Free! The blossoming mountain peach trees set against the ancient pagoda, which soars high into the clouds
Among the many parks in Beijing, the Ancient Pagoda Park is definitely one of the less popular ones, but its scenery is no less stunning. Within the park, there is a fitness trail that runs through all the beautiful sights. With few people and beautiful scenery, it is a great place for leisure, fitness, flower viewing, and taking children out for a walk.
The Ancient Pagoda Park is located in the Wangsiying area in the southeastern part of Chaoyang District, Beijing. It consists of four major scenic areas: the West Gate area, the Central Lake area, the Mountain Flower Garden area, and the Ancient Pagoda area, covering an area of 55.7 hectares. The park is named after a Ming Dynasty Ten Directions Buddha Pagoda built in 1545 that stands within its grounds.
✅Here, you can see the Pingquan mountains lush with greenery, small bridges over flowing water, and combinations of pavilions and corridors, scenes that are no less beautiful than those in the south of the Yangtze River.
✅The Ten Directions Buddha Pagoda, also known as the Yanshou Temple Pagoda, is named for the relics of the Emperor's monks placed inside. It is one of the more intact Ming Dynasty dense-eave style brick pagodas in the Beijing area. The pagoda faces south from the north, is about 31 meters high, and is an octagonal nine-tiered dense-eave style brick pagoda. It was declared a 'city protected' site in 1990.
✅The park is planted with more than 200 varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers, totaling about 220,000 plants. Recently, the park's mountain peach blossoms have reached their peak bloom, with clusters of pink flowers complementing the ancient pagoda and other ancient buildings. Magnolia and winter jasmine buds are about to bloom, attracting visitors to come and take pictures and create memories.
The spring breeze is refreshing, and all things are reviving. It's time to add some spring colors to your outing! If you have time, it's recommended to take a walk here!

There are Liao towers, temples, and petrified wood in the park
The Liao Tower was restored in 1996, and it looks a bit new.
Guangji Temple is not open during the Spring Festival.
There are quite a few petrified forests in the park that were formed 170 million years ago and moved from Yi County.

Ancient architecture enthusiasts are shocked, this is the ancient architecture group of Jinzhou Guangji Temple
Guangji Temple ancient architecture group is located in the west corner of Laocheng North Street, Guta District, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province.
Da Guangji Temple, also known as Dafo Temple, was built in the Liao Dynasty according to the Ming Dynasty stele in the temple. It was destroyed by war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and was rebuilt many times after the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
The entire temple complex of Guangji Temple is compact, including Guangji Temple, Guangji Temple Pagoda, Jinzhou Tianhou Palace and Yijun Zhaizhong Shrine. It is the most complete tower and temple combined architecture in the western Liaoning region.
The buildings inside look quite old, the wood carvings of the brackets and doors are mottled, and most of the patterns and stories depicted are blurred and invisible. The most shocking thing is the auspicious animal on the bracket in the first picture. I don't know how to call it because of my shallow knowledge. It feels alive, agile, panting, and about to burst out in the next second.
Jinzhou Liao Tower is located in front of Da Guangji Temple and is a provincial cultural relic in Liaoning.
According to the Ming Jiajing stele (written by Xuan Da patrol envoy Wen Gui), Gao Lin, a Zhongjing Grand Master of the Jin Dynasty, once wrote a 'Tower Record' saying that the tower was built in the third year of Liao Daozong Qingning (1057) to collect the relics of the queen. The tower is a brick solid heart dense eaves style, now 57 meters high. The tower body has eight sides, each side is carved with a Buddha, three treasure covers and two flying sky. The flying sky is soaring above, the Buddha is sitting in the niche, and the attendants are standing next to the niche. The tower eaves have thirteen layers, each corner originally had nanmu beams, supporting the eaves corners, and hanging copper bells, most of which have fallen off, and only 11 are left in the northwest corner. The top of the tower was knocked down by the Ming army with a cannon during the Yongle period. The brick carvings of beams, columns, brackets and decorations on the tower have also mostly fallen off. The tower base was repaired with green bricks in 1933.
