Xiang Shan Park, Beijing

Xiangshan Park, Beijing


Xiang Shan Park, or Fragrant Hill Park, is an expansive wooded parkland in Beijing. The park, at Wofosi Lu, Xiang Shan, in Haidian district of Beijing, is most beautiful during autumn, when the maple leaves turn a brilliant red.

Within Xiang Shan Park is Biyun Temple, or Temple of the Azure Clouds. It is located near the main gate of the park. Entering the temple, one is greeted by the fierce looking statues of Heng and Ha, the temple protectors. At the rear of the temple is the 34-meter (112 feet) Diamond Throne Pagoda.

Within Biyun Temple is the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. This was where the coffin of Sun Yat-sen was kept in 1925, before being taken to Nanjing.

At Xiang Shan Park you can take a chairlift up to Incense Burner Peak, where the views are most scenic.

How to reach Xian Shan Park

Take Bus 333 from the Summer Palace, or bus 360 from the Beijing Botanical Garden.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
