Where Emperors Sailed for Pleasure – Beijing’s 1,000-Year-Old Watercolor Comes Alive

#chinatravel

Glide across 68 hectares of liquid history, where Khubilai Khan once raced dragon boats, Qianlong Emperor penned poetry on Jade Islet, and today’s locals waltz to accordion covers of Soviet classics under ancient cypress trees.

✔ WHY BEIHAI?
✅ Time Capsule – Combines Liao gardens + Yuan waterways + Ming pavilions
✅ Four-Season Theater – Spring jade willows / Summer lotus boats / Autumn golden ginkgos / Ice-skating on frozen lakes
✅ Hidden Surprises – The "Hao Pu Creek" mini-canyon with carved cliff poems
