Beihai Park

Beihai Park is laid out in accordance with the mythological "one pond and three immortal mountains". Beihai and Zhongnanhai symbolize the "Taiye Pond", Qionghua Island symbolizes "Penglai", Tuancheng symbolizes "Yingzhou", and Xishan Terrace in Zhongnanhai symbolizes "Fangzhang". You can enter Beihai Park from the north gate, which is very convenient with the subway and overlook the White Pagoda; you can go to Qionghua Island at the east gate, but you need to buy a separate ticket. If you go too late, you won't be able to go up, so you have to pay attention to the time; the Nine Dragon Wall is the only double-sided wall among the three ancient Nine Dragon Walls in China.

Located in the northwest of the Forbidden City, it is collectively called the Three Seas together with Zhonghai and Nanhai, and is one of the ancient Chinese royal gardens. The entire garden is centered on Beihai, with a water surface of 583 mu, an area of ​​about 71 hectares, and a land area of ​​480 mu. It was originally a palace built by the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, and was opened as an imperial garden by the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of the most complete, oldest, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in China.

Beihai Park, located on the west side of Jingshan Mountain and northwest of the Forbidden City, is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative imperial gardens in China. This is the park I have visited the most. It is close to home and the tickets are cheap. It is worth visiting in every season. Especially in spring, the sky is high and the air is fresh, and the flowers are in full bloom. It is so beautiful!

Beihai Park is very cold in winter and the waters are frozen, but there are still a lot of people during the Chinese New Year, and the festive atmosphere is still so strong. We can’t go boating, so we can only quietly watch the little yellow ducks sitting in a row and eating fruit!
When you enter Beihai Park from the Beihai North Gate, remember to walk to the left after entering the gate. The highlights are on the left, and it is very close to the next sightseeing point, Jingshan Park. Don't walk to the right. Walk along the lake to the left and you will come to the White Pagoda. Here you can see the White Pagoda very close and intimate! If you want to climb the tower, you can go and have fun, but we didn't go because the scenery above is very ordinary. I personally feel that it is not necessary. Just watch from a distance!

Beihai Park is beautiful. It is beautiful in the melodious organ sounds at sunset, the ripples on the lake caused by boats, the ducks and mandarin ducks playing freely, and the intoxicating scenery...
Go boating on the lake and feel the comfort of a peaceful life.
The colors of Beihai Park are really beautiful. From early morning to dusk, it is like a magical curtain, allowing the brush of time to fill and paint. I love dusk the most. Her cheeks are flushed, and she changes her shy look in a second.
The afterglow of Beihai Park is still amazing when I think of it now. This is just one of its many faces, which happens to be recorded deep in the memory of a guest from the south like me. Oh, this is the Beihai in Beijing!

When Beihai is mentioned, the beautiful melody of "Let's Row the Boat" rings in my ears. For those who grew up listening to this song and are visiting Beijing for the first time, how can they not go to Beihai?
Beihai Park is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative imperial gardens in China. It has gone through five dynasties, namely Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. It was built based on the fantasy world of the immortal world in ancient Chinese mythology. It also integrates the artistic achievements of Chinese temple gardens, Jiangnan literati gardens and scenic spots into the entire palace. Its large scale, long historical tradition and high artistic achievements make it a masterpiece among the remaining Chinese parks.
Beihai in November is filled with autumn, and the chrysanthemums at the Chrysanthemum Exhibition are fragrant. Tickets are 5 yuan, and you need to buy another 10 yuan to visit Yong'an Temple on Qiong Island and climb the White Pagoda to overlook the panoramic view of Beijing.

