I have visited almost all the popular parks in Beijing city, including Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, Yuyuantan Park, and other park-themed places like the Olympic Park, Botanical Garden, Summer Palace, Chaoyang Park, and so many smaller imperial garden-type tourist spots where I found the natural environment is so clean and the surrounding views are truly breathtaking there. The cleanliness and the greenery of the plants and trees will definitely attract you with their serene beauty and peaceful natural vibes in such spots.
Beijing has around 44% forest cover of its total area, including these man-made parks in the downtown area and the other mountain parks in both the western and northern sections of the municipality. It is astonishing that almost 50% of this forest area is artificial, and other parts are truly wild areas, most of which are in the mountainous region of the Beijing municipality. All of these parks are well organized and everywhere you will find a great arrangement of the walking path of the park with the water bodies inside the park where you can explore the lotus flower when the season comes.
Dear @tanzil2024 !
Hassan!
I was surprised by the fact that Beijing's forests were created artificially!

The Chinese people of Beijing have always suffered from the flooding of the Yellow River, which has been ongoing since ancient times. Therefore, the Chinese constructed artificial forests, lakes, waterways, and reservoirs to prevent the flooding.
That is the reason they built the countless artificial forests, lakes, waterways, and reservoirs in Beijing that you witnessed!
Yeah, they are so good at it!
