Parker och trädgårdar i Peking

Parks & Gardens

Beijing’s parks offer a blend of imperial history and diverse landscapes. The UNESCO-listed Summer Palace and the ruins of the Old Summer Palace showcase Qing-dynasty architecture and expansive lakes. Centrally located, Jingshan Park provides elevated views directly north of the Forbidden City, while the Grand View Garden features intricate classical landscaping. For larger urban retreats, Chaoyang Park occupies a former prince’s estate, and Zizhuyuan Park is renowned for its extensive bamboo groves. These sites provide cultural depth through historic monuments, zoological exhibits, and traditional Chinese garden design.
