Invite friends to enjoy Haitang SMS.

The east wind is full of worship, and the fragrant fog turns to the corridor.

I was afraid that the flowers would fall asleep in the middle of the night, so I lit candles and put on red makeup.

-"Haitang" Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty

Begonia flowers are charming and charming, with natural and unrestrained flower posture, like rouge dots, like dawn. This is a famous flower that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. Known as the "national beauty and fragrance", it is also known as the "fairy among flowers", "noble among flowers" and "flower for explaining language". "The snow lake is covered with brocade, which accounts for the most romantic color in spring." "Cherish your heart, don't spit lightly, and teach peaches and plums to be spring breeze." On the occasion of the arrival of the most beautiful April day in the world, begonia flowers are in full bloom. In Beijing, apart from the Yuan Dadu Ruins Park, Soong Ching Ling's former residence, the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City and Fayuan Temple, there is no other place to enjoy Begonia flowers in spring.

1. Haidu Ruins Park Haitang Huaxi

In Beijing Yuandadu Ruins Park, Xiaoyue flows quietly, with trees on both sides. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it coincides with the flowering season of begonia, and the flowers are chic and gorgeous. It can be said that the green willow dances with the purple swallow, and the red flower kisses the sunny day shyly. The water here is Ming Che and the sun is shining. Xiaoyuehe also got a very literary name: Haitang Huaxi.

Xiaoyue River, also known as Tuchenggou, is said to be the northern moat of Beijing in the Yuan Dynasty, which divided the Begonia forest into two parts. The river is shallow and quiet, and the charming weeping willows and begonia flowers on both sides constitute an ecological feast!

Haitang Huaxi is not only a national A-level scenic spot, but also the largest Haitang forest in Beijing. There are more than 5,000 varieties of begonia trees in Huaxi, such as Xifu Begonia, Sticky Begonia, Papaya Begonia, Tripterygium Wilfordii, etc., as well as Zuige Begonia, Adam Begonia, Snowball Begonia, Royal Begonia, Gem Begonia, Kelsi Begonia, Amber Begonia, Indian Magic Begonia, Pink-toothed Begonia, North American Begonia and so on. The west area is mainly Xifu Begonia and Snowball Begonia.

Standing on the wall of Tucheng, the former Jinge Iron Horse is still in sight. The quietly flowing Xiaoyue River tells the historical clouds, while the begonia on both sides of the strait is full of vitality, revealing the joy of the new era.

Since 1998, the "Begonia Flower Festival" has been held in Chengyuan Ruins Park in the Yuan Dynasty, and now it is called the three major flower viewing activities in Beijing together with the Peach Blossom Festival and Yuyuantan Cherry Blossom Festival in Xiangshan Botanical Garden.

2. Soong Ching Ling's former residence

"Haitang Garden looks for spring scenery and recommends red and fragrant every day." Song Qingling's former residence has a long history of enjoying begonia flowers. When two nearly 300-year-old Xifu Begonia plants were in full bloom in the hospital, it also opened the prelude to the Begonia Culture Festival in Soong Ching Ling's former residence.

Soong Ching Ling's former residence is located at No.46, the northern edge of Houhai, Xicheng District, Beijing. It was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and later it was the Spring Palace Garden. There are two strains of Xifu Begonia in the garden, which bloom around 10 every April. In the flowering season, flowers are better than snow, and clouds are steaming, which is a great scenic spot in Beijing.

Soong Ching Ling often invites friends to enjoy flowers in the courtyard when begonia is in full bloom. When the fruit is ripe, use it to make begonia sauce and share it with the staff around you.

The stars have changed, the Sri Lankan has left, and the two Xifu begonia in the former residence are still radiant. Flowers bloom in spring, full of green in summer, fruitful in autumn, and affectionate in winter. Nowadays, the annual Haitang Flower Culture Festival in the former residence has become an excellent place for people to enjoy flowers and miss great people.

3. Cultural Temple in the Forbidden City

A palace warms the spring breeze, and flowers accompany me all my life! When the 600-year-old Forbidden City meets the spring of April, it will be so beautiful that people can't speak, and the walls are all pink. Who will be in the deep courtyard? At this time, the most beautiful thing in the Forbidden City is not the palace, but the colorful flowers dotted beside it.

