As autumn vibes settle in, the Double Ninth Festival (Chongyang Festival) brings a sea of chrysanthemums to Beihai Park in Beijing 🌼
This year, the 2025 Beijing Chrysanthemum Cultural Festival is next level: for the first time, Beijing teams up with Tianjin, Hebei and Henan regions to showcase over 600 chrysanthemum varieties in a mega joint exhibition. Think biotech meets tradition – breeders have been cross-breeding new color combos and shapes that could rival any art installation 🎨
Stroll among 40,000 pots of these native perennials, each arranged like its own mini art piece. Sculptural bonsai trees turn flower beds into living paintings, where every bloom flexes its unique elegance. From dainty pompon shapes to bold spider petals, there is a style for every insta-shot or chilled afternoon wander 📸✨
Whether you are into plantfluencing or just need a zen break from your fast-paced scroll, this festival is for you. Gather your crew, breathe in that crisp autumn air and get lost in a colorful wonderland—no filters needed 🌈
