北京明城墙遗址公园

Reviews

What a shame that we Chinese ourselves destroyed the Peking City with savage madness and stupidity! In year 2000, Beijing gov restored the Wall with bricks that had been taken by Beijing city's own residents, who themselves tore down the Wall in the 1950s, for building a small house just to improve their living condition, as part of the revolution led by Chairman Mao to be against Feudalism. Is it ironic that Sicheng Liang who had protected Japan's Kyoto and Nara from nuclear bomb can't stop Chinese stupidity dismantling the Peking City Wall? 60 years ago, we destroyed all of the Wall, which had been lasting for about 500 years, because it represented the Feudalism in our leaders' view. 50 years ago, we restored part of the Wall to what it seems to have been lasted for several hundreds years to attract tourism. In 1950s, the "Liang-Chen planning(梁陈方案)" was not executed for the leaders short sight. Liang-Chen planning(梁陈方案), initiated by Sicheng Liang and Zhanxiang Chen, was an overall city proposal, which aims to remain all Peking City as a whole as it was before 1949, and to propose the location of Central Government near Gongzhufen(公主坟) and supporting transportation facilities and residential area around Gongzhufen, minimizing the transportation distance from work for government staff. Because Peking City, before 1949, is the only and unique well-preserved city that has been lasting for nearly 500 years and is not suitable to stand large scale construction. The supporting facility in old Peking City was too out-dated for running a government and because it could sabotage the whole City. Then Chairman Mao turned the planning and took Russian's planning which views Peking City as a useless and meaningless ancient City and proposes to construct all the government buildings alongside Chang'an Street. Then nightmare began. Wall built in Ming Dynasty was tore down by residences themselves in Peiking City to have additional living room.

Not many people. Ticket only 10 yuan. Not very big. You can tell most of it is redone, if you've been to Xi'an you can skip this. Such a shame the government destroyed the wall back in the day. Spring is best time to go. You can still see some of the old wall on the Westside, but can't go there. Has bathrooms.

Jardim maravilhoso ainda muito pouco explorado pelos turistas. Como ficava em frente ao nosso hotel sempre íamos caminhar por lá e nunca encontramos um turista sequer, em compensação sempre havia muitas crianças e idosos aproveitando a tranquilidade do lugar.

Healthy park in the middle of many roads around including railway and the train! Very attractive and peaceful place for tourist. Not much people on the wall and good for peeping around. If you want to have some exercise you should come here, very recommend.

Great little walking park along the old Ming Dynasty City Wall. The wall's in great shape, all things considered (probably got restored recently), and the walking paths are well-maintained. Lots of families make use of it and I saw several…...

It's directly accessible from exit B of the Chongwenmen metro station on line 2 or 5. From here, you'll be on the west end of the park. Continue east along the length of the 1.5 km section of wall from Chongwenmen to Dongbianmen. It's the…...

Excellent park to soak up some local life in Beijing - very peaceful and quiet despite the central location. The Ming Tower at the eastern end of the park has excellent views of the district, including a great view of trains arriving and…...

Nice spot for a quiet walk. Overall time required here would be around 90 minutes. 10RMB entry fee gets you access to the top of the wall and the museum inside the large guardhouse. You get a nice view of the surrounds and Beijing train…...

Одним словом история, всем любителем достопримечательностей обязательно к посещению, огромная парковая территория, но на газоне лежать не принято, из минусов - что бы дойти до самого центра и главного дворца нужно оплатить в трех кассах.

角樓壯觀，內部修整過，可以眺望北京站的地面火車！更是最後一段保存的北京內城城牆，值得。 The only part of the old inner walls of Beijing city!! Train to the station can be seen on the wall and castle.
