Information
Beihai Park is located in the central area of Beijing and is mainly composed of Beihai Lake and Qionghua Island. It covers an area of 68 hectares, with approximately 39 hectares of water surface and 29 hectares of land. It is the earliest existing classical royal garden in China, with the most complete preservation and the deepest cultural accumulation. Beihai Park was originally built during the Liao Dynasty (916 - 1125) and was repaired and rebuilt in subsequent dynasties such as Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing (1115 - 1911). The large-scale reconstruction during the Qianlong period (1644 - 1911) roughly established the current scale and layout. In 1925, it was opened to the public for the first time, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world each year. The entire park is rich in a strong sense of fantasy and artistic conception, known as the "Fairy Mountain and Jade Pavilion." The layout of the park is centered around Qionghua Island, with the white pagoda standing tall at the mountain's peak, and the temples arranged along the mountain slope to the archway at the foot of the mountain. A bridge spans across, connecting with the grandeur of the Chengguang Hall in the Tuan City, echoing the mountain peak to the foot of the mountain, where pavilions and towers are hidden among the deep rocks, interspersed and varied. If you only visit Tuan City and Qionghua Island, it will take about 2 hours to complete the tour. If you want to overview the entire park's scenery, it will take at least about 4 hours. The park is quite large, requiring a lot of walking, so a comfortable pair of shoes is essential for the visit.
