The history of Beihai Park goes back more than 800 years. In the 10th century, an imperial residence was built here. When Beijing became the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the first Yuan emperor, Kublai Khan, had the park splendidly designed. The large picturesque stones on the park grounds were brought here from the Imperial Garden of the Northern Song Capital, Kaifeng.
In 1651, the White Pagoda was built on the site of the ruins of Guanghan Palace which had been destroyed by an earthquake. Main attractions in Beihai Park are Round City, Jade Flower Island, White Pagoda,Wanfo Lou Tower, Nine-Dragon Wall , Iron Screen, Xiao Xitian Pavilion,and Chengguang Dian,etc. Leave a Comment

Broadsheets had been neatly encased in frames attached to a wall, complete with a decorative awning, to allow residents to catch up with breaking news.
Head down to Beihai Park if you want to share in information-sharing slightly more physically substantial than cyber space!

The Round City's total area is about 4500 square meters with a circular wall of 4.6 miter high and 276 meter long. In 1669, the Cheng Guang Dian was collapsed in an earthquake. It was rebuilt in 1690 and expanded in 1746 to the present scale.
The Round City has a distinctive courtyard with halls, pavilions and ancient trees. There is a white jade Buddha statue set out in Cheng Guang Dian. Witin the Round City, there is a Jade Jar Pavilion in which there is a jade jar - called 'Du Shan Da Yu Hai' - left from the Yuan Dynasty.
