Beijing Parks Photo Gallery

The Ming City Wall Ruins Park is all that is left of the original city wall that stretched 24km long. Roads and subways caused most of it to be demolished back in the 1960s.

From up here, the city has built up all around these historic relics.

Yuanmingyuan was left in the present ruinous state after invading European powers destroyed it in 1860. Today, the park symbolizes Chinese humilitation during the last imperial dynasty.
