BEIHAI PARK
Beihai Park is an ancient and well preserved park laid out in Liao Dynasty (916-1125 AD) in the center of Beijing near Shichahai area, west of Forbidden City and Jingshan Park. During the next 800 years in succeeding Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties (1115-1911 AD), the kings and emperors continued to beautify this park which consists of 168 acres, half of which is water area called Beihai Lake. There is Jade Flowery Islet in the middle of the lake on which is constructed an imposing White Dagoba on the top of an artificial hill.
The White Dagoba was constructed in 1650 on the site of Kublai Khan’s Palace of the Moon where he received Marco Polo, the great Italian Traveler. There are some sacred articles placed inside the Dagoba including two pieces of Sarira. From the top of the hill one can have the most beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area of central Beijing.
There is also a Botanical Garden besides a Circular City in the Park. Another interesting feature of the park is that Chinese women and men can be seen dancing and exercising on tunes of Chinese, Indian and English music.
