Beijing Botanical Garden Cherry Valley

　　  Cherry Valley is located northwest of the Reclining Buddha Temple, also known as the Botanical Garden’s Cherry Valley. It is a natural stream valley within the garden. During the Ming Dynasty, cherry trees were planted abundantly along the mountain streams, hence the name Cherry Valley. Today, in addition to cherry trees, there are also apricot, peach, winter jasmine, crabapple, peony, and peony flowers blooming in succession according to the season. The murmuring stream creates an idyllic, otherworldly atmosphere.

　　  The terrain of Cherry Valley is distributed in a dendritic pattern. Winters are not harsh and summers are not scorching, with moist air. The valley boasts a rich diversity of flora and fauna, contributing to its wild charm. Admire the rugged beauty of the Pine on the Rock, listen to the legendary tales of the Yuanbao Stone, and pause at the Water Source to experience the poetic mood of “reaching the end of the water, then sitting and watching the clouds rise.” The Water Source landscape in Cherry Valley was once famed for its mountain spring that gushed year-round. The spring water is crystal clear and sweet, rivaling Hangzhou’s Tiger Running Spring. The valley’s Clear Spring Tea House offers seating where visitors can stop to savor the delicious Cherry Spring water. It’s a great spot for weekend leisure.
