There are nine coiled dragons on each of the north and south sides, playing with pearls in the waves and clouds. It is located northeast of Chengguan Hall on the north bank of the park, facing the Taiye Lake and overlooking Qionghua Island.



The top of the Nine Dragon Wall is in the shape of a hip-and-gable roof, with a main ridge and four vertical ridges. There are nine dragons on the front and back of the main ridge, one dragon on each side of the vertical ridge, and two ridge-swallowing beasts on both sides.

To the north of the Five Dragon Pavilion in Beihai and to the west of the Heavenly King Hall, there is a world-famous Nine Dragon Wall. Built in the 21st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1756), the wall is 5 meters high, 1.2 meters thick and 27 meters long. It is a colorful glazed brick screen wall. The base is a blue-white jade platform with a green glazed tile Xumi pedestal on it. The wall on the pedestal is a glazed relief, and the entire wall is inlaid with seven-color glazed bricks. It is huge and exquisite. There are 9 coiled dragons on each of the north and south sides, with different shapes, flying and playing with pearls in the waves and clouds. The dragons are vigorous, their claws are powerful, and their images are vivid and lifelike. There was a poem that said: "Nine dragons are playing with the black pearl, the clouds and mist are dark and the mirage is lonely, the trance of lightning breaks the wall, and the picture of the old man flies out of the sky." The east side of the wall is decorated with river cliffs, sea water, and rising sun and flowing clouds, and the west side is decorated with river cliffs, sea water, and bright moon in the sky and flowing clouds. The top of the wall is a glazed tiled large ridged hall roof, and the large ridge is decorated with yellow glazed flowing clouds and flying dragons. The screen wall is built with 424 prefabricated seven-color glazed bricks. It is colorful, simple and generous, and is a masterpiece of Chinese glazed structural architecture. According to the "History of the Qing Palace", during the Jiaqing period, "to the west of the Western Heaven Brahma Realm, there is a glazed wall (now the Nine Dragon Wall) like a screen. To the north of the wall is the Zhendi Gate, and inside the gate is the Great Round Mirror Wisdom Hall. The north of the hall and the 43 houses on the left and right are all places for storing scriptures." It can be seen that the Nine Dragon Wall at that time was a magnificent screen wall in front of a group of buildings. Unfortunately, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing in 1900, the buildings to the north of the Nine Dragon Wall were burned down by the invading army. The Nine Dragon Wall survived because it was made of non-combustible materials.
