Don't miss the three annual flower festivals in Beijing that are coming around the corner, namely the Peach Blossom Festival in the Botanic Gardens, the Cherry Blossom Festival in Yuyuantan Park, and the Chinese Crabapple Flower Festival in Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park. Cherry blossom in Yuyuantan features 1,000 cherry species transported from Japan 32 years ago when the late Japanese prime minister, Kakuei Tanaka, visited China.
The 20th cherry blossom festival in Yuyuantan Park will be held starting from March 22 to the end of April.
