Beining Park

Beining Park is always brimming with seasonal colours, with springtime bringing the seemingly endless displays of cherry blossoms and being especially impressive. Other highlights within the park include a number of ponds, connected by a long arched bridge, and also the enormous Zhiyuan Pagoda, which towers more than 70 metres / 230 feet in height and dominates much of the park itself. Located in the Heping area of Tianjin, Beining Park is also particularly attractive during the autumn months, when the many trees quickly gain a colourful coat of leaves.
