Don't miss this hidden gem! Just a short walk from the Summer Palace, you'll find a lovely surprise.
Tucked just outside the Summer Palace's New Palace Gate lies a hidden treasure: Liulangzhuang Park, a tranquil, stunning spot that looks like it stepped straight from a Monet painting.
The area where the park sits was once famous for growing Jingxi Rice, a historic local crop. Today, it's an open, boundary-free green space covering about 13.77 hectares.
Every turn in the park offers a new view: trickling streams under stone bridges, paths lined with colorful blooms, and well-spaced viewing platforms. Beneath lush, leafy canopies, even the breeze feels refreshing and calm.
The park is beautiful in every season, open to the public for free. It's perfect for a leisurely stroll, a quiet break, or a chance to immerse yourself in the rich history of western Beijing.