It is human nature to pursue perfection. But in the world of aesthetics, perfection is not necessarily equal to beauty. The beauty of imperfection has always been an important chapter of aesthetics. The armless Venus in the Louvre, the unfinished regret of the Red Mansion, the first love that ended without a disease... one after another of the imperfections bends into a new moon, scattering the white moonlight of a lifetime of infatuation in your heart and mine. In poetry, the most amazing expression of the beauty of imperfection is Li Shangyin's "Leave the withered lotus to listen to the sound of rain". So in "Dream of Red Mansions", Baoyu, who originally wanted to ask people to pluck the withered lotus, immediately wanted to leave the withered lotus after hearing Daiyu's wish of "listening to the rain on the withered lotus". This is not a dead branch or leaf, but a percussion instrument, which will play a late autumn aria with the autumn rain. Back to the point, if you encounter bad weather in late autumn, don't worry, just go to Beihai to listen to the rain.

"Let's row our oars..." Visiting Beihai Park with childhood memories and aspirations, it is very pleasant to bathe in the spring sunshine! There are also temples, especially the Nine Dragon Wall is worth visiting.

Unlike the Forbidden City and Prince Gong's Mansion, which close early, Beihai Park still sells tickets until dark! So I planned to visit Beihai in the afternoon, making the most of my spare time to visit as many scenic spots as possible. Walking into Beihai Park at dusk and looking at the vast and lively lake, it seemed as if all the fatigue of the day was swept away.
Across the lake, you can see the Wanshou Pavilion in Jingshan from afar
The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool breeze blew in my face. I really like this kind of "private" park. I can walk around freely. When I get tired, I can sit by the lake. There are no noisy tourists around. I can be in a daze or bask in the sun and let my mind go.

Beihai Park is probably the oldest and most complete existing imperial garden in China, and what evokes our memories is the song "Let's Row the Boat".
We chose to go there on a weekend afternoon. Since it was summer and the summer vacation, many parents brought their children to the lake, so there were still many people in the park.
I bought a combined ticket for 20 yuan. In addition to touring around the lake, you can also visit Qionghua Island. The scenery after entering the park is stunning, with arch bridges, archways, the White Pagoda in the distance, and the lake full of blooming lotus flowers... After crossing the bridge, you will reach Qionghua Island. It is said that the soil dug from the Jinhai was expanded into an island and hills surrounding the sea. The island is covered with dense trees. Climbing to the top of the mountain is the famous White Pagoda. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Beihai. There are also countless people rowing boats on the lake.
After coming down from the mountain, we walked around the lake and found some particularly recommended attractions, such as Jingxinzhai, which has a unique shape and is very much in the style of Suzhou gardens, and the Nine Dragon Wall inlaid with five-color glazed tiles. It really takes a full half day to slowly visit them, and I will definitely come back if I get the chance.

