Longtan Park, Urban recreational park in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China
The expansive 120-hectare park contains a central lake surrounded by moon bridges, rock gardens, pathways, and traditional tea houses spread across its grounds.
During the Ming Dynasty under Jiajing Emperor, this location served as a quarry providing earth and mud for manufacturing bricks used in Beijing city walls.
The park incorporates 100 dragon sculptures throughout its landscape, including carved figures at Dragon Gate and Green Dragon Bridge, representing Chinese mythological elements.
Visitors can rent boats priced between 40 and 80 yuan per hour to explore the lake, or use the 500-meter synthetic track for exercise.
A collection of ten large dragons created from vegetation and two additional dragons made from flowers decorate different sections of the park grounds.
