Even When You Can't Travel Abroad, You Can Still Enjoy the Romance of a French Garden and Lake View
I've been spending quite a lot of time in Beijing lately, almost touring every corner of the city. On days when I can't go abroad, I feel like I'm losing my romantic spirit! So I decided to search for some fresh air around the outskirts of Beijing—as long as it's not too far, I'm even okay with crossing a province. About 40 kilometers from the Yuyingquan Bridge on the South Third Ring Road, there is the Yongding River Peacock City Great Lake. The name instantly attracted me, and I happily decided to go there!
To avoid stepping on a landmine, I did a quick search on this place. It is said to have been meticulously crafted with the spirit of French courtly refinement, taking a full 7 years to create! Thinking about it, French architecture and French gardens are really worth looking forward to!
Upon arriving at Peacock City Great Lake Park, I was instantly surrounded by French romance! Having been in Beijing for so long, this is the first time I've seen such a large lake and commercial street atmosphere—a perfect spot for taking photos!
The lake water looks incredibly clear. Groups of ducks and swans are playing and frolicking in the water—what a beautiful scene!
It makes me think that living here would be the kind of lakeside dwelling I dream of! The beautiful environment makes me feel like I'm in Europe—why bother going abroad?
According to the introduction next to Peacock City Great Lake Park, this lake covers 130,000 square meters. It's truly the artistic home of lakeside living, perfectly matching my taste!
Saying it's an artistic home isn't just because I'm impressed by the lake. The Great Lake Garden World right next to the park is equally stunning!
Since its opening in 2018, the large lawns and tall trees of the Great Lake Garden World have stretched across both sides of the garden and the lake, offering an aesthetic and consumer experience comparable to Beijing's finest commercial districts! This international-style garden commercial street hosts a large number of famous dining and leisure brands, such as Melody KTV, Xiaoxiang Mansion, Drunken South Asia, Hutaoli Music Restaurant, Chuanjidao, Maya Teppanyaki, Costa Coffee, Tang Lounge, and more.
Pretending to be in Europe anytime here is absolutely not an exaggeration! Of course, if you want to taste Southeast Asian flavors while feeling like you're in Europe, that's also possible—the international dining brands are no joke.
Because the Great Lake Garden World has many consumer brands, the architectural style is slightly more diverse. Taking stunning photos here is a piece of cake! Whether it's trendy influencer shots, street-style photos, check-in photos, or tourist snapshots, with good weather and a good mood, you'll definitely get a beautiful, stylish photo set that's all your own!
This time, I discovered that the previously popular 'Gu'an International Light and Shadow Festival' was also held here! I had been fascinated by the promotions on various online platforms back then, so I took a photo to commemorate that I had been here!
There's a Super Theater in the Great Lake Garden World. It is said to be not only the core attraction of Peacock City Great Lake Park but also a cultural landmark of Langfang! Each year, it stages over 200 classic plays and stage productions such as 'Farewell My Concubine' (The Breakup Master), 'Delivery Master', 'Scumbag Angel', etc. As the only theater in the Langfang area that can host shows on Damai, it currently has signed collaborations with authorized plays from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with about 20 performances per year. It also occasionally features some Beijing-based Quyi programs like Tingyunxuan. Art truly comes from life!
A lake, a view, a street, an object—when you come to such a romantic and elegant lake park, who needs distant lands abroad? If you love our own city, the city will also bestow love upon us. After all, romance originates from luxury, returns to comfort, and resides in emotion! On days when you want to go abroad, come to Peacock City Great Lake Park, embrace the romance of this French-style garden lake view, enjoy sumptuous feasts from around the world at Great Lake Garden World, and create your own artistic home of life!