Get up in the morning to visit Beihai, and come to see the White Pagoda in the evening! It is recommended to spend half a day there. You can arrange your visit time according to your schedule, the opening and closing times of the park, and your own pace.
Beihai Lake is adjacent to the Forbidden City and Jingshan Mountain in the east, Zhonghai Lake and Nanhai Lake in the south, and Shichahai Lake in the north. It is the first of the three most beautiful lakes in Beijing, with "one lake and three mountains". The lake is Taiye Lake, Qionghua Island is like "Penglai", Tuancheng is "Yingzhou", and Xishan Terrace in Zhonghai Lake is like "Fangzhang". The lake light, tower shadows, green pines and cypresses, pavilions, terraces, stacked stones and caves are gorgeous and beautiful, just like a fairyland.
I personally think that the most worthwhile attraction in Beihai Park is the Nine Dragon Wall, which was originally the screen wall in front of the Great Mirror Wisdom Hall and was built in the 21st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1756). The wall is 5.96 meters high, 1.60 meters thick, and 25.52 meters long. Both sides of the wall are inlaid with seven-color glazed bricks and tiles. It is also the only double-sided wall among the three existing ancient Nine Dragon Walls in China, and it is also the one with the most exquisite architecture and the most beautiful composition.
If you love photography, don't miss the photography of the White Pagoda on Qionghua Island. The White Pagoda is not included in the ticket. If you want to enter, you need to buy a separate ticket. However, the best photography of the White Pagoda is the distant view, especially in the evening when there is a sunset, it is very beautiful; Tuancheng is also a good shooting spot. If you have enough time, it is recommended not to miss it!
If you like humanities, I suggest you get up early when there are fewer tourists. In the morning, there will be many old Beijing uncles exercising in Beihai Park. They like to chat and talk about everything under the sun. I just happened to run into them when I first went there. It was fun, haha...
The ticket to Beihai Park does not include tickets to all the attractions inside. Some attractions require additional tickets. Internal transportation and cruise ships also require additional fees. Cruise ships are basically not open in winter, but sometimes some activities are held in the park at the end of the year. It is still very good if you are lucky enough to encounter them. You can also pay attention to it in advance!
It is recommended to arrange the itinerary in advance. Beihai Park is not suitable for a full-day tour. You can visit surrounding attractions together, such as Shichahai, Prince Gong's Mansion, Jingshan Park and many other attractions, which are all nearby. Zhongnanhai and Beihai Park are only separated by a bridge. If you want to see the mysterious Zhongnanhai, you can also watch it from a distance across the bridge! Then choose a sightseeing route according to the itinerary and tour map, choose the most suitable route, try not to go back, and enter and exit in conjunction with other attractions to avoid detours and delays.
Finally, the official website and WeChat public account have free tour explanations. It is recommended to pay attention in advance to save you the money for the tour. At the same time, the tour with explanations can help you better understand the history and culture of Beihai Park, so that the tour will be worthwhile!!!

Beihai Park is located in the central area of ​​Beijing, on the west side of Jingshan Mountain in the city and to the northwest of the Forbidden City. Together with Zhonghai and Nanhai, it is called the Three Seas. It is an ancient Chinese royal garden. The whole park is centered on Beihai, covering an area of ​​about 71 hectares, with 583 mu of water and 480 mu of land. It was originally a palace built by the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, and was opened as an imperial garden by the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in China. It was opened as a park in 1925. It is the oldest and most complete royal garden preserved in China.

It has a very authentic Beijing flavor. Many elderly people sing operas and square dances. Beihai Lake, White Pagoda, and the cool breeze blowing in my face remind me of the song I sang when I was a child - Let's Row the Oars

Beihai, one of the three lakes in Beijing, is a royal garden with landscapes, bridges, corridors and pavilions, and is ingeniously laid out and magnificent. The temples on Qionghua Island are filled with incense and the white pagoda is in the sunset, creating a magnificent scene. Let us row our oars and sing out the voice of a happy generation.

It is very beautiful inside, the scenery is very beautiful, there is a small lake, and there are small boats to take. It is really nice to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery while looking at the sky. There are also some special snacks in it that are very delicious. The colors look very appetizing, the price is not expensive, the portion is very large, and the service attitude is also very good. I suggest that you can go and experience it. Beihai Park is located in the center of Beijing. It is one of the oldest and most well-preserved royal gardens in my country, with a history of nearly a thousand years. Beihai is adjacent to the Forbidden City and Jingshan in the east, Zhonghai and Nanhai in the south, Xingsheng Palace and Longfu Palace in the west, and Shichahai in the north. It is the first of the top "three seas" with the most beautiful scenery in Beijing. It has a unique gardening art style and is the refinement of ancient Chinese gardens and one of the most precious human cultural heritages. There are various cruise entertainment projects in the park, and various exhibitions are held all year round, making it the best place for Chinese and foreign tourists who are too lazy.

Very nice park
It is actually the back garden of Beijing people.
Everyone was walking and chatting there comfortably.

It's better than expected. I thought it was just a park, but I didn't expect there was a white tower and the Nine Dragon Wall. Be sure to reserve three hours.

As one of the three major imperial gardens in Beijing, it is located close to the Forbidden City and is therefore the most popular.

I only saw the White Pagoda, nothing else. The main reason is that there is also a White Pagoda in the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, and it would be a pity not to see it.

