**★★★★★ Alexander Vladimirov — a month ago

After the majestic, vast, and tourist‑crowded Forbidden City, coming here is an interesting and pleasant experience.

When I visited Beijing for the first time (and had no guide), I didn't even think to come here. And that was a pity.

The park is located very close to the Forbidden City. Until 1925, it was completely closed off; during the imperial era, it was considered an imperial park.

Beihai Park is the best park in Beijing!!! The scenery is always the best and there’s also a Chinese café in Beihai Park called 仿膳茶社. They provide traditional Chinese desserts and tea. You can refill the tea for free. The price is fair, not expensive at all!!

🌿 Calm and Beautiful — Beihai Park, Beijing (北海公园)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I recently visited Beihai Park in Beijing, China. Though I couldn’t explore the entire park, the part I did see was truly beautiful. 🌸

🚶‍♂️ Peaceful Walk by the Lake: I walked along the lakeside — the view was calm and refreshing. I was lucky to see a few beautiful mandarins (ducks) swimming in the lake. They looked absolutely gorgeous, and I was mesmerized by their colors and elegance. 🦆✨

Beihai Park is one of Beijing’s oldest and most enchanting gardens, with origins that can be traced back as far as the Liao Dynasty. The centerpiece of the park is the vast artificial lake, dug by hand centuries ago, with the soil used to create the hill where the White Dagoba pagoda now stands. This brilliant feat of landscape design reflects the ingenuity of imperial garden planning in ancient China.

Walking through the grounds, you get a sense of layered history—emperors once enjoyed these s

Good Park, Very cool in the summer and autumn, many Tibet Buddhist statues and very nice view when you are on a boat. I recommend that you ride the boats. It is a really beautiful view even though it is expensive. If you want to enter the park, it’s about ¥20 or $3 dollars. It is tricky to navigate without a map and there aren’t any so I recommend that you ask directions to staff. The park is good if you want to go for a little jog or if you want to just look at the statues and learn history.
