Tucked away near Beijing’s bustling Dongzhimen, Nanguan Park offers a peaceful escape. Nanguan Park is a charming example of a traditional Chinese neighborhood park, hidden just inside the Second Ring Road. A leisurely stroll around the park takes about 10-15 minutes. In every corner, you’ll discover locals enjoying outdoor activities. You might see grandmothers practicing dancercise, people reading newspapers by the designated wall, children bouncing on a bouncy castle, musicians playing the erhu, Pekin Opera singers performing, and men engrossed in games of Chinese chess. At the heart of Nanguan Park lies a tranquil man-made lake. This lake transforms the park into a refreshing oasis, especially during the summer. Remarkably, a pair of mandarin ducks have made their home on a small island in the lake. In the fall, the park comes alive with thousands of dragonflies. The sounds of a bullfrog can sometimes be heard, a surprising discovery just 500 meters from the busy Second Ring Road. Nanguan Park also stands out as a model “Low-carbon Life Demonstration Park”. There’s a center showcasing how kitchen waste can be converted into natural gas. There’s even a model low-carbon house. School children often visit the learning center for educational field trips, guided by trained personnel. Nanguan Park is the perfect place to experience the charm of a traditional Chinese neighborhood park.