A song that lets us row our oars together, the eternal white tower

I recommend walking around, it has a very authentic Beijing flavor. Many elderly people are singing operas inside. Seeing Beihai reminds me of the song when I was a child, let's row the oars

We walked around Beihai and found that some small attractions were closed after 4:30 pm, so we tried to go early.

The Big White Pagoda in Beihai was my first impression of Beijing when I was a child. It was the background of the song "Let's Row the Boat" when I was a child.

The ticket inspector at the north gate was rude, as if she owed him money.
Overall it's pretty good, a natural oxygen bar ~ There is only one ticket for entering, and you have to buy another ticket to the White Pagoda, just like the Temple of Heaven.
The picture is not P ~ giving people a refreshing feeling ~

There aren't that many flowers in Beihai Park in early spring, but as a royal garden, it still has a different flavor. The sparrows that rest on the Nine Dragon Wall may have rested on it a hundred years ago, which brings people back to history.

The scenery is nice. The service is so-so. If you are in Beijing, you will definitely go there, but if you come to Beijing specifically, it is not worth going there.

White stones and white towers, white towers and white stones, let's row our oars and push the waves away

Beihai Park has a nice view, with the White Pagoda on the top of the mountain and a lake where you can go boating. The White Pagoda is 75 meters above sea level and echoes Jingshan in the distance.

"Let's row our oars and push the waves..." This is the place described in the well-known song. Beihai is located in the northwest of the Forbidden City. Together with Zhonghai and Nanhai, it is called the Three Seas. The park was once a royal garden. The pavilions in the park are scattered and shaded, and the lakeside is lush and green. The scenery is extremely beautiful.

The atmosphere in the park was so good that we walked around the lake. The ice rink was not very large, and a fence enclosed a safe area. There were a lot of people inside, and the sound of metal ping-pong was heard.
The sound of chirping can be heard everywhere, and outside there are happy onlookers, all of whom are enjoying the fun brought by the cold winter.

Very nice classical royal park, especially Jingxinzhai

In the afternoon, when the sun is shining, I invite a close friend to buy a five-dollar ticket and walk around the park, watching the adults, children and the elderly coming and going. It is a different feeling. May all the beauty in the world be presented in the sun.

Beihai Park is close to the city center and is one of the royal gardens. It is also the best place for residents who live close to the park to take a walk. Beihai Park is even more beautiful when it snows!

There is a famous White Pagoda in Beihai Park, but the scenery in winter is rather ordinary.

Just like what is described in the Chinese textbook~ In summer, many lotus flowers are blooming and it is still very beautiful~

I went there during the Spring Festival. There were no boats to push away the waves, and the only thing I could feel was the freezing cold wind. The ice rink was closed, so I didn't skate. I walked around Qiongdao Island and then to the north gate. It felt like most parks.

You can overlook Zhongnanhai. There are some old people playing diabolo in the park, which is fun. There is also a place to send postcards. I sent one to my family.

Beihai Park is not too big or too small, not crowded, 5 yuan for tickets, 15 yuan for a combined ticket if you want to go to the White Pagoda, this price is very cheap! It feels much more comfortable than Shichahai opposite. It is great to bask in the sun when the weather is good!

As soon as you enter Beihai Park, the White Pagoda comes into view! You can also see the White Pagoda from the city wall of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City. Going further in, the frozen lake becomes a super lively ice rink in winter. There are people skating on it. I checked the ticket price and it is 100 per person, with no time limit or restrictions on the items.

It is a good place to digest food at night. It is very suitable to go in for a stroll at dusk, find a good place to sit down and enjoy the lake view, and walk in to see local people singing and dancing.

Beihai Park has a vast water surface, numerous cruise ships, lake views, tower shadows, pavilions, gallery corridors, and unique buildings, which is a typical royal garden design.

