Beijing Guide

This park is 9km long and situated in north Beijing between the third and fourth ring roads. It runs on both sides of a canal, with bridges linking the two sides every so often. Also known as YuanDaDu.

With a history of over 700 years, YuanDaDu ChengYuan (ChengYuan means City Wall) was built between 1267 and 1276. The remains of this earthen wall run along the south side of the park.

Among other sculptures and exhibits, there are giant statues of 19 historical figures such as Kublai Khan, the Imperial Concubine and Italian traveller Marco Polo. Some of the statues are over 5m tall.

It is a new park - part open air museum, part relaxing and beautiful space. One stretch has been assigned as a 'bar street' on one side.
