Taoranting Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taoranting Park is located to the north of Beijing's Southern Railway Station in the southern part of the city. A former location for literati to get together, while most of Beijing's gardens were reserved only for imperial families during the Qing Dynasty, it gained its name from a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi.
The park has a lake with many pavilions scattered around its bank. It is popular with residents and visitors for walking and boating.
