Explore the Beihai Park, a public park and former imperial garden located immediately northwest of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Discover the park's numerous historically important structures, palaces, and temples.
First built in the 12th century, Beihai is among the largest of all surviving Chinese gardens. Once part of the Imperial City, it has been open to the public since 1925. As with many of Chinese imperial gardens, Beihai was designed to imitate renowned scenic spots and architecture from various regions of China, particularly Jiangnan around the Yangtze Delta.
Various aspects of the park evoke the elaborate pavilions and canals of Hangzhou and Yangzhou, the delicate gardens of Suzhou, and the natural scenery around Lake Tai with its famously porous stones. Beihai Park itself is now reckoned one of the masterpieces of Chinese gardening and landscaping.