As the leader of ancient Chinese royal gardens, Beihai Park attracts tourists from home and abroad with its unique temperament. Strolling in the park, watching the sparkling water, and feeling the spring shade of Qiongdao, at this moment, it seems as if you have traveled back to the Ming and Qing dynasties and are talking with the ancients.

Located on the west side of Jingshan Mountain, the White Pagoda standing on the top of the mountain is a landmark building. It is one of the oldest and best-preserved royal gardens in my country.

In fact, it is about the same distance as the Forbidden City. The White Pagoda in the park is a landmark. You can climb up to see it up close. There is also the famous Nine Dragon Wall.

Beihai Park is located in the central area of ​​Beijing, on the west side of Jingshan Mountain in the city and to the northwest of the Forbidden City. Together with Zhonghai and Nanhai, it is called the Three Seas. It is an ancient Chinese royal garden. The whole park is centered on Beihai, covering an area of ​​about 71 hectares, with 583 mu of water and 480 mu of land. It was originally a palace built by the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, and was opened as an imperial garden by the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in China. It was opened as a park in 1925. It is the oldest and most complete royal garden preserved in China, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction

Beihai Park is quite large. As a person from the southern water town, it is indeed surprising to see such a large "sea" in a park in a northern city. The thing that impressed me the most was naturally the White Pagoda.
The White Pagoda is a landmark building in Beihai, located at the highest point in the center of Qionghua Island, with a dominating momentum over the entire park. It is a typical Tibetan Buddhist pagoda, surrounded by greenery, majestic and magnificent.
I still remember that Tuancheng is located at the southernmost end of Beihai Park. The main building is Chengguang Hall. There is a 1.5-meter-high jade Buddha enshrined in the store, which is inlaid with gems and is dazzling.
The northwest corner of the park is mainly composed of a series of religious buildings such as Kuaixue Hall, Wulong Pavilion, Xiaoxitian, Jingxinzhai, Chanfu Temple and Xitian Fanjing. The well-known "Nine Dragon Wall" is also located in this area. The Nine Dragon Wall is built with colored glazed bricks. There are nine coiled dragons on each side of the wall. There are 32 dragons in total including the top of the wall and the five sides. The coiled dragons play with pearls in the waves and clouds. The shape is vivid, the colors are bright, and the craftsmanship is superb. It is a fine product of Chinese glazed architecture.

Beihai Park has pleasant scenery. It will definitely be more beautiful in spring. The environment is quiet and I really want to sit there for an afternoon.

I passed by and took a photo. This is the bad thing about Beijing. It is difficult to take clear photos in heavy smog.

Boating in Beihai Park is the best choice. The most famous song "Let's Row the Boat" that has accompanied several generations growing up was filmed here.

The place where Let's Row the Oars took place is not far from Jingshan Park. Here you can see the White Pagoda but not the green trees and red walls.

The filming location of the movie "Flowers of the Motherland", theme song: Let's row the oars, one of the royal gardens

Beihai Park has a vast water surface, swaying green trees, a towering white pagoda, and magnificent palaces and pavilions. It has the grand momentum of northern gardens and the graceful charm of southern gardens. It is unforgettable even if you have only visited once.

I arrived at Beihai Park at 5:30. The sunset over Beihai was stunning.

Beihai Park was crowded with people, the sky was blue and the white pagoda was sunny. The little surprise I encountered today was this little science experiment called "Quark Planet". It seemed to be a public welfare activity for college students. They made a lot of science toys and exhibited them on the roadside. The children liked them very much. Their public account is called Quark Planet. I recommend it to everyone. There are many free courses on it. I will show them to my children slowly when I get home.

The clouds cover the setting sun, and I feel sad about this separation. I wish to go to Mount Huangshan, but have no way to see what I miss.

There are many people at the north gate of Beihai Park, but it is very lively. It is suitable for walking and it is refreshing.

Not enough time! Didn't go in! Ride to worship and walk around! Will go next time!

