Beijing Zizhuyuan Park is located outside Xizhimen in Beijing. Once you step into this park, it's as if you've entered the kingdom of bamboo. Here, bamboo elements can be seen everywhere. Bamboo pavilions and bamboo kiosks are scattered in an orderly manner, bamboo tables and bamboo chairs are placed around, and even the bridges of various sizes in the park are elaborately decorated with bamboo, full of unique charm.
The magnificent Wind and Rain Bamboo Bridge of the Dong ethnic group's stockade is particularly eye-catching. When tourists stroll on it, they can personally experience the leisurely and carefree mood of the Dong people in Guizhou when they take shelter from the rain and have a rest on the bridge. It seems as if they have traveled thousands of miles away to the Dong ethnic area and appreciated a different ethnic flavor. And the Shangchuan Bridge is even more unique. It is just like a big bamboo boat, with a bamboo awning and bamboo windows, having a unique shape that catches people's eyes. On the lakeside, the Bamboo Market Street built with bamboo is always crowded and bustling. People gather here, sipping tea leisurely while tasting delicious bamboo meals, and they can also choose and buy various bamboo daily necessities and exquisite handicrafts. Such a lively scene further highlights the important position that bamboo occupies in people's lives and also makes people deeply feel the close integration of bamboo culture and daily life.
All kinds of bamboo architectures in the park vividly display the rich and colorful bamboo culture charm of the Chinese nation. Look, the bamboo waterwheel is slowly turning with the sound of gurgling water, as if telling ancient stories. The bamboo raft is moving forward on the lake, and the bamboo poles constantly pushed by the boatman in his hands draw clear water marks on the water surface, adding a bit of dynamic beauty to the calm lake. Sitting in a bamboo sedan chair to experience a different kind of riding fun, or playing diabolo, blowing bamboo tubes can all make people have a great time and immerse themselves in a cheerful atmosphere. What's more interesting is that a large group of people will happily dance the bamboo pole dance following the rhythm of the Miao ethnic group's lusheng. The cheerful dance steps and lively scenes are full of strong ethnic characteristics. And on the stage built with bamboo in the lawn, the song and dance performances of the Bai ethnic group and the Dai ethnic group in Yunnan are also wonderful, attracting a large number of tourists to stop and watch, adding a different artistic atmosphere and ethnic flavor to the whole park.
In addition, from May to July every year is the blooming period of hydrangeas. During this period, the hydrangeas in the park are in full bloom, colorful and gorgeous. If you come here to take pictures wearing plain and elegant clothes, the effect of the pictures taken will be outstanding. Each picture is like a beautiful painting, perfectly integrating people with flowers, nature and humanity, making people reluctant to part with them.
All in all, Beijing Zizhuyuan Park is not only a leisure place full of natural beauty but also a good place where people can deeply appreciate the bamboo culture of the Chinese nation and diverse ethnic customs. It attracts numerous tourists to come here to play and check in.
