Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics ParkⅠ

With a length of 9 kilometers (6.6 miles), the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park extends across Haidian and Chaoyang districts from west to east and is the largest linear park in Beijing. The moat dug in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) flows through the park and divides it into two parts connected by six bridges. The north section is the city wall relics protected area and the south section is planted with trees, flowers and grass dotted with sculptures, pavilions and murals.

As its name suggests, this park was built on the city wall relics of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). The original city wall was 600 meters (656 yards) long constructed of rammed-earth in which poles and crossbars were used to reinforce it. The east and west walls were built where the inner city wall of Beijing is located. The south wall spanned from east to west today's Chang'an Street while the north wall was 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the Anding Gate (Andingmen). Visitors can find the city wall relics in the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park in Haidian District. In addition, the whole park shows the prosperous Yuan Dynasty through murals and sculptures.