The classic nursery rhyme "Let's Row the Oars" when I was a child came from here. We played the song and experienced rowing and watching the scenery. Unfortunately, there were only electric boats. The price depends on the number of people, up to 10 people. I remember that it was 120/hour for 4 people.

If you have enough time, I suggest you rent a boat to tour the lake. We rented a pedal boat at that time, which cost 60 yuan per hour. If you exceed one hour, you will be charged 1.5 hours (90 yuan), so pay attention to the time of play! We paid 30 yuan more because we exceeded the limit by a few minutes. When renting a boat, you need to pay a 200 yuan cash deposit. Please note that only cash is accepted. If you don’t have cash, you can only find someone to help you.

There is a feeling called Beihai, there is a memory called White Pagoda, and there is a song that sings childhood memories.

There are many groups exercising in the park, including those doing gymnastics, dancing, swordplay, and fashion shows. Most of them are retired uncles and aunts who are making use of their remaining energy.

In August, lotus flowers are in full bloom in Beihai Park. Enjoying the lotus in summer has become an annual traditional activity in Beihai Park.

With blue sky and white clouds, gentle breeze and weeping willows, the song "Let's Row the Boat" echoes in the park, which makes people unable to help but hum along.

Beihai Park is very large and is a great place for travel and leisure.

The tour started at 1:30. The park played "Let's Row the Oars" "Let's row the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the lake reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls"! It immediately brought people into the artistic conception and returned to the Beihai Park in the textbooks when they were young!
At 3 o'clock, we were ready to take a boat ride. When we paddled, the wind started to blow on the lake. We asked the boat ticket window and found out that all the park docks were closed for ticket sales! This was a small regret! Then we visited the park along the lake, climbed up to the White Pagoda, and looked at Zhongnanhai in the distance!

We entered Beihai Park from the north gate. The main activity in the park is boating in Beihai Taiye Lake. There are nearly ten types of boats in the park, including hand-rowed boats, lotus boats, and yellow duck boats. After some searching, we finally came to the electric boat dock near the east gate. We walked past the bridge leading to the White Pagoda. A lotus pond was in front of us. Large lotus flowers were blooming, and several hand-rowed boats were dotted in between, which was very poetic. Our boat slowly sailed on the lake. The beautiful scenery was in front of us, and the breeze was blowing on our faces. It was very comfortable. An hour passed quickly, and we went back to the dock and went out of the park from the south gate. Opposite Beihai was the heavily guarded Zhongnanhai, and diagonally opposite was the northwest corner tower of the Forbidden City, which must be visited by photographers. Along the moat was the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City.

Beihai Park is located in the center of Beijing and is separated from Zhongnanhai by a bridge. The park has beautiful scenery and you can go boating and take photos on the wide lake. There is a famous White Pagoda on Qionghua Island in the park.

Beihai Park is a model of royal gardens. No matter how many times you come, you will find new beauty and infinite charm. Tickets are very cheap here. The peak season package is 20 yuan, and the discount ticket is half price. People over 60 years old can get half price. In fact, no matter when and where you come to Beihai, you will be surprised. Beihai North Gate of Metro Line 6 and Beihai Station of Line 8 are very convenient.

This is one of the oldest and best-preserved royal gardens in my country. It has now become a good place for leisure and entertainment for the general public. Choirs, dance troupes, etc. can be seen everywhere. The White Pagoda is the landmark building of Beihai Park. You can take a ferry to the bottom of the White Pagoda and then walk up, but the ferry was not running that day, so you have to walk. We weighed our physical strength and decided to give up. The shade of the park is a good place to cool off. If you are tired, find a place to sit under the willow trees by the lake and you will be refreshed in minutes.

The ticket is 10 yuan. The inside is also 10 yuan, the scenery is average. It's all about the same.

After coming down from the White Pagoda, we walked around the garden. The weather was really good. My favorite places in Beijing are the Summer Palace and Beihai Park. They are comfortable. There are stone carvings of calligraphy from past dynasties.

