Enjoy colorful spring in Taiyuan

Beilin Park

The simple but elegant Yulan magnolia flowers look like lamps or flying pigeons. The snow white petals stand in the early spring chill providing visitors a quietly elegant beauty. The best spot for viewing Yulan magnolia flowers in Taiyuan is Beilin Park, which boasts pavilions, artificial hills, bridges, ponds, and galleries. Integrating leisure, fitness, sightseeing, and ecology, the park has become an ideal place for local residents and tourists to enjoy the flowers across all four seasons: Yulan magnolia flowers in the spring, lotuses in the summer, chrysanthemum in the autumn, and wintersweet in the winter.
