The Chaoyang district is one of the most important economic and diplomatic zones in the Beijing downtown area, where many large shopping areas with hundreds of international brands and almost all the foreign embassies are located in this district. I have recently visited the shopping area SOLANA which is the largest international shopping area where most of the international brands are selling their products. It is not so easy to find all the international brands, especially the luxurious brands to be found int he city here.
I wanted to buy a perfume for my brother, and I bought the perfume from Chanel brand. Usually I don't buy anything from such expensive brand except some special gifts for some special persons. The price of the perfume of a 100 ml bottle was 1400 RMB which is really high for me for a perfume! And almost everything you buy hee is so expensive as it is for the upper class people of the city. Last time I also bought a shoe from Adidas with a price of 1200 RMB where I can fond so many excellent optionf woth 300/400 RMB from the Chinese brands which are sometimes better than these expensive brands!
The Solana is locted near the Chaoyand park and the by the lake known as the Shuizhui Lake. I ahev paid a short visit to the lakeside area where I have found some amzing views of the city views in the early evening time after the sunset. The whole west sky was witht the orange colore and the reflection of the city view was also so beautiful in the lake water there.
There is a walking path from the west gate of the Chaoyang park towards the Solana shopping area and then you can find another corner of the park wherea fancy city of POPLAND is located, I wanrted to visit this fancy city area but unfortunately the time was expired as it offers ticket upto 5 pm and no entrty was then available to explore the Popland exploration area. I only found so many people were leaving the scenic spots when I came to the main gate area. But I found the gate so fancy that will definitely attract the children to enter it. Maybe in the future I will visit the area again.
The natural scenmarios of the city views and the descrete part of the Chaoyang park make some amazing views of the area. One of the iconic view of the Chaoyang park island is a open gallery in a shape of an oyster-shell which looks fantastic from the city side path. The most ibeautiful scene is viewed from the lake btidge that shows the natural scenes of the galler and the city area with the red sky in the background making the best view of this scenic city area.
The natural beauty in the late afternoon is alwaysb so attractive with the golden light from the western sky and when the natural surrounding is very beautiful in the lakeside aarea where the antrue and the city meet together, the overal beauty is extended to a higher level. It is not found always but that the day the antural beauty and the city view were merged together to create these amazing views of the city as you can see in these shots that I have taken in my trip.
There were many ducks swimming in the lake water and also in the descrete part of the park in the corner of the park and Solana I found tiny pond ahving the residual plants on the standstill water making a great view of that side of the Chaoyang district of the Beijing municipality. I am so blessed to ahve such amazing travel experience in such a beautiful city.
I hope you like these amazing views of the early lakeside Chaoyang city views in the Beijing downtown with the natural beauty and the beauty of the early winter after sunset of the area. And the golden sky reflection on the water made the scenic views more attractive to enjoy the time with nature when it in the transition period of the day. I am so pleased to enjoy such scenic views of the winter nature in this part of the city that is so busy, one of the overall Beijing municipality. If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them according to my knowledge. Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
