  • Casual afternoon visit with annual ticket, so it saved quite a lot of time of queuing. There are several people wearing traditional Chinese clothes taking photos.

  • Beihai Park is not just a tourist stop, but also a great park for a Sunday evening stroll. You can walk the whole loop in about 1 hour. If you want to see the big “White Pagoda” up close just add...

  • Nice park in the heart of the city, with a huge lake. It used to be thr imperial garden (located just North of the Forbidden City). The nearest subway station is Line 6 (Beihai Bei).
  • Beihai park is a big park with some local historic architectures and suitable for a walk of 4-5 hours. Friendly for children. Beautiful park.
  • beautiful Park, nice cosplay girl with my nièce 😆 so many people waiting boat 😭
  • This is a very pretty view, clean and the locals are kind. Great for photos. I give this 4/5 because I didn’t feel that it was culturally enriching. It feels customized for tourists. Our rickshaw riders had to stop a lot for traffic, since they’re providing a “tour” it’s best to tip them. We couldn’t understand him, but he tried. The bathrooms are decent, hidden in different places and hard to find.
  • Really pretty park! Definitely has some of the most beautiful views you'll see in a Beijing park. The white tower costs extra to be admitted to, and, in my opinion, you don't really need to bother with it. The park is plenty enjoyable without the extra.
