Located in the centre of Beijing, Beihai is the earliest, best-preserved
and most culturally profound classical royal garden in China's existing
history. The formation and development of Beihai, through the Jin, Yuan,
Ming and Qing dynasties, carries nearly a thousand years of China's
history and culture, and has formed a gardening art style represented by
the Royal Garden, which is a masterpiece that unites the culture and art
of gardens through the ages.
