Beihai Park is a historic imperial garden in central Beijing, originally built in the 10th century. It centers around a large lake with Qionghua Island, topped by the striking White Pagoda, a Tibetan-style stupa built in 1651. The park features traditional pavilions, rockeries, and the Nine-Dragon Wall, a glazed-tile screen. Visitors can stroll along willow-lined paths, rent paddleboats on the lake, or climb to the pagoda for views of the city. The park's blend of natural beauty and imperial architecture offers a peaceful retreat from the urban bustle.

Don't miss

  • Climb to the White Pagoda for panoramic views of Beijing.
  • See the Nine-Dragon Wall, a colorful glazed-tile screen with nine dragons.
  • Take a boat ride on the lake to enjoy the garden from the water.
