Very interesting and beautiful place to visit and walk around. Enjoying the history and scenery.
**★★★★★ Gerald S — 7 years ago
Views were still fantastic even during the cold November month. Ferries/boat rides were not operating during this time.
**★★★★★ stefanus indra — 10 years ago
Very beautiful park. The only downside is that you have to pay to enter. Visit this park in your Beijing journey!

Beihai Park is a beautiful park next to the Forbidden City with many architectural treasures and temples in its own right. The central feature is a large lake and island.
After a day of visiting the often crowded Forbidden City, Beihai Park is a good place to relax and perhaps feed the fish or ducks. In summer, there are boat rides on the lake but in the winter, when we visited, the lake was frozen solid, which is beautiful in its own way (but be warned, it gets quite cold in the late afternoon
