Decoding Beijing: Roaming in Blossoming Ocean of Trees in Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park

As President Xi emphasized, "Let’s transform the capital into a grand garden." A garden city is essential to creating a world-class, harmonious, and livable environment. Building a city-wide forest and garden-like urban space is the "Beijing Solution" toward realizing the vision of a "Beautiful China." Spanning 6.8 square kilometers, the Olympic Forest Park is a landmark in Beijing’s "City of a Thousand Parks" initiative. It is a vast, eco-friendly urban park that embraces extensive low-carbon technologies.

How does the park extend the flower season through varied combinations of vegetation? How is its fitness trail scientifically planned to become a popular recreational space for residents? Today, join Japanese blogger Mion (みおん) and Zhang Yan, a project manager from Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning & Design Institute, as we explore the unique charm of the Olympic Forest Park.
