About Beihai Park 4

Beihai Park is located in the central area of Beijing, to the northwest of the Forbidden City, bordering Jing Shan to the east, facing Zhongnanhai to the south, and adjoined by Shichahai to the north. The park covers a total area of 682,000 square meters, with 389,000 square meters dedicated to water features and 293,000 square meters for land areas. It is China’s oldest extant classical imperial garden, preserved in its original form, and rich in cultural heritage, as well as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. The origins of Beihai Park can be traced back to the “Jin Hai” period during the Liao Dynasty; it underwent expansions during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, eventually becoming a true imperial garden behind the palace. During the Qing Dynasty, it was damaged after the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance.
