Bei Hai Park

Built in the era of Kublai Khan, this park was originally used for recreation by the emperors of post-Kublai Khan dynasties. The famous White Dagoba standing above the Jade Islet sets an exotic scene. It is a memorial to a visit by the Dalai Lama in 1651. Other famous features include the Nine-Dragon Screen, built to push away  evil spirits, and the Five-Dragon Pavilion. The park is amazing in every season, especially during the summer when beautiful lotus blooms cover the surface of the lake.