Beihai Park is centered on the lake, surrounded by scattered rockeries, grass, and paths. It is full of green plants, and the red walls surrounding the park reflect the shadows of the trees under the mottled light and shadow, which is really beautiful. I came here on a morning with good weather and fell in love with it at first sight.
The ticket to the park is 10 yuan. Later I found out that the door I entered was the side door of the park, not the busy main entrance. I was secretly glad that I entered the park through the side door.
After passing through a bamboo forest, we arrived at the stone road beside the park wall in a quiet way. The main road was very lively, and I could hear the shouts of children and the chatter of people coming and going, but there were not many people on the stone road. I walked slowly on the green stones, looking at the red walls that already had a sense of age and the lush pine trees.
The red wall in Beijing is always endowed with special meaning. You can deeply feel it at a glance. This is the color of Beijing. The weather is exceptionally good. The red wall is covered with mottled tree shadows. The blue-gray bricks are covered with moss. Green grass grows in the cracks of the bricks. It is full of vitality and the taste of time.
Leaving the bluestone path and coming to the main road, the sparkling lake garden is no longer so exquisite and fashionable, but I also believe that people who come here are not looking for fashion and novelty. Maybe for the locals, it is a good place to kill time, and for tourists, it has the taste of old times.
After hesitating for a long time by the lake, I continued along the trail. There were very few people on the trail. The large grass was still green, but there were many fallen leaves. The willow branches were still green, and their graceful figures were hanging down to the lake.

I personally think that Beihai Park is the most worthwhile park to visit in Beijing. The scenery is particularly beautiful, especially when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun. It is so beautiful! It happened to be a very sunny day when I went there, with blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water, and picturesque scenery. Beihai Park is very large, and I still haven't finished visiting it after three or four hours. The most beautiful sightseeing season is summer, and it is best to go there when the lotus flowers are in full bloom.

The first time we went there, we couldn't take a boat due to weather conditions! We only saw the Nine Dragon Wall and sat on a small stool beside it, enjoying the breeze and chatting...
The second time I went, I arrived at Beihai Park around 5 o'clock. Compared with other attractions, there were not many people.
Beihai Park and Jingshan Park are the same. At around 5 pm, there will be much fewer people. So the advantage of independent travel is that you can selectively avoid these peak periods.
It’s so nice to be able to sit on a boat and watch the sunset!

Beihai Park is very big, imitating the style of Jiangnan gardens, very beautiful and I like it very much

It was not yet 16:00 when we left Prince Gong’s Mansion, so we walked eastward along Qianhai West Street to Sanzuoqiao Hutong, then southward to Di’anmen West Street, and visited Beihai Park (ticket price: 5 yuan). Standing by the lake, we looked out at the majestic and magnificent White Pagoda under the setting sun; we stopped at the “Hua Zang Jie” archway of Daxitian, which was magnificent; we admired the exquisite double-sided Nine Dragon Wall in front of the Great Round Mirror Wisdom Hall (Note: “China’s Three Major Nine Dragon Walls” are the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Nine Dragon Wall in Datong, and the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai, Beijing, but this one is a double-sided wall); we walked through the elegant and graceful Kuaixue Hall, lingered at the ancient and thick iron shadow wall, and came to the “Aurora Fragrance Forest” archway of Xiaoxitian. It was past the business hours of the scenic area, so we could not enter to visit the Paradise. We looked back at the Five Dragon Pavilion, which was once used by emperors, empresses, and dignitaries to fish and enjoy the moon, and then to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Tower, which had turned to dust, where only a lonely stone tablet remained.

It’s a pity that we went there in winter, so we didn’t see the green mountains and clear waters, nor the reflected white pagoda. It was just a vast expanse of white. We couldn’t take a boat trip because the lake was frozen, so we recommend coming to Beihai Park in spring.

After dinner, you need to digest the food, so Beihai Park is a very good choice. In Beihai Park, you can not only paddle a boat to see the White Pagoda, but also take a walk. It is also very pleasant.
