#chinatraveltips I think this spot isn't that mainstream among Beijing visitors. The name is The Ruins of the Yuan Dynasty or simply called as Yuandadu Park Beijing. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's historical past. Visiting these ancient remnants, one can explore the foundations of structures built during the Yuan Dynasty, which was marked by significant cultural and architectural development. The site features remnants of palaces, temples, and city walls, all reflecting the grandeur of this Mongol-led dynasty. Walking through the ruins, visitors gain insight into the architectural styles of the period and the early foundations of modern Beijing. It's an enriching experience for history enthusiasts and those interested in ancient Chinese civilizations.

The ruins of the capital city wall of the Yuan Dynasty are located in Chaoyang District and Haidian District of Beijing. They are the ruins of the outer walls of the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty. They were mainly built with rammed earth and are commonly known as "Tucheng". The city wall was built in the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty (1267) and was completed in the nineteenth year of the reign of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty (1359). In order to strengthen the defense, urns and suspension bridges were built at the eleven gates of the capital city. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the original Yuan Dynasty city wall was wrapped with bricks, and the northern city of the Yuan Dynasty was moved 1 kilometer south to rebuild the Ming Dynasty city wall. Therefore, the northern sections of the North City Wall and the West City Wall of the Yuan Dynasty have been preserved. The city walls were all made of rammed earth. In order to strengthen the city walls, "Yongding pillars" (vertical pillars) and "紴 pillars" (horizontal beams) were used in the rammed earth. The architectural form, construction methods and careful and rigorous planning and design of the Yuan Dadu City Wall have become important physical data for studying Yuan Dynasty architecture and Yuan Dynasty urban construction projects as well as the history of Beijing's urban development.

Here is another spot in Beijing that has historical vibe. The name is Yuandadu Park. It's basically the ruins from Yuan Dynasty Capital. You can come here for relaxing as well as keeping in touch with the story behind it. There is no entrance fee to access this area.

#cherryblossom2024 Yuandadu City Wall Ruins Park is a must-visit destination in Beijing during spring, especially for crabapple enthusiasts.

Although the Yuandadu Relics Park is a rich historical and cultural heritage, and a cultural relics protection point showing the development track of Beijing City for more than 700 years. Although the tickets are free, I believe that many people go to the Yuandadu Relics Park, mainly to see the Begonia flower of Haitang Huaxi, not for the site. The Yuandudu Relics Park is not only a historical monument, but also a natural landscape. It is also necessary to watch the Haitang flower scene at this time. At the same time, the Yuandadu Site Park was rated as a national-level AAAA scenic spot, and I think it is inseparable from the merits of Haitang Huaxi.