Begonia is one of the most widely planted palace flowers and trees, and it is also the most delicate flower in the Forbidden City.

Nowadays, there are many places to watch begonia in the Forbidden City, but the begonia outside the Wenhua Hall is the most touching. Maybe it's a book of letters and ink. At this time of the year, begonia flowers are as gorgeous as colorful clouds. Against the backdrop of red walls and yellow tiles, it adds a bit of agility. Begonia recorded in front of Wenhua Hall in the late Qing Dynasty has a history of 120 years. Later, people in the Forbidden City planted begonia on a large scale from Concord Gate to Donghuamen South in front of Wenhua Hall, forming today's Begonia Flower Sea. Deep red palace walls and bright yellow roof tiles, in the late spring, the buds are falling and fragrant, as bright as red clouds and as charming as fine snow, with flowers like flowers, butterfly calyx, sunset glow and a thousand flowers on a tree.

In April, a bamboo wall, a corner of the eaves of the palace, with a quiet begonia tree in the middle, is full of fragrance, waiting to bloom.

4. Taoranting Park

In the works of poets and painters, begonia is charming but not effeminate, and is endowed with the auspicious meaning of happiness and beauty. During the Zhenyuan period of Dezong in the Tang Dynasty (AD 785-805), Jia Dan, the prime minister, praised Haitang as a "fairy among flowers" in the Book of Flowers, and Gong Zizhen also praised Haitang as "a flower of hundreds of generations, which is the flower of Xuannan". "There is no such flower in the south, and the north is fat and the south is thin."

Begonia has a certain origin in Xuannan history. Taoranting Park, as the carrier of Xuannan culture, has held a spring flower viewing cultural season with Haitang as the main theme every April since 20 1 1. This year, in the 6th spring flower culture season of Haitang in Taoranting Park, gorgeous, royal, abundant, snow pendant, Louisa, Indian magic, ruby and other ornamental varieties of Haitang were planted, and Yizhou Haitang bonsai with ruby, emerald and colorful varieties was placed in the famous Chinese Pavilion Garden. At the same time, landscape nodes featuring begonia will be built in Yixin Pavilion and Xiehu Bridge. There are forsythia, honeysuckle and early flowering lilacs in the forest.

In April, the shallow flow of the park lake, together with the green weeping willows and begonia safflower on the shore, outlined a vibrant and colorful "begonia flower sea". Strolling through Taoranting Park, a tree is full of flowers, full of fragrance and poetry.

5. Fayuan Temple

Many temples planted begonia in Qing Dynasty, and these places became a good place for Beijingers to enjoy begonia flowers in spring. Fayuan Temple, now famous for lilacs, is also widely known for Haitang.

Fayuan Temple, also known as Benzhong Temple, is located at the southern end of Jiaozi Hutong in Xicheng. It is one of the oldest existing Buddhist temples in Beijing. Qin Dazun, a native of Jingui County (now Wuxi, Jiangsu Province), said in Poems for Eliminating Cold: "The Haitang in Fayuan Temple in Shi Jing is the most abundant, and the rest are worthy of rest, so I went swimming after breakfast. I was afraid that the big monk would come, but I didn't see the big monk. I went to sit under the Haitang tree in the outer garden. " From the last years of Qianlong to Jiaqing, the begonia in Fayuan Temple was still famous. In Yanghe Lake (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province), Hong wrote a poem: "The two trees of begonia are strange, the flowers are red and white, the color is extremely red and white, and the afternoon is still bright." In his diary written on the seventh day of April in the 21st year of Jiaqing (18 16), Mr. Lin Zexu also mentioned "seeing begonia in Fayuan Temple": "Visitors along the way when leaving the city, then go back to Fayuan Temple to see begonia lilacs."

A Fayuan Temple, half the history of China! One hall and one pavilion are all traces of historical erosion. Nowadays, Haitang is not as famous as Lilac, but it also has its own fragrance, which is boundless. In spring, the sun is shining, and I am walking on the fragrant road of the ancient temple. The flowers and trees in front of me are like clouds, and the halls are densely covered, as if they were in a fairyland.
