For example, rose thorns are large and sparse, rose burrs are small and dense; rose leaves are large and flat, rose leaves are small and wrinkled, etc.

Hedgehog

The flowering of hedgehog is indeed spectacular, but the reason why it is called hedgehog is because the surface of its fruit is covered with needles, just like a hedgehog.

Zinderella

Speaking of plants in the Caprifoliaceae family, we all know honeysuckle and honeysuckle. Just now we also mentioned the Chinese mitten crab. Here, we have to talk about another common plant, buttercup.
