Near the East Second Ring Road of Beijing

Next to the Ming City Wall Ruins Park

It's only a 15 minute drive from the Forbidden City

There are many tall buildings here, which can be said to be an inch of land and an inch of gold

I didn't expect it to be among the buildings

Look up and see the lush green

It turned out to be an aerial garden on the roof

A garden is built on the roof, and it is still on the edge of the imperial city

Who is the owner of this garden

The owner of the garden is Gao Jianfeng, who is in his early 70s. He came from agriculture. He is not only interested in flowers and plants, but also good at garden design. No wonder he can create a five story sky garden

Mr. Gao likes the natural state of life, so there are always large tracts of flowers and plants in his design works. With these models, he travels all over the country and shows them in Colleges and forums, hoping that more people can accept this concept of life

When Mr. Gao retires, he finally has time to complete his dream. There is no yard at home and there is just a roof! Thinking of doing it, Mr. Gao immediately drew a drawing:

The roof of teacher Gao's house is an irregular slope. Although the total area is large, it turns East and West. Most people retreat after watching it, but it's not difficult for the master. With a few strokes, teacher Gao completed the renderings of the five storey sky garden

First floor: small balcony

The first floor of the hanging garden is the balcony with the original attic. The gardenia, fortune tree, happiness tree and small leaf red sandalwood planted by Mr. Gao are here. Looking at Beijing, it is no longer reinforced concrete, but green

There is a ladder on the small balcony on the first floor. Climbing up from this ladder is the second floor. All around the ladder are grapevines, with only one hole exposed for easy up and down. From this point of view, it's really unique

Second floor: Vineyard

Mr. Gao's Vineyard can be said to make full use of the advantages of the sloping roof. In the southeast corner of the whole building, the light here is the best and most suitable for the growth of grapes

The location is good, and the grapes are also good. This vine is an "old tree" raised by the Gao family for decades. Look at this old photo, you will know

Miss Gao said that even her daughter grew up eating the grapes of this tree. The vine is full of memories

Third floor: Rose Garden

The area of the third floor is not big or small, a little awkward, and relatively narrow. Teacher Gao planted roses here, mostly red old roses, with frequent flowering and less insect diseases

Besides roses, there are also some flower and fruit trees, such as jasmine, hibiscus, Sedum notoginseng, peach tree, Fugui seed and so on. These flowers can either be eaten or made into tea or used as medicine. Miss Gao was really careful

Fourth floor: Taoyuan entrance

The fourth floor is a long and narrow "L" corridor, with several larger flowers, including Chenopodium grandiflorum, Chlamys farreri, Cymbidium Chunlan and purple jasmine, and a small cherry tree in the north. In addition to flowers and plants, it is a passage to the core of the garden

Standing on the fourth floor of the Internet, it is the highlight of the garden. Mr. Gao specially repaired the wooden stairs and made an arch, which is called "Taoyuan"

Although there are no peach blossoms in Taoyuan, it is really a paradise in a busy city

Fifth floor: air "Taoyuan"

On the fourth floor, I can't wait to see teacher Gao's fifth floor. I heard that this is the core of the whole garden~

On the top floor is a rooftop garden, where you can drink tea, enjoy flowers and plants, and have a panoramic view of the central scenery of Beijing

This floor has the largest area. There are not only flowers and grass, but also fruit trees and vines. Put two sets of tables and chairs. Usually take a nap here, which is better than living immortals~

At the edge of the Imperial City, I can still be so complacent. I don't know how many people envy Mr. Gao's days. His sky garden was also on Beijing Satellite TV, which was praised by the host

don't think Mr. Gao is very idle when he sees this place. He has been very busy ever since he built this hanging garden. Besides planting flowers, he has also planted many dishes. Even if it's a garden, it can't be called a vegetable garden! p>

In addition to vegetables, there are many fruit trees. Grapes, peach trees, cherries, apples and orange trees all need careful care to bear fruit every year

In this way, with hundreds of pots of flowers and trees, teacher Gao needs to have "three heads and six arms". When asked carefully, Mr. Gao smiled. It turned out that he also installed an intelligent watering system. The mobile phone operated watering. Huahua is really eye opening~

As long as the watering time is set on the mobile phone, you can control it remotely and water it on time ~ I can't see that Mr. Gao in his 70s is still a technology expert

In addition to advanced technology and equipment, Mr. Gao also made a skateboard for bigger flowers. It's easy to push around. It's all right to run after the sun every day~

Mr. Gao's care is not only in raising flowers and grass, but also in the safety of the roof garden. The stress points of each area should be fixed to the load-bearing wall to ensure safety

Of course, we need to strive for a dream life. Every morning, the sun passes through the flowers and leaves. This is the most gratifying moment for teacher Gao

Among the flowers and grass, you can also vaguely see the ancient city building in the distance

Tired of leisure, the family sat in the shade, drank tea, ate fruit and talked about family life. The days flowed through the fragrance of flowers and birds

Even if you live in a busy city, you can attract a few wild ducks to stay and lay eggs on the way~

Pianpian butterflies are also frequent visitors in the garden. They constantly fly to collect honey. The so-called "great concealment in the world" refers to this realm

Finally, although the roof garden is beautiful, there are still hidden dangers due to the dense surrounding buildings. Mr. Gao's garden doesn't know how long it will last. I hope this beautiful scenery can not only be enjoyed in the picture~
