Yuyuantan Park

Local name玉渊潭公园
LocationBeijing, China

Yuyuantan Park is one of major urban parks in the city of Beijing. This park covers a territory of about 137 hectares, 61 of which are covered by water. Yuyuantan is the largest water body in the park, and it literally means the Jade Deep Pond. The park is located between the western segment of Third Ring Road and the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. The China Millennium Monument is located just to the south of the park, and the Chinese Navy Hospital is to the north of the Park. Central Radio & TV Tower can be viewed in the park.

Yuyuantan has a long history. During Liao Dynasty and Jurchen Jin Dynasty, Beijing was the secondary capital city of those two dynasties, and the area of current Yuyuantan was a notable attraction outside of the city at that time. However, there was no lake back in those days. At that time, the place of current Yuyuantan Park was just a low land.
